Connecting the GERBER EDGE FX to your computer
The GERBER EDGE FX is a network device which has a 10/100 Mbps auto-switch network
interface that can communicate with your computer's 10/100 Mbps network card. (A network
interface board is in most new computers or is readily available for your computer at local
computer stores.) Data needs to be supplied above a minimum rate to prevent printing
anomalies. Gerber strongly recommends communicating via the 100 Mbps interface. An EDGE
FX connected directly to a computer via a crossover cable should function properly using a 10
Mbps interface. When connected to a larger network, you will obtain more reliable
communication when communicating via the 100 Mbps interface. The 10 Mbps interface is not
recommended for larger network situations.
In addition to the GERBER EDGE FX computer requirements needed for network connectivity,
Gerber OMEGA™ software has additional system requirements regarding computer speed,
memory, hard disk space, etc. Please refer to the OMEGA software literature for current
specifications.
The following illustrations depict three ways to connect the GERBER EDGE FX to your
computer:
♦ Direct connection to the computer with a crossover cable using static addresses
♦ Network connection to a network hub or switch using static addresses
♦ Network connection to a network router equipped with DHCP
