CHAPTER 6
First Time Connection to an ECLYPSE Controller
This chapter describes how to get started with an ECLYPSE controller. This includes connecting to the factory-default IP
address to gain access to the controller’s configuration interfaces.
Connecting to the Controller
When connecting to the controller for the first time, the goal is to gain access to the controller so that you can configure it
to work in its future network environment. To do so, you must connect the controller to form a network.
The ECLYPSE Controller configuration can be made through the controller’s configuration Web interface that is accessed
either through a direct ethernet connection to a PC, or via Wi-Fi connection. This Web interface is used to set all the con-
troller’s configuration parameters including the controller’s IP address according to your network planning. See ECLYPSE
Web Interface.
There are two networking methods to connect to a controller:
£ Wired (Ethernet connection) with a PC.
£ Wireless (when the Wi-Fi Adapter is connected to the controller) with a PC. See Wi-Fi Network Connection.
Once you have connected the controller(s) to a network, configure the controller. See Configuring the Controller.
Controller Identification
Controllers are uniquely identified on the network by their MAC address. This identifier is printed on a label located on the
side of the controller and another is on the controller’s box. Get a printed copy of the building’s floor plan. During controller
installation, peel the MAC address sticker off of the controller’s box and put it on the floor plan where the controller has
been installed.
This MAC address is used as part of the controller’s factory-default Wi-Fi access point name and its hostname.

ID: MAC Address
Model: -S1000
For example, for a MAC Address of : 76:a5:04:cd:4a:d1
The factory-default name for the Wi-Fi access point is ECLYPSE- CD4AD1
The factory-default hostname is eclypse-cd4ad1.local
