  • Page 8: Introduction To Freespeak Edge

    FreeSpeak Edge | User Guide Introduction to FreeSpeak Edge™ FreeSpeak Edge™ is a member of Clear-Com’s FreeSpeak™ family of digital wireless intercom solutions. It uses the 5 GHz radio frequency range. The FreeSpeak Edge system includes full duplex multi-channel wireless beltpacks and transceivers for use in a matrix with Clear-Com's SMPTE 2110-30/AES67 compatible IP audio card, the E-IPA-HX.

  • Page 9: System Capacity

    FreeSpeak Edge | User Guide System capacity FreeSpeak Edge supports up to a maximum 64 beltpacks and 64 transceivers per E-IPA card. Each FreeSpeak Edge transceiver supports 10 beltpacks within one coverage zone. The technology within FreeSpeak permits the beltpack user to go between coverage zones created by different transceivers, and for the system to hand over the communication from one transceiver to the next.

  • Page 10: Rf Channel Selection 5 Ghz

    The Edge transceivers make use of antenna diversity. This involves two or more antennas used together to improve the quality and reliability of a wireless link. This, along with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) makes the FreeSpeak Edge system particularly suitable for a multipath environment and as long as channel selection is conducted carefully when this is necessary, gives a very robust and reliable coverage zone.
  • Page 11 FreeSpeak Edge | User Guide You will also see an indication in the Wireless Status Diagnostics screen: Each Edge transceiver uses 2 RF channels at any one time. Given that each transceiver makes use of two channels, a system consisting of 4 transceivers can make use of up to 8 channels.
  • Page 12 RF cell to suit your environment and avoid the possibility of channels being placed next to each other in the overall coverage zone. When using FreeSpeak Edge, the channels are selected automatically by the EHX software in the first instance.

  • Page 13: Channel Selection

    For detailed information refer to: FreeSpeak Edge RF Configuration Guide , available from the Clear-Com website. Channel selection The system software will allocate channels automatically. However, you may wish to allocate channels manually, for instance if you are using more than 4 transceivers or are working in a crowded RF environment.

  • Page 14: Transceiver Power

    FreeSpeak Edge | User Guide For more information see the Freespeak Edge RF Configuration Guide available from the Clear-Com website. Transceiver Power Transceiver power defaults to the highest available value (according to regulatory region). When one channel has a lower power setting than the other, the transceiver will take the lowest power setting.

  • Page 15: Channel Re-Use

    FreeSpeak Edge | User Guide Channel re-use Channel re-use is a way of making the best use of the available 5 GHz RF channels in your location. Employ channel re-use if you are: Using more than 4 transceivers And/or the channel availability on your site is limited by other RF traffic...
  • Page 16 Guidelines Transceiver RF coverage zones ideally overlap by 20% of the coverage cell If transceivers are 3m (10 feet) or less apart, for best performance, Clear-Com recommends that adjacent transceivers do not use adjacent channels. Without this gap between channels and transceivers, there is some possibility of interference.

  • Page 17: Using Dynamic Frequency Selection (Dfs) Channels

    FreeSpeak Edge | User Guide Using Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) channels DFS channels are selected by default by the system software as they are less crowded with wireless traffic than other channels. When DFS channels are used, the FS Edge system makes use of a channel scanning mechanism that switches the signal to a backup channel if radar is detected.

  • Page 18: Radar Scanning In Dfs Channels

    FreeSpeak Edge | User Guide Reset the channels in the EHX software. Navigate to: Matrix>Hardware>Transceivers>Transceiver>Basic Options, change channel and Apply Map to Matrix. Power cycle the transceiver (this can take up to 5 minutes) Reset the transceiver in the EHX software. Navigate to: Matrix>Hardware>Transceivers>Transceiver and click the cog icon...

  • Page 19: Transceiver - Excluded Channels

    FreeSpeak Edge | User Guide Backup channels are restricted to non-DFS channels to reduce the risk of non-transmission. The EHX software will report scanning for radar activity with explicit messaging. If the transceiver is in standalone mode and radar is detected, the device will stop transmitting.

  • Page 20: Wireless Regulatory Region (Wrr)

    The WRR defines the allowed channels, DFS functionality and RF power limits that are available to the FreeSpeak Edge system according to its regional regulatory requirements. 5 GHz channel use must comply with regional regulations. Each transceiver has a fixed WRR setting and cannot be changed by the user or any third-party.

    FreeSpeak Edge | User Guide You can also see the channels and power ratings available in each region in this screen. Note: The Edge transceiver is the master device with a fixed WRR (Wireless Regulatory Region) that ensures regulatory conformity with respect to allowed channels, DFS functionality and RF power settings.

  • Page 24: Local Rf Scan Using A Beltpack

    FreeSpeak Edge | User Guide Note: After using a beltpack with a transceiver in Standalone mode, you will need to re-register the beltpack to the matrix system. Local RF scan using a beltpack Your Edge beltpack has the capacity to conduct an RF scan of the local environment, in order to find out which 5GHz channels on your site are available and do not contain RF traffic.
  • Page 25 SSID (service set identifier (WiFi name) of one of the access points) Note: Clear-Com recommends that you select channels that have a score above 66% (green). Note: Once your beltpack is connected to an Edge system, you can check the quality of your connection to your local transceiver network.

    There is only one Ethernet and one Fiber connector on each transceiver, so daisy-chaining will always involve mixing cable types. See SFPs for Clear-Com Products available from the Clear-Com website. Note: The number of hops is limited to 3, so a maximum of 3 transceivers can be linked.

    FreeSpeak Edge | User Guide Connecting the FreeSpeak Edge transceivers to a matrix The FS Edge transceiver connects to an E-IPA-HX card in an Eclipse HX Digital Matrix. You can connect transceivers to one of the LAN ports (LAN 1 - 6) on the E-IPA card. The default connection for an AES67 network (IP transceivers) is LAN 3.
  • Page 35 FreeSpeak Edge | User Guide Recommendation: The IP transceivers have a higher than average requirement for network timing accuracy. For this reason it is advisable to use different VLANs to route Admin/IVC traffic and AES67 IPT traffic. Rule: Page 35...
  • Page 36 This is down to the way the E-IPA card routes audio and data between ports and processors. Example set ups: Note: The illustration above is the preferred LAN connector (3) configuration for the FreeSpeak Edge system. Page 36...
  • Page 37 Bear in mind the following network considerations. For more information, refer to the Clear- Com network recommendations document. Clear-Com recommends that AES67 traffic has its own dedicated network or VLAN. If there is no DHCP server, AES67 connections will use the link-local range of IP addresses (169.254.XXX.XXX).
