Base Station system

Quick

Guide

Start

A FreeSpeak II (FS II) system consists of six main elements:

• Wireless beltpacks (FSII-BP-19, FSII-BP-24).

• The Base Station (FSII-BASE-II) that routes communication to and from the beltpacks and other

audio devices.

• A Core Configuration Manager (CCM) to quickly operate and configure your FS-II system.

• Antennas (FSII-TCVR-19, FSII-TCVR-24) that provide coverage zones in which the beltpacks

operate.

• Optional antenna splitters (PD2203 or FSII-SPLTR) that run up to 5 separate antennas.

• Suitable headsets such as the Clear-Com CC-300-X4.

Connecting the transceiver/antennas to the Base Station

To connect the antennas to the Base Station:

1) Clear-Com recommends using 4-pair shielded screened cable (CAT-5/5e/6) with RJ45 connectors to
connect the antennas to the Base Station. You can connect up to five antennas to each transceiver
port using an antenna splitter, or connect two antennas directly to the Base Station. The Base
Station can power a single antenna up to 984 ft (300 m) or multiple antennas up to a maximum of
2625 ft (800 m). See the User Guide for more information.

2) When the transceiver/antennas are connected, turn on the Base Station and wait for it to boot.

Accessing the CCM

To access the CCM, power the Base Station and use one of the LAN ports to connect it to a network. Find the
IP address of the Base Station in the front menu screens using the rotary controllers to navigate through the
menu system:

To open the CCM, enter the unit’s IP address into the URL field of a browser (PC, tablet or mobile).
This opens the CCM on the Overview page.

Note: Default user name and password: Admin, Admin.

Using the Beltpacks

The system arrives with a default audio set-up for five beltpacks (or 25 if licensed) and roles so the system
can simply be wired and powered for basic use. A role is a preset, editable configuration for a beltpack. The
default set-up has two Channels. Each channel talks to:

• All the beltpacks on that channel

• The head set on the Base Station.

To customize an audio channel configuration please refer to the FreeSpeak II User Guide.

(a) Connect the beltpack to the Base Station using the USB connector on the front panel.
