KeyShot Series Ethernet Interface Card
The Ethernet Interface is intended for operation with a host
computer. It provides the advantages of a standard interface, long
cable runs, use over private/public/wired/wireless networks, the
ability of being shared among computers and the ability to work
with any platform that supports TCP/IP.
To use the Ethernet Interface, the software application MUST be
written to specifically support the Ethernet Interface. Consult your
software’s users documentation for details on how to configure the
software to operate with the KeyShot or RackShot.
To configure the KeyShot or RackShot Ethernet settings, an
Ethernet Interface card must be installed. You can verify this by
visually checking the slot for the presence of an Ethernet card. To
set the IP address, use the provided Lantronix XPort Installer and
Redirector utility.
Note: Do not use this driver concurrently with the USB Virtual
COM Port or any other device that uses a virtual COM port.
There are two basic steps to setup the controller to communicate
with the host:
1. Configuring the KeyShot or RackShot.
This involves setting the IP address and, optionally, TCP port.
2. Installing and configuring the driver.
This involves setting the Windows driver to associate a COM
port with the IP address and TCP port of your controller.
Note: Before configuring your JLCooper Ethernet based controller,
you will need a unique IP address for each controller you wish to use.
Your network administrator can supply this to you.
Install the Lantronix XPort Installer and Redirector utility.
