1 Introduction
HelixNet® Partyline is a digital intercom system that combines the simplicity and ease of use of
an analog partyline system with the quality and deployment flexibility of Ethernet networks.
User stations can be added to the system without configuration
lSimple and fast global web browser or front panel configuration
lAll HelixNet enabled partyline channels are available on every cable
lEasy integration with other 2-wire or 4-wire systems
lStandard Infrastructure:
lEthernet networks – PoE powered user stations
lXLR Cables – daisy changing and passively splitting
lDigital distribution for low noise floor
Note: Cabling for a HelixNet system should always be screened.
This guide helps you install, configure, and use the HelixNet Partyline system when used with
the Arcadia® Central Station.
HelixNet wired devices (beltpacks, remote stations and speaker stations) are connected to the
Arcadia Central Station on the LAN port that is being used for Admin (default LAN 1) using Cat
5, 5e or 6 Ethernet cable (RJ45).
They are connected to the same network as the PC hosting the configuration software. To
power the beltpacks, the network switch must carry Power over Ethernet (PoE).
An example of a HelixNet system connected to an Arcadia Central Station is given below.

HelixNet endpoints can operate using PoE. However, remote stations and speaker stations
should be powered locally with the PSU that is supplied with the device.
Note: When using an IEEE-802.3af compliant PoE switch, you must take into account the switch's
power budget. Each HXII-BP requires 4 Watts. The HRM-4X and the HKB-2X each require 13
Watts. Do not exceed the power budget of the switch when attaching devices.
Bear in mind the following:
lYou 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.
lHelixNet connectivity in Arcadia is currently channel based only. There are no
direct/point-to-point connections available.
lThe speaker station can be used with an S-Mount bracket or inside a NEMA standard 4-
gang wall box.
