Matrix: How many ports does the E-QUE Splitter card take?

Owned by Administrator
Apr 06, 2019
In ECS when a E-QUE card is set to E-QUE-splitter mode, ECS adds an E-Que card into the matrix setup with ten antenna ports configured. Each antenna uses six matrix ports (five ports are used for beltpack comms, one port is for antenna to matrix comms- the back haul channel). The hardware table shows the first beltpack port number for each antenna rather than the E-Que port number. Therefore the first antenna is shown as port 1 (the first beltpack port) and the second antenna is shown as port 7 (previous first port number plus six), since beltpack ports 1-6 are on the first antenna. This is repeated for successive antennae.  This will allocate up to 60 antenna ports for the E-QUE splitter enabled CellCom Integra card.  When an E-QUE cards is set into splitter mode then the 10x antennas are connected via 2x splitter ports  port 1 and 5 on the E-QUE rear card. The splitter unit has to be locally powered. The antennas can be either powered over the line (CAT5) from the splitter unit or locally powered. In the ECS setup matrix hardware screen the following settings are available.Port FunctionThis is always set to “Antenna”. Talk LabelThis is used to identify the E-Que antenna port but is not used toassign talk paths. Listen LabelThis is used to identify the E-Que antenna port but is not used toassign listen paths. DescriptionAn optional description for the port of up to 255 characters long.
