3. Simple Setting Guide
This section describes the three methods of connecting one personal computer and one NC.
The required items differ according to the connection method.

• Connection using LAN cross-cable (LAN)

• Connection via hub (LAN)
• Serial port connection (RS-232C)

3.1. Connection using LAN cross-cable (TC-B00 series/HS-70A only)

Required items
LAN cross-cable (100BASE-TX)

Note: LAN cross-cables are not the same as general LAN cables. If it is difficult to obtain
a LAN cross-cable, refer to "3.2 Connection via hub".

Connection
Connect the PC's LAN port and the NC's LAN port directly with a cross-cable.

PC Settings (Windows)
Select [Start] ⇒ [Settings] ⇒ [Network and Dial-up Connections] ⇒ [Local Area Connection]
(*1).
Click [Properties].
Select [Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)] on the <Properties> screen, and click [Properties].
The screen shown below appears. Select [Use the following IP address], enter "192.168.1.1"
for [IP address] and ”255.255.255.0” (*2) for [Subnet mask], and click [OK].

(*1) This is the default name when Windows is installed. The name may differ depending
on your environment.
(*2) When you are already connected to a LAN, please ask your network administrator
for the IP address and Subnet mask.

Set [Path], [Machine Type], and [Unit].
Enter the NC name ("Machine 1" in this example) for [Machine Name], "192.168.1.2" for [IP
address], and "10000" for [Port].

Note: Click [Save Setup] to use the latest settings the next time you start the software.

NC Settings
Refer to "5. NC Settings", and set the NC's communication parameters.

-7-
3.2. Connection via hub (TC-B00 series/HS-70A only)

Required items
Hub (100BASE-TX)
LAN cable (100BASE-TX)

Connection
Connect the PC and hub, and the NC and hub with LAN cables.

PC Settings (Windows)
Select [Start] ⇒ [Settings] ⇒ [Network and Dial-up Connections] ⇒ [Local Area Connection]
(*1).
Click [Properties].
Select [Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)] on the <Properties> screen, and click [Properties].

3.3. Serial port connection

Required items
Serial (RS-232C) reverse cable
Use a cable with the terminal layout indicated below.

PC NC
RD(2) -------- SD(2)
SD(3) -------- RD(3)
ER(4) -------- DR(6)
SG(5) -------- SG(7)
DR(6) -------- ER(20)

4. PC Settings
4.1. LAN settings
The network between the PC and the NC is connected via Ethernet, using the TCP/IP
protocol. Accordingly, the appropriate IP address, subnet mask, etc. must be set. Specifying
the IP address and the port number enables TCP/IP communication with the PC running as a
client and the NC as a server. Since DNS (Domain Name System) is not applicable for this
software, the NC’s IP address must be specified directly.

Notes:
1. Refer to "3. Simple Setting Guide" when connecting one PC and one NC.
2. LAN settings should be performed by an experienced operator. Please ask your
network administrator.

4.2. COM port settings

There are no items set for Windows.
The COM port number and the baud rate can be set from this software.

The table below shows the COM port communication conditions.

Item Value
Port COM1-COM4
9600
