Hello all,
I'm looking for some help to get going with the machines I just bought.
I bought: 1994 Patner I w/Cent5(not running yet), 1996 VM16w/Cent5(not running yet), 1997 VM16 w/Cent VI ( RUNNING )
I already had a Partner IV w/Centurion IV controller(VENTAGE) It runs but is just sitting. I've made tons of parts with it in the past.
The machine that is running is the VM16 W/Centurion VI controller.
The shop I got it from had many machines on a either net switch box.
From thier computer runing MasterCam they were able to creat and then drag and drop an NC file in to a folder called DRIVE "(J)" From the desk top this represented the drive that is in the VM16 Mill.
I guess the NC file was then DNC'd from the drive...
I wanted to connect an eithernet (cat 5) cable between the desk top computer running Windows XP Pro to the Cent. VI with Windows 3.1.
We have a Standard Cat5 cable and we have a Cross Over Cat5 cable as well. Is this possible without a router / switch box?
Need held getting the Desk Top to send and receive files from the Mill.
Is there someone that can help me get this set up?
thanks,
SpeedMetal
