IP Addresses

Starting from the following firmware version, password authentication was added for greater security when connecting Controllers and PCs.

• F/W: Ver.7.4.58.x

Epson robot systems are designed to be used within a closed local area network. To ensure security, the setting of a global IP address is now considered as access to the Internet, and therefore, a password is required to authenticate the connection.
Note that password authentication is not performed for a USB connection.

The Manipulator is factory set to the default values.
IP address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

The PC and the Controller should be configured with separate IP addresses within the same subnet.
