Fiber Linking Interface
The HelixNet System
Effortless Management
HLI-FBS
Optional Accessories:
HLI-SMFO: Single-mode transceiver
HLI-MMFO: Multi-mode transceiver
With the HelixNet Firmware Release 4.2, the HelixNet Plug-and-Go IP Intercom System now has the elastic capacity to add stations dynamically without system interruption, hardware, or software pre-configuration. This update also enhances talker identification, allowing visual indication of active talkers on channels and selective tagging of important talkers with an automatic call signal, in addition to additional user station administrative functionality.
The HelixNet HLI-FBS fiber linking interface is a dual port Ethernet switch interface module with 100MB SFP connectors for the HMS-4X main station. The HLI-FBS 100MB SFP connectors can be populated with compatible single or multi-mode fiber transceivers.
The HelixNet IP networking guide provides specifications, best practices and guidance for the integration of HelixNet into an existing or new IP network.
