FreeSpeak Edge Base Station
FSE-BASE
Includes:
(1) Four-Wire PGM/SA Breakout Cable
(CAB-RJ45-PGM-SA)
(1) External PSU (PSU-EXT-001)
The FreeSpeak Edge base station is a standalone 1RU device that provides extensive connectivity to a wide range of Clear-Com endpoints along with third-party Dante devices. Built primarily to deploy digital audio connections and IP transceivers, the base station also provides support to FreeSpeak II and Edge beltpacks, 1.9 GHz E1 and IP transceivers*, and 2.4 GHz E1 transceivers.
Please refer to the Clear-Com AoIP Network Recommendations guide for additional switch settings and network characteristics.
*Note: A 1.9 GHz beltpack cannot roam between and E1 1.9 GHz transceiver and an IP 1.9 GHz transceiver. Beltpacks on each system can communicate through the base station.
Beltpacks per Base Station: 16 BPs (FSII or FSE)
