The switch / router can be configured to send an email message when port blocking is disabled thus signaling that a net-
work wire has been cut.
Connecting the Network Cable to the Controller
To connect controllers to an Ethernet network and then discover them, see chapter First Time Connection to an ECLYPSE
Controller.
Wireless Network Connection
The ECLYPSE Wi-Fi adapter connects to an ECLYPSE controller’s USB port.

Recommendations are provided regarding the radio signal obstructions and factors that should be avoided to obtain the
best Wi-Fi radio signal transmission and reception. Walls attenuate radio wave propagation by an amount that varies with
the construction materials used. See Radio Signal Transmission Obstructions for more information on wall materials that can
reduce range transmission.
