Solution

Set the ethernet settings on your Eclipse BTX and PC to work
together.

For example, with the Eclipse BTX factory defaults of:

IP Address

192.168.254.101

Subnet Mask

255.255.255.0

Set your PC ethernet settings to:

IP Address

192.168.254.nnn

Subnet Mask

255.255.255.0

nnn is anything except 101


Note: You can verify that the computer can communicate with the
Eclipse BTX by pinging the Eclipse BTX. In Windows, click Start |

ping 192.168.254.101

. If everything is configured

correctly, the Eclipse BTX will reply.
