User Station
This innovative front panel user station provides two keysets assignable to any intercom channel to each of the two pages, which the user can toggle between for a total of four channels. The stationÕs displays can be swiveled for optimal viewing angle. The user station is provided with a headset connection, gooseneck mic connector, loudspeaker and Program Audio level controls. HelixNet Speaker Station can be mounted in a standard 4-gang electrical enclosure or the optional Speaker Station enclosure (HXII-MOUNT, S-MOUNT) for portable and desktop applications.
The X7 variant of the speaker station provides seven-pin headset connection with additional PTT GPI, assignable to user station keys.
Local and Central Management Options
HelixNet Speaker Station can be added to an Arcadia or legacy HMS-4X2 without central configuration or interruption. Front panel keysets form unique waterfall menu allowing tactile device configuration and channel assignments. Roles can be created and applied to one or multiple speaker stations remotely or locally.
Roles can be edited locally or centrally managed from the Core Configuration Managerª (CCM1).
Connectivity and Power Options
HKB-2X connects to the Arcadia Central Station or HelixNet HMS-4X main station with HLI-ET2 Ethernet module over network. Power can be supplied to the speaker station locally with an optional power supply or Power over Ethernet (PoE) from 3rd party devices.
Alternatively, the HelixNet speaker station can connect using XLR Powerline, with power or locally powered, to the Arcadia Central Station via HXII-DPL Powerline Device or to HelixNet HMS-4X main stations. Powerline and local DC inputs connections are on Terminal Block Connectors for ease of installation.
HelixNet System:
- Wired Partyline - Networked
- Hosted by Arcadia or HMS-4X
- Up to 24 Channels Ð Licensed
- Up to 64Ê or 128 HelixNet Endpoints
- Program Audio user level control
| HelixNet System Hosts | Arcadia: Supports up to 128 HelixNet User Stations over Ethernet or Powerline via the HXII-DPL Powerline Device. Up to 24 Channels can be HelixNet Enabled using a Licensed Port for assignment to any HelixNet User Station keyset. HMS-4X: Supports up to 64 endpoints (Remote Stations, Speaker Stations, Beltpacks, HLI-2W2, HLI-4W2, LQ port). User stations can connect directly to the 2 HMS-4X Powerlines or via optional HLI-ET2 module using HXII-DPL Powerline Device or 3rd party network switch connection. HMS allows use of 12 channels which can be expanded to 24 using optional license. |
