Advanced use: remotely turn on EAGLE with wired connection
EAGLE is designed to allow you, in a simple and fast way, to remotely control your telescope that is connected and powe-
red by EAGLE. In this chapter we will see how to remotely switch on the EAGLE (and then all the powered devices) setting
up a direct wired connection via a computer network cable to the EAGLE.
This methods involve the use of a cabled connection, and it is typically used to remotely control an entire telescope instal-
led at a fixed location (for example, on observatory of amateur astronomy association or in your back yard).
In this mode
you can turn on remotely EAGLE and then power the devices
. If you want to remotely control the EAGLE in a different
way than the one here described, please contact us and we will help you customize your system.
The simplest way of remote control is the wired one, with a direct connection from a
single computer to EAGLE. For this use, you will need a cross-type Ethernet network
cable to be connected to the EAGLE ethernet port and in the one of your control PC .
Then:
a) In EAGLE, select Start button
then click on Control Panel and
select “Network and sharing center”
b) Select “Change settings”, make a double click on the Ethernet connection
(image 38) and select “Details”.
c) A window with the details of the network connection will open
d) Write down the value for the “Physical Address” (image 39).
