Method 1: Manual connection

Use this method when the robots are already connected to a local area network.

Connecting the robots to a Local Area Network (LAN) can interfere with other devices sharing these IP addresses.

  • Do not connect the robot to a LAN. Connect the two robots directly to eachother.

Connection between the two networks can break down, causing the calibration screen to change.

  • Follow the on-screen instruction to resolve the network conflict and restart the calibration process.

Connecting the Manual network (Method 1)

Define the network connection types as listed in the following table:

Network connection type Definition
Master The main robot in the calibration process. Uses a single cable.
Slave The subordinate robot in the calibration process.
Manual A Master robot is selected and a Slave robot selected by a user supplied IP-address.
