OBLAC Drives over the local area network rather than having to connect to OBLAC Drives Box over
WiFi.

SOMANET servo drive on port IN.
The Box can be controlled via WiFi or LAN.

the WiFi access point using your laptop or computer.
1.6 Sharing a connection with your Host-PC
Usually you would connect the Box to the internet with a LAN connection and connect your Host-PC to
the Box via WiFi as the Box acts as an access point. However, if you don’t have a LAN connection, you
can also share your Host-PC’s WiFi with the Box using a LAN cable:
Windows
Enter Settings/Network Connections
Select two network adapters “WiFi” and “Ethernet” by selecting each while holding Ctrl
Right click and select “Bridge Connection”
When you are finished working with OBLAC Drives Box you can simply delete the bridged
