Introduction
Arcadia supports HelixNet wired partyline intercom, including the HRM-4X remote station, the HKB-2X speaker station and the HXII-BP beltpack. To do this, Arcadia channels must be enabled for HelixNet. HelixNet user stations connect to Arcadia via an ethernet network and HelixNet keysets can be assigned to any HelixNet enabled channel in the Arcadia system. Each HelixNet enabled channel requires an Arcadia licensed port.
HelixNet wired beltpacks, remote stations and speaker stations are connected to the Arcadia Station on the LAN port that is configured for the HelixNet network (default LAN 1) via an Ethernet network.
| Note: | Arcadia's HelixNet network is combined with the Management network and cannot be separated at the time of writing. |
| Note: | When using an IEEE-802.3af compliant PoE switch, be sure to note the switch's power budget. Each HXII-BP-X4 requires 4 Watts of power. The HRM-4X and the HKB-2X each require 15.4 Watts of power from the switch. Do not exceed the power budget of the switch when attaching devices. |
| Note: | You can enable up to 24 channels for HelixNet. How many channels you use is limited by how many port licenses you have. One HelixNet enabled channel consumes one port license. |
| Note: | HelixNet connectivity in Arcadia is channel based only. There are no direct/point-to-point connections available for assignment to HelixNet keysets. |
| Note: | HelixNet should be listed in the CCM under Hardware>Host. If it is not listed and your device is manufactured before June 1st 2022 it may require a HelixNet activation license. Please contact Clear-Com Sales for further information. |
