1) If you haven’t yet installed you HLI-2W2 2wire interface module into one of the three slots on you HMS-4X HelixNet master station, first remove the power cord from the master station and remove the blank plate from any open slot.
2) Then insert the HLI-2W2 module into that slot on the backplane of the HMS-4X. Once all modules you require are in place, reinsert the HMS-4X’s power cord and confirm it starts up. After Station boot-up, the HMS-4X might up or downgrade the newly inserted module. If that’s required, the HMS-4X will take care of all that automatically, so if you see that UPDATE message on the screens, allow the base a few minutes to complete this task.
3) Connect a mic cable from the Analog Party Line channel that you want to connect to the HelixNet system by inserting the other end of the cable you plugged in from the analog channel into the “A” port on the back of the HLI-2W2 2wire interface module.
+++ NOTE: If you are attaching your HelixNet to an RTS Analog 2wire system, and the XLR is carrying two channels of PL, then remember to select RTS AUDIO PIN 2 or PIN3, depending on which of the two PL channels from the XLR you want to inject into that HelixNet channel. And remember, that in RTS MODE, you plug your XLR into the "A" side of the module, but that 3pin XLR copies itself to the "B" side to facilitate the capture of both pins of the two RTS channels carried on the XLR cable. +++
4) Then push the MENU button on the left-hand side of the base station. Using the knob just to the right of that far left screen, Scroll down to MODULE SETTINGS. In the next window (to the right of the far-left window), rotate the knob until you see the 2wire module and port that you plugged the XLR cable from the Analog channel. If, for example, you put the HLI-2W2 into the first slot (farthest to the left of the three), then you’d be looking for “SLOT 1/PORT A 2W” in that 2nd screen.
5) The next screen to the right should display CHANNEL ASSIGN. If it does not, then scroll the knob just to the right of the third screen until it does show CHANNEL ASSIGN. And then, on the farthest right window, scroll (using the knob just to the right of that screen) to the HelixNet channel you want to associate with the Analog Channel that you have brought into the system.
6) Once the system is configured as you like it, you’ll have to NULL the system. This aligns both systems to work efficiently. You get best results by making sure all TALK buttons are not latched or engaged on all products on all the analog and the HelixNet systems.
7) Go again to the MENU and to MODULE SETTINGS. Again, selecting the Slot and Port you assigned and now scroll down from CHANNEL ASSIGN to AUTO-NULLING. Then, on the farthest right window, push in the knob to start the AUTO-NULLING. This will display “NULLING…” until the auto-nulling is complete.
Once complete, you are ready to enjoy your system.
