The USC-3 provides a 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T) interface. The connector is a standard RJ-45 connector.

note

The Ethernet connection is meant as an alternative to the USB connection.

For security reasons, the USC-card should only be used as a direct connection within a secured subnet - NOT as part of an open network..

Make sure that the network adapter settings of the PC are configured correctly such that the IP address of the USC card can be reached. Test this with "ping <USC_IP>". Please, also refer to SAMLight manual > sc_usc_server.exe > LAN.

 

How to connect the USC-3 via LAN with/without an USB connection:

To change the Ethernet parameters of the USC-3, the card must be recognized in the USC server. This can be done either via USB or Ethernet with the current Ethernet parameters. When using Ethernet, the IP address of the USC card must be set at one of the connect strings in <SCAPS>/system/sc_usc.cfg. Before editing the sc_usc.cfg the USC server must be closed, which you should check with the Windows Task Manager.
