Eclipse |Upgrade Guide
2Introduction
This guide describes how to upgrade from ECS v5.2.5 to Eclipse HX v9.1, a
software release for the Clear-Com Eclipse HX™digital matrix system
(standalone or networked). This guide additionally identifies the simpler upgrade
from v7.x/v8.x/v9.0 to v9.1.
The system components covered by the guide include (but are not limited to):
•Matrices (Eclipse HX-PiCo, Eclipse HX-Delta, Eclipse HX-Median and Eclipse
HX-Omega)
•Interface cards (E-FIB, E-QUE, MVX-A16, E-MADI64, LMC-64, and others)
•Interface modules (AES-6, TEL-14 and others)
•User panels (V-series and i-Station panels)
Important note:
Eclipse HX upgrades must be performed by a technically qualified engineer.
2.1 Planning the upgrade to Eclipse HX
Before you start upgrading your Eclipse (ECS v5.2.5 or EHX v7x/v8.x/v9.0) system
components to Eclipse HX v9.1 ensure that you have:
•Sufficient spare (replacement) cards, interfaces or panels for the upgrade.
•Scheduled enough time to complete the upgrade, or if required, roll back
the upgrade to the version that was running before the upgrade.
•A suitable backup system is in place to maintain service, if your intercom
system is part of a mission critical or sensitive application.
You should also be aware that:
•The order in which you carry out the upgrade is important. The chapters of
this guide are laid out in the order that your system components should be
upgraded.
Tip: For a quick reference to the upgrade procedures you require, and the
order in which they should be carried out, see chapter 3Quick reference:
Upgrading to Eclipse HX.
•If you are upgrading V-Series panels, you may have to upgrade each V-
Series panel individually by connecting it directly to a PC.
•Upgrading the matrices in a networked (linked) system should take place
at the same time, because the data sent between networked matrices can
change.
When upgrading networked (linked) matrices, Clear-Com recommends that you:

Eclipse |Upgrade Guide
Page 9
•Upgrade only one CPU card in each matrix first and then perform the rest
of the system upgrade (interface cards, user panels, and so on) afterwards.
•Upgrade the remaining CPU cards in the matrices only when the upgrade
has been completed and tested across the full system. Leaving the
remaining CPU cards until last gives you the capability of quickly rolling
back to the previously running version, if any mission critical issues are
encountered. NOTE –When the second card is upgraded retrospectively as
described it needs to be placed in the frame without the other CPU card in
place. This is because CPU cards only exchange data as a master/slave pair
when both cards are already running the same firmware. Once both cards
are upgraded insert both cards and re-download the frame configuration.
•Great care must be taken when opening the lid of the Eclipse HX-PiCo
matrix to upgrade components. This may invalidate UL status.
Remove power from the device first, to avoid working with
the system while it is live. Observe all electrical shock
hazard warning and precautions for handling electrostatic
sensitive devices
2.1.1 Client / Server installations
When upgrading Client / Server installations from ECS v5.2.5 or EHX
v7.x/v8.x/v9.0 to Eclipse HX v9.1, you must:
•Use the EHX v9.1 Server Installer only on the PC that is to be the EHX
Server. The EHX v9.1 server installer will automatically update your IIS
and configure it to work with Eclipse HX v9.1.
•Use the standard combined EHX/Dynam-EC 9.1 Client Installer on all the
Client PCs. The Server PC can also act as a client.
You should check that you have the appropriate IIS and .Net Windows components
installed prior to installing the EHX Server. Please refer to the Initial Setup section
of the Client/Server chapter in the EHX User Guide for a complete list of the
components required for each version of Windows.
Note: Installing an EHX Server is an advanced workflow - please contact Clear-Com
Support for advice before attempting to install an EHX Server.
Before upgrading your EHX Server installation, Clear-Com strongly recommends
that you export any existing projects (using File->Export from an EHX Client) and
backup your users list (using the Export command in the User Management
screen). It is recommended that you uninstall your existing EHX Server before
installing the newer version.

Eclipse |Upgrade Guide
Page 10
2.1.2 Roll back strategy
You should not encounter any mission critical issues when upgrading to Eclipse HX
v9.1. However, if you decide to roll back the system to the previously running
version, then you must:
•Allow adequate time for the roll back operation.
•Roll back all system components to the same baseline version.
Temporary roll back strategy
If you want to roll back to the previously running version for a temporary period
only, before making another attempt to upgrade to Eclipse HX v9.1, then you may
implement the following temporary roll back strategy:
1) Leave all cards and panels at Eclipse HX v9.1
2) Roll back the matrix CPU card to run at the previously running version.
3) Re-install the previous running version of ECS/EHX and import your old
configurations.
Caution:
The above strategy is a temporary solution only. Eclipse HX v9.1 configurations will
not import or work with a CPU card at ECS v5.2.5 or EHX v7.x/v8.x/v9.0 If you
want to run the previously running system software for an extended period, Clear-
Com recommends rolling back all system components to the same baseline version.

System Drivers Upgrade Media
The System Drivers upgrade media contains the latest firmware for your Eclipse HX
devices, including Boot PROM and FPGA / CPLD code files for Eclipse HX matrices,
interface cards, interface modules and supported panels (i-Station and V-Series
panels). You must upgrade to the latest firmware when upgrading to Eclipse HX
v9.1.
The System Drivers USB also includes the third party software that may be used
during upgrades.
Software USB
The Software USB contains:
•The EHX configuration software, which is used to manage and configure
your Eclipse HX devices.
•Dynam-EC,which provides fast, intuitive audio routing control for your
Eclipse HX system.
•A full set of Eclipse HX documentation, including release notes and user
guides.
•The application code files for your Eclipse HX matrices.
The Software USB also includes the third party software that may be used during
upgrades.
You must upgrade to the latest application code files when upgrading to Eclipse HX
v9.1. You require both sets of upgrade media to complete a full upgrade to Eclipse
HX v9.1.
Tip: You can find user documentation, brochures and summary information for all
Clear-Com’s products (including the Eclipse and Eclipse HX systems), on the Clear-
Com website at: http://www.clearcom.com/support/user-manuals.
A number of upgrade procedures, require the use of a TFTP Server. One is supplied
on the USB, but you can use any compatible TFTP Server.
2.1.4 Fitting the Eclipse HX door panel
To enable you to change the branding of Eclipse Median and Eclipse Omega
matrices that have been upgraded to Eclipse HX, Clear-Com provides an Eclipse HX
door panel kit.
The figures that illustrate the procedure below feature an Eclipse Median matrix.
However, the procedure is also applicable to Eclipse Omega matrices.
Tip: For more information about fitting the Eclipse HX door panel to your upgraded
Eclipse Median and Eclipse Omega matrices, see the Eclipse Matrix Door
Replacement Instructions, included with your kit.
To replace the Eclipse branded door with the Eclipse HX door:

6) Open the door. Insert the latch (a separate item from the door unit) into
the latch receptacle on the chassis.
The latch receptacle is located to the bottom left of the area enclosed by
the door.
Note:
Leave the white plastic protector on the latch when you insert the latch into the
receptacle.

7) To expose the adhesive surface of the latch, remove the green film from
the back of the latch.
8) Close the door. Press down firmly on the bottom left of the door, so that
the latch adheres firmly to the latch-mount surface inside the door.
