The Clear-Com LQ-R2W4 Four-Channel Partyline IP Interface is a game - changer for audio connectivity. It allows partyline audio devices to connect over LAN, WAN, or Internet IP infrastructures, all neatly packed in a 1RU panel. LQ Series devices can link to Eclipse HX frames via the IVC - 32 - HX interface card. You can add Agent - IC mobile clients to Encore and HelixNet partyline systems or make SIP client connections over wireless networks. Connect up to 6 panels to form a standalone partyline intercom group. This interface is compatible with Clear - Com and RTS. Each port comes with Female and Male XLR connectors for easy loop - through.

Using the Clear - Com LQ - R2W4 is straightforward. First, decide on your power source. You can either use a DC power supply or PoE. Once powered, connect your partyline audio devices to the appropriate 3 - Pin XLR ports on the device. The Female and Male XLR connectors on each port allow for easy loop - through.
If you want to connect to an Eclipse HX frame, use the IVC - 32 - HX interface card. To add Agent - IC mobile clients to Encore and HelixNet partyline systems or make SIP client connections, follow the network setup guidelines in the manual. Remember, you need a license to support up to 8 SIP or Agent - IC clients per LQ device.
When it comes to network settings, you can adjust the bit rates, packet sizes, and jitter buffers according to your needs. Each port also has adjustable bandwidth, so you can fine - tune the audio quality.
For configuration, use the browser - based CCM configuration software on your PC, MAC, or tablet. This will help you set up the device according to your specific requirements.
Now, for some important notes. Make sure the operating temperature stays between + 32°F and + 104°F (0°C to + 40°C) and the storage temperature is between - 67°F and + 158°F (- 55°C to + 70°C). The humidity should be 90% non - condensing. Avoid exposing the device to extreme conditions.
For maintenance, keep the device clean and free from dust. Check the connectors regularly for any signs of wear or damage. If you have any issues, refer to the troubleshooting section in the manual or contact customer support.
