The following diagrams illustrate some common methods of using the network
connection to set up your computer(s) to your Legend laser system(s). There are a
number of ways that a network can be set up. These instructions are designed to
cover the common types of setups, but they are by no means the only ways that will
work. Contact your network administrator to create a system that works for you.
Note: The Legend network connection is easy to set up and provides the most
robust data transfer. Setting up a single computer and a single laser system is as
easy as setting up a paper printer.
Our experience indicates that DSL and cable networks have difficulty in assigning
additional IP Addresses for the Legend. If you are using a DSL or cable network it is
best to simply add an additional Network Interface Card (NIC) to your computer and
address the Legend from the secondary card. This is a very simple method of keeping
Internet and networking capabilities running on a single computer.
Epilog cannot troubleshoot or diagnose your network system. If you are having
network problems you MUST contact your network administrator.
