Technical Reference

Ethernet Interface

The Ethernet Interface is intended for operation with a host
computer. It provides the advantages of a standard interface, long
cable runs, use over private/public/wired/wireless networks, the
ability of being shared among computers and the ability to work
with any platform that supports TCP/IP.

The Ethernet interface in the Eclipse SX is a standard auto
switching 10baseT/100baseTX, twisted pair interface with an RJ-
45 connector. Use a straight through cable to connect the Eclipse
SX to an Ethernet hub or switch. Use a crossover cable to connect
the Eclipse SX directly to a host computer.
Power
The Eclipse SX requires a 12 volt DC power supply capable of
delivering at the minimum, 5 amps. The unit comes with a powe
supply (JLCooper part number 561024-3). If you need a power
supply specific to your location, please contact your local
distributor or JLCooper Electronics.

Warning: using a power supply other than, the unit specified could
result in damage to the Eclipse SX and/or other equipment, which is
not covered by the JLCooper Factory Warranty.

Troubleshooting

If for some reason the Eclipse SX does not give you the expected
results, take a moment to do some investigating. The most
important concept is that you have your Eclipse SX connected
properly as outlined in Installation and Use. Take a moment to
double check your setup.

A common problem is forgetting to turn the power switch on or
turning the unit on after the software application has launched.
