GPI-6 interface in an IMF-102 interface module frame
Connecting a GPI-6 interface that is placed in an IMF-102 interface frame is the
same as connecting a GPI-6 interface placed in an IMF-3 interface frame. The only
difference is that an IMF-102 houses only two interfaces, which are mounted
horizontally rather than vertically in the frame.
Note:
For more detailed information, see the individual documentation for these interfaces
and frames, and the Eclipse HX Matrix Installation Guide.
EHX configuration
Use the EHX configuration software to associate a relay to a label. For more
information, see your EHX documentation (including EHX Help).
Connecting to another Eclipse HX-PiCo (PiCo-Link)
You can create one non-blocking 64 port Eclipse HX system by connecting two
Eclipse HX-PiCo matrix frames (matrices) together, using the PiCo-Link RJ-45
connectors on the matrices.
To make this connection, use a specially constructed screened CAT-5 cable of
maximum length 1 meter (3.28 feet). The cable is wired as shown in Table 11
below.

Table 11: CAT-5 crossover cable pinout
To transfer data between two linked Eclipse HX-PiCo matrices using the PiCo-Link
also requires that the Ethernet ports are connected with either a cross-over
shielded CAT-5 cable or a hub or switch using conventional shielded CAT-5 cable.
Connecting to a LAN (Local Area Network)
The LAN connector on the Eclipse HX-PiCo has standard Ethernet pin assignments:
