Enter an IP Address. Anything in the following ranges should work, although other
addresses may work also:

10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 through 172.31.0.0
192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.0

Enter a Subnet Mask. A value of 255.255.255.0 should work. Click Apply and write down
the IP Address and Subnet Mask.

Creating an IP Address for the Eclipse

Once you have obtained the Mac’s IP address and Subnet Mask you can choose a
unique address for the Eclipse. The easiest way to create a unique address for the
Eclipse is to use the first three number groups from the Mac’s IP Address then pick a
different number for the last group. So if the Mac’s address is 192.168.1.2, you could
use an address of 192.168.1.250 for the Eclipse. If there are other devices or computers
on your network, make sure that the address you have chosen does not conflict with
their addresses.

Assigning an IP Address to the Eclipse CX and Eclipse CX Midnight

To assign an IP Address to an Eclipse CX or Eclipse CX Midnight, press the Eclipse
SHIFT button and the ASSIGN button at the same time. This will display the hardware’s
current address. Type in the new unique address using the Eclipse keypad. NOTE: The
Eclipse expects IP addresses to be 12 digits, which means you can’t leave out the
leading zeros for any group of numbers. So if the address you are using is
192.168.1.250, then you would enter 192.168.001.250.

Once you have entered the address, hit the Eclipse ENTER button. The Eclipse will now
display the Gateway Address. You can accept the default value and just hit the ENTER
button again. The next screen is for the Subnet Mask. Enter the mask that you obtained
from the System Preferences, remembering to insert leading zeroes where needed, as
in 255.255.255.000.

Hit the ENTER button again to get to the Port screen. 23 is a good choice. Hit ENTER
one more time. You will see a screen telling you to turn off the Eclipse. Do so then turn it
back on.
