One 6-pin Pmod cable is included with the EDDP Kit. It is already assembled between the encoder and Drive the EDPS Board. Instructions for manual assembly are below:

Network configuration on the Host PC

It is assumed that the operating system on the Host PC is running a Microsoft Windows 7 or newer operating system. For other operating systems, the basic network principles are the same, but the means of configuration are different; consult the corresponding user guides.

In the network connection status dialog (Figure 7), click "Details". A Network Connection Details dialog Local Area Connection Status dialog,appears:

The network settings should be such that the Control Board is reachable from the Host PC. In the case when they are in the same network segment , e.g. when the (gateway is not involved), the following conditions should hold:

1. The subnet mask should be the same for the Control Board and the Host PC.
2. The IP addresses for the Control Board and Host PC must be different.
3. The subnet mask divides the IP address into two parts according to the the bits set in the binary notation (255 in decimal = 11111111 in binary):
   1. The network address, which corresponds to the the bits set in the subnet mask. This should be the same for the Control Board and the Host PC.
   2. The host address, which corresponds to the bits not set in the subnet mask. This should be different for the Control Board and the Host PC. Additional constraint: it cannot be neither null and it cannot be nor the maximum value either.

On the example of settings shown on Figure 8 and the default configuration in the default firmware, the conditions are fulfilled as follows:

...

Alternative method of viewing network settings: Open command prompt (see Figure 8) and execute the following command:

    ipconfig

It will list all netowork network connections and their associated IP addresses.

Other cases are not considered here; consultation with network administration and/or appropriate handbooks is recommended.
