Clear-Com HXII-BP HelixNet 2-Channel Beltpack

The HelixNet HXII-BP beltpack is a two-channel intercom user station supported by the HMS-4X main station.

The beltpack provides two keysets assignable to any intercom channel and allows multiple channels to be uniquely stacked onto a keyset. The beltpack comes with a headset connection, independent Program Audio level control and a micro-USB Flasher connection to a third-party USB light.

• HelixNet System Hosts Arcadia:
  • Supports up to 64 HelixNet endpoints (HRM-4X, HKB-2X & HXII-BP) over Ethernet. Up to 24 Channels can be HelixNet Enabled using a Licensed Port for assignment to any HelixNet endpoints keyset. HMS-4X(3): Supports up to 64 endpoints (HRM-4X, HKB-2X, HBP-2X, HXII-BP, HLI-2W2, HLI-4W2, LQ port). User stations can connect via the 2 Powerlines (note power and data limits) or over Ethernet via optional HLI-ET2 module. HMS allows use of 12 channels which can be expanded to 24 using optional license.
