Connecting EDR to EIM with Ethernet

Instead of using RS-485, the EDR can be connected to the EIM with an ethernet cable.

If an ethernet switch is not present:  Use a crossover ethernet cable between the EDR and EIM

If an ethernet switch is present: Use 2 normal ethernet cables from the switch to each the EDR and EIM

EIM Setup
