Chapter 4. Integration
This chapter explains how you can make Eddy to communicate. It deals with LAN and pin header connection
guides for Eddy to operate together with the target serial device.
Follow these steps to connect Eddy to the device and network.
4.1 Connection Guide
1) WAN/LAN
In order to connect Eddy to network, you need to use RJ45 Ethernet port. It supports both 10Mbps and 100M
bps Ethernet connection (auto-sensing). Since Eddy’s LAN port supports MDIX function, you can either conne
ct cross LAN cable or direct LAN cable. Plug one end of a LAN cable to Eddy and the other end to a hub, s
witch, or any other network device that can provide you with network access.
2) DB9
For the model included a DB9 serial port, you can simply connect Eddy to the destination serial device with a
DB9 cable. For pin specifications, please refer to Chapter 3.
3) MCI slot
MMC and SDCards excepting T-Flash, Micro SD, and SDHC can be used through MCI slot. It provides Maxim
um 2 GBytes. Please note that MCI and SDCard must be inserted before power is induced to Eddy module.
2) USB Host
An USB memory stick or USB hub can be attached to Eddy-S2M/PIN module’s USB host port. For an USB
Hub it should have own power.
4.2 First-time Bootup
First of all, please make sure the power input you supply to the module is corresponding with the Eddy model
that you have. If an appropriate power input has been successfully supplied, Eddy will power on and start bo
oting.
Although there is no power LED to check the status, you can check by LEDs on the RJ45 Ethernet port. LED
status operation is described in
Chapter 3. Hardware Description.
An IP address is required to access Eddy’s web interface or telnet command-line configuration tool. By factor
y default, Eddy is assigned a static IP address. After the initial connection, you can either manually assign a dif
ferent IP address or set Eddy to automatically get an IP address from a DHCP server. While this depends on
your network environment and policy, it is strongly recommended that you assign Eddy with a unique static IP.
