Eclipse HXE-FIB fiber card

Eclipse HX E-FIB CARD

Dual redundant optical transceivers for networking matrices together to form a fiber optic ring. The fiber ring provides 1024 audio channels shared across all linked matrices (15 matrices in total) in the ring.

The Fiber ring carries audio only. Matrix to Matrix data is carried separately using a LAN The system also provides automatic switchover from ring A to ring B and Auto loopback in case of any breaks in the ring Two cards can be placed in a matrix to provide card redundancy as well ring redundancy

Ethernet data

A failure on transceiver A then the card switches automatically to transceiver BThe card status LED flashes to indicate which card is master and receiving audio

Transceiver LEDs on a fiber card which is correctly wired and running on Ring A

Wire up the matrices following the HX system numbers with the LOWEST IP address as system 1 / node 1,

For primary ring A wire from system 1 > system 2 > system 3 etc..

For redundant ring B wire from system 3 > system 2 > system 1

To configure a fiber network the following rules have to be followed

► Declare the fiber cards in HX for each matrix► Wire up the matrices following the HX system numbers with the LOWEST IP address as

system 1 / node 1► For primary ring A wire from system 1 > system 2 > system 3 etc..► For redundant ring B wire from system 3 > system 2 > system 1

HX allows each E-FIB (matrix) card to set a port count for the number of audio channels to be allocated to the matrix (trunk lines). Different matrices can be set different port counts (trunk lines). A max of 192 trunks per matrix can be set

The general recommendation for the E-FIB count port ► If the network is below 5x matrices set all port counts to the maximum 192 port count

► As the network grows above 6x matrices trailer the port count per matrix using the trunk usage messages from matrix event log.

► A break on the Main primary Fiber Ring► System switches to Backup redundant ring► A Break on the backup ring – system now goes

into LOOP- BACK and the system will heal it self and make best use of the fiber links that are intact
