The Eclipse24 can have a variety of interface options. Among
these are:
• Built In Ethernet Interface
• MCS-3000 Series RS-422 Card #920465
• MCS-3000 Series RS-232 Card #920466
Built In 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.
To use the Ethernet Interface, the software application MUST be
written to specifically support the Ethernet Interface. Consult your
software’s users documentation for details on how to configure the
software.
To configure the Eclipse24 Ethernet settings, an Ethernet Interface
card must be in slot 1. You can verify this by visually checking
slot 1 for the presence of an Ethernet card.
To set the IP address, press Page4 + Page6 to access the
configuration page. Follow the display prompts to configure the
Ethernet settings.
Use the Bank buttons to enter the numeric buttons. Use Bank 10
for zero.
The Enter and Clear buttons enter or clear the value respectively.
Note: You must power cycle the Eclipse24 for the Ethernet settings to take effect.
