The RLY-6 and GPI-6 cards connect to the GPI/RLY interface

connector using shielded category-5 cable. For more information about

the GPI-6 and RLY-6 cards, consult their respective manuals.

Note: If this port is used a ferrite must be added to the socket end

of the cable. A suitable ferrite is Würth Electronik part:

74271132.

Note: A shielded cable should be used.

LINKING TO A SECOND ECLIPSE-32 MATRIX

Shielded category-5 (CAT-5) cable is connected from the “base loop”

socket of one Eclipse-32 matrix to the “base loop” socket of a second

Eclipse-32 matrix to form one non-blocking 64-port Eclipse matrix

system. The cable connecting the two matrices can be up to 1 meter

(3.28 feet) long.

The link is activated the from the “My Systems” screen in the Eclipse

Configuration System.

Note: To transfer data between two linked E-32 matrices using the

high-speed link the Ethernet ports must be connected with

either a cross-over shielded CAT-5 cable or a with a hub or

switch using conventional shielded CAT-5 cable.

CONNECTING TO A LOCAL AREA NETWORK

The RJ-45 socket labeled “LAN” connects a local area network (LAN)

to the Eclipse-32 matrix through a standard Ethernet connection.

Note: If this port is used a ferrite must be added to the socket end

of each cable. A suitable ferrite is Würth Electronik part:

74271132.

Note: A shielded CAT-5 cable should be used.
