Part Iii Installation - Vision Engraving & Routing Systems Express User Manual

3 Installation
In the following sections, the complete machine and Vision software installation will be outlined. There
are three connection configurations possible with the Vision Express.
The first is a direct cable connection from the Vision Express to your computer via the network port.
There is a special "crossover" cable supplied with the machine for this connection type. This
configuration is for a stand alone computer that is NOT connected to a WIRED network or internet. The
machine can be connected to a computer that is connected to a wireless network in this manner.
The second configuration is for connection to the Vision Express through a wired network using a
standard network cable (DO NOT use the crossover cable when connecting to a network). In this
configuration, the Vision Express will be recognized as a network device. Connection to the machine in
this manner is the easier of the two connection types. If there are no network connections available, a
network hub can be added to allow connection of the Vision Express to your network.
The third configuration is for a connection from the computer to a hub (or router) and then to the Vision
Express. This is WITHOUT a computer network. Standard Ethernet cables are used in this
configuration.
Please call your distributor or the service department at Vision for assistance if you are having problems
connecting your machine.
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE COMPUTER USED TO OPERATE THE VISION
ENGRAVER OR ROUTER BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. THIS ALLOWS THE USER TO
ALLOW VISION'S TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO ACCESS THE MACHINE AND TROUBLESHOOT IF
NECESSARY.
