Connecting the ACOUSTIK to a PC with CONTROL
Ethernet
connection
To connect an ACOUSTIK system to a PC using Ethernet, the PC and the system must
have their Ethernet ports connected to the same or separate IPv4 subnets. If separate
subnets are used, ensure they are reachable from each other.
Procedure 3 Connecting a PC to the ACOUSTIK using Ethernet
Action
1
Connect the system to CONTROL over a USB connection – follow Procedure 2
.
2
Configure the ACOUSTIK IP address under Settings - Ethernet – see Ethernet on page 70
3 Disconnect the USB connection in CONTROL.
4 In CONTROL, click on the Connect menu
item and select Config from the list to
open the Port Configuration window.

6 The Create new network port window
appears. Configure the port parameters as
follows:
Name – Enter a name for the Ethernet
connection (e.g. ACOUSTIK 1).
Host IP Addr. – Click on the drop-down
menu and select the host IP address
assigned to the Ethernet port that will
connect to the ACOUSTIK.
System IP Addr. – Enter the IPv4 address
assigned to the ACOUSTIK system in step
2.
Protocol – Select either UDP or TCP. UDP
is the default and recommended.
Host Port – Enter a TCP or UDP port
number used by the management PC as
set in step 2 – default: 10001.
System Port – Enter the TCP or UDP port
used by the ACOUSTIK system as set in
step 2 – default: 10001.
NOTE: Connecting multiple systems over
IP to the same NKTP CONTROL PC,
requires a unique local system port for
each system.
Timeout (ms) – Enter a timeout value in
milliseconds. When CONTROL sends a
request to the laser, it waits for a reply from
the system until this timeout value expires,
default: 100 milliseconds.
Click OK to accept the configuration of the new network port.
In the Port Configuration window, click
on the Create new port button.
