Multiple network laser cubes can be connected together using a hub or network switch to allow LaserOS software to project on up to 6 (maybe more) laser cubes at the same time.
The preferred connection method in all multi cube configurations is a wired connection via the cube’s ethernet port (due to bandwidth reasons).
The simplest connection method is to have all laser cubes acting as ethernet clients, and then connect them to a hub which is acting as a DHCP server.
If there are more laser cubes than there are available ethernet ports on the user’s HUB, a network switch will be required to allow further laser cube’s to be connected.
If no DHCP hub is available, one of the laser cubes can be configured to be an ethernet DHCP server, and with the use of a network switch, all remaining cubes can be connected to the network switch and configured as ethernet clients.
The server cube will then assign IP addresses to all the client laser cubes including the desktop PC or Phone running the laserOS software.
LaserOS has been tested to run with up to 6 network laser cubes simultaneously over the ethernet port with a D-Link 8 port gigabit network switch.
Example network configurations are shown on the following page.
