Your PC should already be connected to your Ethernet hub.
The included Ethernet cable cannot be used to connect the WebCat board directly to the PC.
For that, you must use an Ethernet cable designed for hub-to-hub communications, commonly referred to as an X cable.
Note. You can use a BiPOM Electronics Ethernet cross cable (Part#: ECC-1) to connect WebCat directly to a PC's network card.
- Connect one end of Ethernet cable to Ethernet port of WebCat (J6).
- Connect other end of Ethernet cable to the hub.
- Connect one end of serial cable to an available serial (COM) port on your PC.
- Connect the other end of serial cable to WebCat serial (COM) port (J2).
- Connect the 6VDC Adapter to the WebCat power connector (J5).
Please install WebCat release from BiPOM site.
