Deciding on a network configuration
There are several ways to design a network. Some knowledge and experience with setting
up networks is highly suggested. The simplest example shown below is of a peer-to-peer
network where there are only two devices connected. The other examples shown below
expand the number of computers and LANCNC possible on the network.
Using the simple peer-to-peer network is a good starting point when setting up a new
network or before integrating the LANCNC and Fadal CNC into a larger company
network.
The following are the suggested manufacturers of routers and access points:
Belkin 4-Port Cable/DSL Gateway Router F5D5231-4
Belkin Wireless G Router F5D7230-4 (this can be configured as an access point)
Belkin Wireless G Router P57612-G (this can be configured as an access point)
Example 1, Simple Peer-to-peer Network connection to the LANCNC-FAD
The diagram below shows a simple peer-to-peer configuration of integrating a computer
(i.e. desktop or laptop computer running Windows, MAC or Linux OS), the Calmotion
LANCNC controller and a Fadal CNC. This simple setup is good starting point when
setting up a new network or before integrating it into a larger company network.
The LANCNC-FAD has a factory default ftp server address of 192.168.2.111. Direct
connection to a Windows XP PC out of the box with an Ethernet cable can be achieved
by following the subsequent procedures:
1. Select Control Panel from the Windows Start button. The screen should look like
Figure 3 below.
