2 Introduction to FreeSpeak II®

With a FreeSpeak II (FS II) wireless beltpack you can roam freely around a site or

facility while talking and listening to all, or selected, members of the production

team. With its four communication routes, the beltpack gives you the flexibility to

communicate quickly and seamlessly with individuals or groups, and to change

communication routes as often as needed.

With FS II you can set up a wireless system specifically tailored to local needs by

locating transceivers and beltpacks in areas where they are needed most. And

because the beltpacks operate in the unlicensed 1.90 and 2.4 GHz frequency

spectrum, there is no interference with existing wireless systems, even those

located in the same area.

FreeSpeak II offers a choice of two transceivers:

lFS II transceiver that operates using E1 digital transmission

lFS II IP transceiver (IPT) that leverages your existing IP infrastructure for

convenience and ease of installation.

With FreeSpeak II Integra, wireless beltpack users can communicate with any

Eclipse HX panel users on a one-to-one or group basis.

Note: This User Guide covers the use of FS II with a matrix only (FS II Integra). For more

information on running an FS II system with a Base station, please see FreeSpeak II

User Guide, Base Station Version.

To use FreeSpeak II with a matrix, the matrix must be equipped with

lE-IPA-HX cards for connection to FS II IP transceivers

lE-Que cards in transceiver or splitter mode for connection to FS II

transceivers.

The system must be configured using the Eclipse HX Configuration Software. For

more detail, please refer to the Eclipse HX Configuration Software User Guide.

Note: You cannot configure FreeSpeak and FreeSpeak II on the same Eclipse matrix. If

you attempt to do so, the Eclipse HX Configuration Software displays a warning.

2.1 An FS II communication system

An FS II system consists of three main elements:

lThe wireless beltpacks.

Page 7

User Guide| FreeSpeak II Integra

lAn Eclipse HX matrix (Omega, Median or Delta) with an E-IPA-HX card or E-

Que card.

lThe transceiver network that provide custom coverage zones in which

beltpacks can operate. Beltpacks can roam freely between coverage zones.

FS II also includes a drop-in battery charger for the beltpack Li-Ion batteries. You

can conveniently charge the battery by placing the whole beltpack into the charger,

or by placing individual batteries into the charger.

FS II operates using a cellular network of transceivers located around a working

environment. The transceivers connect to the matrix via an E-IPA-HX or E-Que card

installed on the matrix. Each transceiver provides an area or cell in which up to ten

full-duplex beltpacks can operate.

Beltpacks can roam among and between cells without disconnecting because each

beltpack continually detects which transceiver has the strongest available signal.

When the signal from a transceiver starts to diminish due to the distance from a

beltpack, the beltpack automatically “hands off” its signal to the nearest

transceiver, ensuring smooth transfer.

Note: The E-IPA-HX card with IP Transceiver offers twice the beltpack density compared

to the E-Que card .
