Step 1: Setting the Ethernet IP Address on the
Laser
In order to set up the laser system with the appropriate IP Address, you will need
to set-up the laser through a sequence of steps that are described below.
Although it may seem intimidating if this is your first experience setting up
Ethernet connections, it’s really quite simple to accomplish. If you have
problems, don’t panic! You cannot do anything wrong that starting over will not
fix!
There are three network protocols that will need to be set. They are set in the
following order.
1. IP ADDRESS
2. SUBNET MASK
3. GATEWAY
You will use the Zing control panel to set these three protocols. The main control
panel on the laser systems is used for all of the common laser functions as
explained in later sections of this manual, and it is also used to program some of
the setup functions of the laser system including the IP ADDRESS, SUBNET
MASK, an the GATEWAY. In order to program these setup functions we have
assigned a set of numbers to the keys on the control panel. The following
diagram shows which control panel keys are associated with each number needed
to set the network protocols.
