Ensure there is a direct connection between the Ethernet port on the Control Box and the

Computer.

Note

It is OK to use a USB to ethernet adapter and connect an ethernet cable from the USB port

to the router to gain internet access for computers without Wifi capabilities. This will leave the

other ethernet port open for use with the Dragon machine.
