R5 – Installing the machine
Connecting the CAM computer
The machine requires a continuous network connec-
tion to the CAM computer for proper operation.
You can connect the machine to the CAM computer
via an Ethernet cable. For integrating the machine into
your network, you may require the assistance of your
IT specialist.
Ensure that your network is working without dis-
ruptions. Network failures will lead to aborted jobs
and unusable machining results.
Do not contact customer support for setting up
your network or troubleshooting network issues.
Customer service will only help you with machine-
related issues.
If you want to control multiple machines with 1
CAM computer, use our multi-machine control fea-
ture. See the documentation for the man-
ufacturing software.
1.
Plug the Ethernet cable into the network port at
the connection panel of the machine.
2.
Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the
network port of the CAM computer. Do not use a
router, hub or switch to connect the 2 units at this
point.
3.
Continue with configuring the machine's network
settings (see below).
Configuring the machine's net-
work settings
For the network connection to work, you need to save

Ensure that the CAM computer is directly con-
nected to the machine via an Ethernet cable.
Otherwise, the machine may obtain incorrect net-
work settings and may become unreachable.
If this happens, an on-site visit by
customer service may be necessary:
