For details on the password settings, refer to the following manual.

"Epson RC+ User's Guide - Setting Password for PC Ethernet Controller Connection"

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 so a password is required to authenticate the connection.
Note that password authentication is not performed for a USB connection.

Use the private IP addresses in the following ranges:

• 10.0.0.1 to 10.255.255.254
• 172.16.0.1 to 172.31.255.254
• 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254

The Controller is factory set to the default values.

• IP address: 192.168.0.1
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Default gateway: 0.0.0.0

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

• PC: 192.168.0.10
• Controller: 192.168.0.1
