Matrix: Can I upgrade an M+3 panel to Eclipse by using the Eclipse firmware updater in ECS?
Matrix +3 legacy panels (ICS-52, 62, 92, 102, 2003, 1008 and 1016) CANNOT be converted to Eclipse format by connecting them to an existing Eclipse frame port and using the Eclipse firmware updater program. The two formats are not compatible and therefore the M+3 panel will not handshake to the Eclipse frame port.
In order to "convert" a M+3 panel to Eclipse format the M+3 panel will need to have the following done:
1. Replace the existing M+3 EPEOM with an Eclipse formatted EPROM
or
2. Use an existing Matrix +3 frame and a customized M+3 firmware updater (available by request from Clear-Com technical support) to convert the panel to Ecllipse format
