Clear-Com

Clear-Com FreeSpeak II

Controls and monitors a Clear-Com FreeSpeak II base station (FSII-BASE-II) through the same interface the CCM web page uses. You get live beltpack tallies, battery/signal status, call signals, remote mic kill, role changes, base port routing and GPOs.

Setup

1. Enter the base IP address or hostname. No username or password is needed (see Security below).
2. Leave Device ID at 1 unless your base is part of a linked system.

Targeting beltpacks by role

Actions and feedbacks target roles (e.g. "Camera 5"), not physical packs. A button follows whoever is using the role, even when crew swap packs. Each dropdown also lists physical packs (Pack FSII-BP-12345) for spares with no meaningful role.

You can select several roles at once. You can also type names into Or by name (comma separated role labels, pack labels or pack ids). This field accepts variables and expressions.

Actions

Action	Notes
Call signal: role / pack	Pulse, on, off or toggle. Optional call text
Call signal: whole channel	Calls every pack and 2W/4W port on a partyline
Remote mic kill: role / pack	Turns off the talk keys on the selected packs
Remote mic kill: all packs	Must be enabled in the connection settings
Change pack role	Learn fills in the pack's current role
Route base port to channel	Join, leave or toggle a partyline for a 2W, 4W or station port
Call signal: base port	Call signal out of a 2W/4W port
Set base GPO	Force on/off, toggle, or release back to automatic

Reboot, reset, firmware and configuration editing are deliberately not included.

Feedbacks

• Role / pack is talking (any key or a specific key), is online, has a call active, battery or link quality below a threshold. Each one takes any mix of roles and packs, and is true if any of them match. Stack them on a button (e.g. grey = offline via inverted "is online", orange = low battery, amber = calling, red = talking).
• Channel: someone is talking / calling. Base port is routed to a channel.
• Any online pack below a battery threshold. Any expected role has no pack online.
• GPI / GPO state, connected to the base.

Variables

Variables use numeric ids, so renaming a role in CCM does not break your buttons.

• Per role (r<roleId>_...): label, pack, online, battery, time_left, rssi, link, talking (e.g. 1,R = key A and reply), antenna
• Per channel (ch<connectionId>_...): label, talkers, talk_count, members
• System: base_state, base_uptime, base_version, packs_online, packs_total, low_battery_list, offline_list, last_caller, last_call_channel, last_call_time, gpi<n>, gpo<n>

Security

The base's control interface has no authentication. Anyone who can reach it on port 80 can do everything this module does: kill mics, send call signals, change roles and reroute ports. Keep the base on an isolated production network, and only run Companion on machines that are allowed to control it.

"Remote mic kill: all packs" is off by default, so a stray button press cannot mute the whole crew. Turn it on in the connection settings if you need it.
