Connecting the Matrix to an Ethernet Network

To connect a matrix to an Ethernet network (WAN / LAN), use:

  • The LAN1 connector (a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connector) on the rear of an Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-Median or Eclipse HX-Delta matrix.

    Note: LAN1 is the default connector on the Eclipse HX-Omega / Eclipse HX-Median / Eclipse HX-Delta matrix . The LAN2 connector (which is also a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connector) is not configured when it leaves the factory and must be enabled in EHX before it can be used.

  • The LAN connector (a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connector) on the rear of the Eclipse HX-PiCo.

For Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-Median and Eclipse HX-PiCo, a ferrite core must be added to the socket end of each Ethernet cable to comply with European EMC standards. A suitable ferrite core is Würth Electronik part 74271132.

Shielded CAT5 cable is recommended for Electro Magnetic Compliance in EC countries.
