Finding the Controller's MAC Address
There are two methods to connect to the controller: wired (Ethernet connection) or wireless (with the ECLYPSE Wi-Fi Adapter).
Wired Connection
Network connections can be daisy-chained.

Communications Wiring
By default, Bridge mode is enabled for the Primary and Secondary Ethernet ports and disabled for the Subnet-IP (Auxiliary) port. When ports are
bridged, the controllers connected to these ports are part of the same network, and a fail-safe relay automatically relays communication across the
bridged ports in the event of power loss.
You can disable the Bridge to isolate ports and create separate networks. However, this will also disable the fail-safe relays between these ports.
You can configure the Bridge between ports in the controller's Web interface or in Xpress Network Utility. For more information on configuring the con-
troller's Network settings, refer to the ECLYPSE Building Intelligence and XpressNetwork Utility User Guides.
Wireless Connection
To enable the controller to wirelessly communicate on a Wi-Fi network, connect an ECLYPSE Wi-Fi adapter (sold separately) to one of the controller's
USB (Host) ports. The USB cable provided with the ECLYPSE Wi-Fi Adapter measures approximately 4.9ft (1.5m). If you are using another USB cable,
make the cable's length does not exceed 6.6ft (2m).
Once the ECLYPSE Wi-Fi Adapter has been connected to the controller, a Wi-Fi hotspot becomes available that allows 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 hexadecimal characters of the con-
troller's MAC address (see above). The default password for the wireless network is: eclypse1234
