<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Scott,</font>
<font size=2 face="sans-serif">There is one gotcha when you use the ethernet communication. </font>
<font size=2 face="sans-serif">The IP address of the Compumotor is unknown to the PC.</font>
<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Note: You set the controller IP address through the serial port communication.</font>
<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Then you activate the ethernet port.</font>
<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Next, you have to associate your host PC IP address with the target IP address of the controller.</font>
<font size=2 face="sans-serif">To do this you have to create a batch file using the arp command:</font>
<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Basically, you have to use: arp -s (target IP) (target hex address) (host IP)</font>
<font size=2 face="sans-serif">for example:</font>
<font size=2 face="Courier New">arp -s 123.123.10.100 00-90-55-00-19-66 123.123.10.101</font>
<font size=2 face="Courier New">Note: The two IP addresses should be on the same subnet.</font>
<font size=2 face="sans-serif">The following is the help for the arp command:</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman">Displays and modifies the IP-to-Physical address translation tables used by</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman">address resolution protocol (ARP).</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman">ARP -s inet_addr eth_addr [if_addr]</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman">ARP -d inet_addr [if_addr]</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman">ARP -a [inet_addr] [-N if_addr]</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> -a Displays current ARP entries by interrogating the current</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> protocol data. If inet_addr is specified, the IP and Physical</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> addresses for only the specified computer are displayed. If</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> more than one network interface uses ARP, entries for each ARP</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> table are displayed.</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> -g Same as -a.</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> inet_addr Specifies an internet address.</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> -N if_addr Displays the ARP entries for the network interface specified</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> by if_addr.</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> -d Deletes the host specified by inet_addr.</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> -s Adds the host and associates the Internet address inet_addr</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> with the Physical address eth_addr. The Physical address is</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> given as 6 hexadecimal bytes separated by hyphens. The entry</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> is permanent.</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> eth_addr Specifies a physical address.</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> if_addr If present, this specifies the Internet address of the</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> interface whose address translation table should be modified.</font>
<font size=2 face="Times New Roman"> If not present, the first applicable interface will be used.</font>

We want to connect to a 6K controller made by Compumotor over our network LAN connection. But we are having trouble getting VEE to recognize the connection. We are completely new to connecting over a LAN connection and any help we could get would be appreciated.
We are using Vee 5.1 on Win 2000.
The equipment we are trying to connect to can be found at site. http://www.compumotor.com or http://www.compumotor.com/catalog_2002/ ... ollers.pdf
Thanks,
