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
powered by EAGLE. In this chapter we will see how to remotely switch on the EAGLE (and all the powered devi-
ces) 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
installed 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 sy-
stem.
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”, 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 57).
