How do I connect the LabJack T-series device directly to my computer with Ethernet? In order to connect a T4, T7, or T7-Pro directly to a computer with an Ethernet cable, please follow the networking app-note titled Direct Connection via Ethernet. The application note is about connecting a T4 or T7 via Ethernet to a network that does not have a DHCP server (router). Perhaps you have a few devices connected to a switch or hub, or perhaps you just have a T-series device directly connected to a computer via Ethernet. Since this network does not have a DHCP server, you need to disable DHCP on the computer and assign static IPs to both the computer and the T4/T7: 1. Follow tutorials for your operating system to configure your computer's Ethernet port to have a static IPv4 IP address. For this example, give your computer a static IP address of 192.168.25.2. The subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0. The default gateway should be 192.168.25.1. 2. Connect a computer to the T4/T7 via USB. 3. Run Kipling, connect to the T4/T7 via USB, and navigate to the Network Settings tab. 4. Disable DHCP to enable manual entry of the networking details. Enter the IP address: 192.168.25.3, subnet of 255.255.255.0, and a gateway of 192.168.25.1. You can leave the DNS/Alt-DNS IP addresses at 0.0.0.0. Press the Apply button. 5. Wait a few seconds for the device's reported connection status to report "Connected" and show a static IP address of 192.168.25.3. If this does not happen, close Kipling, power cycle the T4/T7, re-open Kipling, connect by USB, and go back to the Network Settings tab. Now go to step #7 of the Setup WiFi and Ethernet ... App Note, and depending on what happens you might need to see the troubleshooting tips towards the end of the Basic Networking & Troubleshooting App Note.
