8.2 Ethernet connection – via router
Follow the steps detailed below to enable control of your P550c system if your WinCan-enabled PC is
connected to your flexitrax P550c controller via a router.
1 Connect the flexitrax P550c controller to the router, and the router to the PC, with Ethernet cables.
Power up the router.
Note: For most set-ups, any good quality Ethernet cables are suitable, but using a crossover Ethernet
cable between the P550c controller and the router can help solve some connection issues, particularly
for older equipment.
2 From the P550c controller Start-up screen, select
Settings > Network > Ethernet settings
3 Set the IP assignment to Automatic.
4 Select Save & Exit to return to Network settings
5 Confirm that the Ethernet IP matches the new IP address on the P550c controller’s Ethernet settings
