Adjust the LabJack's network configurations accordingly. For this, you can use a different network gateway, such as 192.168.25.1. For example, if multiple network adapters have a gateway of 192.168.1.1 then only one of them will work. If you have more than one network adapter, make sure that the other network adapters do not overlap. Steps to Configure a Direct Ethernet ConnectionĬonfigure a static IP address for the both the LabJack and the computer.įollow a tutorial for your operating system to configure your computer's Ethernet port to have a static IPv4 IP address. You can also connect multiple devices to a switch or a hub connected directly to your computer's Ethernet port.Ī direct Ethernet connection is a fast, low-latency Ethernet connection because there are as few network connections as possible.
You can then connect a LabJack device via its Ethernet port directly. Normal network setup uses a router, but instead you can configure your computer's Ethernet network adapter to host a static network.
