The CncPod is connected to the PC via
the
network
connection
for
data
transmission.
Unlike
competitor
products, you do not need a dedicated PC
port, so you do not need to install a
second network card in the PC, but you
can
use
the
existing
network
infrastructure, and you can also share the
CncPOD with other devices on a
network. Connect switch. If there is a
larger home or office network with
multiple PCs, the following rules should
be followed to avoid bottlenecks:
•
The connection to the PC should
always
have
the
fastest
transmission rate in the network.
So if the PC has a GBit interface
and
the
DSL
router
only
100MBit, then the switch should
also 1GBit, and the CncPOD be
connected directly to this switch.
This ensures that there is no
bottleneck, and data transfer
between other PCs does not slow
down communication with the
CncPod.
•
Only "unmanaged switches" may be used. Routers with "intelligent" functions (firewalls,
proxy ...) that filter logs do not work. Of course, this only applies to the connection path
from the control PC to the CncPod. Outside this route, any devices may be connected to the
network.
•
Wireless connections are not supported, as well as modems or external USB network
adapters that "tunnel" Ethernet over other protocols and are associated with time delays.
(This again applies only to the PC to CncPOD link)
