LQ to HelixNet Connectivity

LQ 4.0 and above.

HelixNet 4.0 and above.

Linking one ore more LQ units to a HelixNet Main Station (HMS) in a Link-Group is a way of greatly increasing the number of I/O interfaces available in your HelixNet intercom system.

The HelixNet Main Station must be the Link Master in any Link-Group. A HelixNet device cannot be a Link Member.

Linking HelixNet and LQ also brings virtual client, SIP and Eclipse (E-IPA/IVC) connectivity into your HelixNet system.

HelixNet/LQ Link-Group

Once an LQ unit is linked to an HMS in a Link-Group, all ports on the LQ unit are visible in the CCM and available to be placed in a HelixNet Channel. Once a port is in a Channel, audio from that port can be routed anywhere within the system.

Connecting an HMS and an LQ unit also brings the possibility of virtual client, SIP and IVC connectivity into your HelixNet intercom system (according to license for virtual clients and SIP).

Note: A HelixNet/LQ Link-Group supports up to 3 linked Main Stations and up to 3 linked LQ units (to a maximum of 6 devices in total).
Note: The HMS must always be the Link-Master in a HelixNet/LQ Link-Group.

The following limitations are imposed when LQ devices are linked to a HelixNet Link-Group:

  • No creation or use of Direct Connections

  • No interconnection of Clear-Com panels over 4-wire

  • No SIP hangup capability through the HMS Front panel

  • No Internet connection between LQ units.
Note: If you upgrade your HelixNet system when you have a Link-Group set up, the linking status will be reset and you will need to re-establish the Link-Group.
