Re: How to connect directly to Duet Ethernet with Ethernet Cable?
Hello and thanks to everyone in advance
I have a duet ethernet board and a workbee cnc machine
Is there anyway i could get step by step on how to connect using just an ethernet cable and accessing the interface so i can position the machine and send work across
I don't have an internet connection in my workshop where my CNC machine is, except for my phone which i could use as a hotspot
Ideally id just like to connect with the ethernet to the cnc
If anyone could provide simplified step by step it would be appreciated
Thanks

its unclear what exactly you want to do.
do you have a pc in your workshop that you want to directly connect with an ethernet cable?

Sorry i did confuse things
Since i don't have an internet connection in my workshop which is apart from my home at a different location and there my only source of internet is my phone as a hotspot
I'm thinking I'd like to just connect my laptop to the machine via ethernet cable and operate the CNC machine this way, offline
How would i go about doing this?
From what i understand the duet has a web interface, how would the interface load without access to the net?
Thanks in advance

Set the up address of the duet to something like 192.168.4.1
Set the up address of your computers Ethernet connection to 192.168.4.2 with the duets ip address as the gateway ip address.Then you can browse to 192.168.4.1 using your browser.
M552 sets the IP address. You modify/add this to the config.g

Alternatively, if you have an old router left over from when you last changed your Internet ISP, connect both the laptop and the Duet to that. It doesn't have to be connected to the Internet. Or buy a nano router such as one of the TPLink WR series.
