Figure 3-1: Selecting a Serial or Ethernet Connection
Note: If the matrix connection type is changed between ethernet
and serial whilst a user is logged in (ECS in client/server
mode) the user will be logged out. The user will need to log
back in via the File menu to resume ECS operations.
ETHERNET CONNECTION
To establish the hardware connection on a network, an Ethernet
crossover cable should be connected from the LAN connection on the
PC to the LAN1 connector on the rear of the Eclipse frame. Otherwise
straight-through CAT5 cables can be used via a Switch.
Note: Where a linked set of matrices has been configured
ethernet switches rather than hubs should be used to
connect system components.
To establish communication between the PC and the Eclipse frame,
the PC and the frame must be on the same subnet. Therefore the PC
Administrator must set the IP address of the computer to the same
subnet as the Eclipse matrix. Windows provides many different
methods of reconfiguring network settings. The following is one
method:
1. From the Windows ‘Start’ menu, select ‘My Network Places’.
2. From the ‘Network’ task pane, click ‘View Network Connections’.
The ‘Network Connections’ dialog box appears.
Ethernet mode to complete
the configuration.
