Step 2: Changing to the LAN Connection

Disconnect the USB cable, and then connect the machine to the computer using a LAN cable.

  • Prepare a LAN cable (Category 5 or higher) separately.
  • We recommend 100BASE-TX for the Ethernet.
IMPORTANT
  • Do not bind the LAN cable with the cable clamp.
  • Wire the LAN cable so that it does not come into contact with the USB cable or power cord. These cables coming into contact with the LAN cable may result in communication errors due to electrical noise.
Procedure
  1. Disconnect the USB cable.

    Remove the USB cable from the cable clamp ().

  2. Attach the ferrite core () to the LAN cable.

    The distance between the LAN cable connector and the ferrite core should be 30 mm (1.18 in.) or less ().

  3. Connect the LAN cable to the machine.
    • Connecting the machine and the computer directly
      MEMO

      If you use a crossover cable, you can connect the machine and the computer directly.

      In addition, if the computer supports AUTO MDI/MDI-X, a direct connection to the machine is possible when using a straight cable.

    • Connecting in a 1-to-1 manner through a LAN hub ()
      IMPORTANT

      Do not connect any device other than the machine and a computer to the LAN hub.

      Do not connect any device other than the designated machine and a computer to the LAN hub being used here. Connecting any other device will prevent the settings from being configured correctly and may cause problems with the network settings of connected devices.

    • Connecting to an Existing LAN Environment

      The following figure shows an example of a LAN (Local Area Network) configuration. With the Internet line received by a router (), multiple machines and computers can share the network through a LAN hub ().
