Assembly Stage 6: Connect the Ethernet Cable
Muse software is browser-based, which means there is nothing to download. With any Mac or
PC, you only need an internet browser (such as Google Chrome) to access the latest version of
RetinaEngrave 2.0. The easiest method is to connect the Ethernet cable that came with your Muse.
1. Identify the Ethernet Cable: Locate and remove the included Ethernet cable
from its packaging.
2. Plug Ethernet Cable into Laser Cutter: Plug in the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet
slot on the Muse.
3. Plug Ethernet Cable into Computer: Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into your
computer’s Ethernet slot.
4. Connect Via Router (Recommended): Router connectivity is more reliable than
directly connecting via Ethernet and should be the primary way of connecting. Direct connect from
laser to computer should be a secondary choice, if possible. If direct connecting to router is not
available (i.e. due to location of router) then we recommend using an Ethernet to Wi-Fi adapter
that is connected to the router. If both of those are not possible then direct connection to computer
can be utilized via the Ethernet cable.
PRO TIP! Muse can connect to your computer via either Ethernet
or USB (but not both simultaneously). Full Spectrum includes an
Ethernet cable in the laser accessories and recommends the use
of Ethernet cables as USB is more prone to electrical interference.
ATTENTION! Your laser must be connected to your computer
in order to download jobs. The laser can store jobs in its onboard
memory while powered, however loss of power will cause stored
jobs to be lost. If you purchase and install a USB device, you can
download jobs to your laser and run them without a computer
attached (however you will not be able to alter the job settings
from the laser control panel). Because a USB device is not volatile
memory, jobs are stored between power cycles.
PRO TIP! If your laser is located more than 6ft from your
computer, you will need to use the Ethernet connection.
Connecting via Ethernet while the power is on requires you to
power cycle your machine in order to obtain an IP address.
