UC400ETH network setup

I just received the UC400ETH controller and I am unable to set it up on the network. I powering it up with 12V 2 amp PS and connecting it to the router or directly to the LAN card it is not seen as a network device. The power LED is on steady and the packet LED is flashing but neither the router map or the network tree show it as an installed device. I'm sure that I am missing a setup or a configuring step. I followed the manual step by step on different W7 and W10 computers and it still does not show up. What are the required protocols needed to setup the UC400ETH card and is there a way to bench check it? Bob

Have you checked if the uncnc software can see it? Not sure if it's an Ethernet device or just using the cable in a nonstandardized way.

Edit: never mind, if you are following the manual I assume it should work. Windows workgroup/home group issues maybe?

Did you set the IP address of your network card to 10.10.10.10?

Did you setup your network router for it?
Did you follow the installation steps?: http://cncdrive.com/MC/UC400ETH%20da...ETH_manual.pdf
Did you try to ping the device?
Did you try to use their utility software tool to check the connection?

Gerry, I found that part of the Manual a little confusing. Are they referring to the LAN card or the UC400ETH ip address of 10.10.10.10?
Any case, the UC400ETH does not appear on either the router of the network new devices, even after resetting the UC400ETH per manual.

Gerry, thanks, this time I changed the LAN ip to 10.10.10.10. with the correct subnet mask, and now it's working as designed and it accepted my License.
My problem was that I kept looking for a new attached device to change the IP to. There is always something new to learn so that is what makes CNC fun and interesting. Bob

OlfCNC thanks, it's OK now after I followed the directions properly by setting the IP to the correct device. Bob
