GPI-6 interface in an IMF-102 interface module frame
Connecting a GPI-6 interface that is placed in an IMF-102 interface frame is the same as
connecting a GPI-6 interface placed in an IMF-3 interface frame. The only difference is that an
IMF-102 interface frame houses only two interfaces, which are mounted horizontally rather than
vertically in the frame.
Tip:
For more detailed information, see the individual documentation for these interfaces and
frames, and the Eclipse HX Matrix Installation Guide.
EHX configuration
Use the EHX configuration software to associate a relay to a label. For more information, see
your EHX documentation (including EHX Help).
4.5.7 Connecting to another Eclipse HX-PiCo (PiCo-Link)
You can create one non-blocking 64 port Eclipse HX system by connecting two Eclipse HX-
PiCo matrices together, using the PiCo-Link RJ-45 connectors on the matrices.
To make this connection, use a specially constructed screened CAT-5 cable of maximum length
1 meter (3.28 feet). The cable is wired as shown in Table 11: CAT-5 crossover cable pinout.

Table 11: CAT-5 crossover cable pinout
To transfer data between two linked Eclipse HX-PiCo matrices using the PiCo-Link also requires
that the Ethernet ports are connected with either a cross-over shielded CAT-5 cable or a hub or
switch using conventional shielded CAT-5 cable.
