The sync cable is required when you want to store the exposure parameters with the image. It is also required when you want to use the Planmeca Intra control panel in the Dimaxis 4.0 software Intraoral Exposure window. The exposure parameters can be set in this window if you are using the Planmeca Intra with updated software 3.0.3.

UPGRADING ETHERNET INTERFACE SOFTWARE Change the IP address to 10.1.0.x (for example 10.1.0.10) and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. Click OK. a: Connect a Cross connected Cat. 5 UTP cable between the PC and the Ethernet box. b: Make sure the computer and the ethernet box are connected to same network. Before doing this ask the local network administrator that it is allowed to use these IP settings temporarily.
