Ethernet Network Connection

Depending on the controller model, the way the controller is connected to the network will change according to whether the
controller is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) model or not.
For non-PoE controller models, see
£
See also Connecting IP Devices to an IP Network for network wiring considerations.

Network Connections for ECLYPSE Controllers

Connect the controller to the network as follows:
1. Connect your PC's network card to the controller's PRI Ethernet port using a Category 5e Ethernet cable.
If you are commissioning more than one controller, connect the controllers and PC to a network switch. Two or more con-
trollers can be connected to the network by daisy-chaining them together by using Cat 5e network Cables to connect the
Ethernet Switch Sec(ondary) connector of one controller to the Ethernet Switch Pri(mary) connector of the next controller.
Figure 27: nLight ECLYPSE Wired Network Connection: Cat 5e Cables with RJ-45 Connectors are used
2. Connect power to the controller(s). See the controller's Hardware Installation Guide for how to do so.

Wi-Fi Network Connection

Once the ECLYPSE Wi-Fi Adapter has been connected to a powered controller, a Wi-Fi hotspot becomes available that al-
lows you to connect to the controller's configuration Web interface with your PC.
On your PC's wireless networks, look for an access point named ECLYPSE-XXYYZZ where XXYYZZ are the last 6 hexa-
decimal characters of the controller's MAC address.
To find the controller's MAC address, see
eclypse1234.
Either of the controller's two USB HOST ports can be used to connect the wireless adapter.
