Connecting the CNC to a Network
To attach the CNC to the network:
1. Create a user account on your network file server (Windows Server ). You will need to set up:
a. The user name, for example: operator.
b. The password for the new user name, for example: 1234
2. Attach the keyboard and mouse to the controller, and plug the fiber optic card into the fiber-to-
copper converter box, if the fiber connection is to be used.
3. Connect the LAN cable to the network connector on the converter box or to the CNC, as
appropriate.
4. Turn on the power to the CNC.
The CNC will power up and be connected to the network. You will be logged into the CNC as the
administrator. This is not the same as being an administrator on the LAN. At this point the CNC is
attached to the network and has an address but is not logged into the LAN.
