    Jtech with Velox 6262 Running Mach 3

    I've been running my velox 6262 CNC for 8 months now, but recently I've been looking into upgrading with Jtech's spindle mount 7W laser for engraving my powder coated aluminum pieces.
    I ordered the warp9 ESS, BOB, and ribon cable just how it shows on jtech's website, but here's the issue I foresee:
    Neither my PC nor CNC control box has DB25 connections. Just straight up ethernet to ethernet port.

    How would I connect my PC running Mach 3 to both the laser driver and CNC driver?
    USB to Ethernet adapter for one of them?

    Thanks!

    How do you attach your computer to your current BOB? If you do not have a db25 connection to your BOB why did you get a ESS? The BOB should connect to both the lazer and cnc driver.

    The ESS has three "parallel" ports. You just need a DB25 to IDC26 adapter.

    After sleeping on it I'm starting to realize that I may need to just open my CNC electrical enclosure and tap directly into the CNC's ESS. Sorry, that was a rooky post

    No, everything should go through the ESS.
