In LAN Setup example 2, The following equipment is required:
- Laptop or Mobile phone with USB to ethernet adapter
- 8 port 100M/1G ethernet switch (D-Link shown in the example)
- 2-6 Network Laser Cubes.
In this configuration, No DHCP hub is required as this will be performed by the first network cube. The first network cube (LAN server) is acting as the DHCP server (yellow LED) and will assign the other devices on the network an IP address. The cube that is to be the LAN Server must first be configured using the mode button (see Mode Button to configure the mode).
The other devices need to be set as LAN clients (PC/mobile phone will normally always act as a client on a computer network) and are indicated by a green LED. Again, the cubes must be set into this mode using the button menu.
With an 8 port network switch, up to 6 laser cubes can be controlled by LaserOS from the laptop.
