model/communication settings.
2.5.2. Connect your driver and computer using Ethernet
The RJ-45 connector on the EP series driver is a 100BASE-TX (100Mbps)
compliant interface that can be connected using a standard network cable. Please use
CAT5 or CAT5e (or higher) network cable.
Connecting the driver to the computer involves three steps:
Step 1: Connect the driver to your network from the physical layer
(1) Connection method 1: Connect the driver to your LAN(local area network).
If you have a spare port attached to a switch or router, you can set the driver's IP
address and be compatible with your network, which is an easy way to connect. This
technique also allows you to connect multiple drivers to your computer.
(2) Connection method 2: Connect the driver to your computer
The specific operation is: connect one end of the network cable to the network
card of the computer, and the other end to the driver.
Step 2: Set the IP address of the driver
Every device on an Ethernet network must have a unique IP address. If two
devices need to communicate with each other, they must both be connected to the
network, and both must have IP addresses under the same subnet. A Subnet is a
logical partition in a large network. Devices on one subnet cannot generally
communicate with devices on another subnet unless they are connected through
special network devices (such as routers). A subnet consists of a selected IP address
and a subnet mask.
If you want to know your computer's IP address and subnet mask, select
Start...Run. Then enter "cmd", then enter "ipconfig /all" and press Enter. You should
see something like Figure 2-8 below:
