3 Quick Start – Remote Control
This section contains redundant information from other chapters but is useful for a first-time
usage of the instrument.
1. Power up the unit using the main power switch located at the back of the unit
2. Wait until the boot sequence is completed. The local screen should look similar to
this (DX)
3. Connect the USB Port located at the rear of the unit to your Windows10 PC or
connect the Ethernet Port to your LAN.
a. For USB based access, all drivers will be installed automatically, Windows
device manager should show now 3 devices:
1. A storage device containing manual etc.
2. A virtual Ethernet Interface "RNDIS"
3. A virtual COM Port
Both virtual COM and Ethernet Ports can be used to remote control the unit.
The installed COM Port number can be retrieved from Windows device
manager. The IP address by the command shell "ping cobrite.local".
b. For Ethernet based access, the default IP of the unit is 192.168.0.1. Make
sure that the host PC IP is in the same subnet as the laser unit (192.168.0.x).
If this is not the case, you can change the IP settings of the unit via the touch
screen or using the USB Port of the unit. Use "cobrite.local" as an alternative
to the IP address to connect to the unit.
4. Open your Web browser, enter "cobrite.local" in the address field and hit <enter>.
The Webpage allowing to control the laser remotely should open now.
Note: Depending on the configuration of your host PC DNS structure, the "cobrite.local"
name representation might not be resolved into the correct IP address. In such a case, for a
DX unit, retrieve the IP Address on the local touch panel under "Device Config – Network
Config" and use it instead of the name. For a DX2 unit, open a connection to the USB
virtual serial interface and type the command "USBIPADDR?;" to retrieve the USB IP
Address or "IPADDR?;" for the IP address of the Ethernet interface.
