Connect a Rj45 min. Cat5 LAN cable . For Ethernet Lan please never use the Rj45 connector on the top of the board. The LAN connector is on the side under the USB Connector. Please check the connectors here for proper setup. {% content-ref url="/pages/OuAycyltKsoACANppHho" %} [Broken mention](broken://pages/OuAycyltKsoACANppHho) {% endcontent-ref %} On the Dashboard Mainscreen you have serveral Buttons and Displays. * Big Red Button on Top : enable disable **Emergency State** of the controller * Online Button: light blue on start. changes color in motion operation. toogle this button to switch between **Online** and **Offline** State. * Status Display: This display emulates the handheld's LCD and shows the status messages of the rig and actuators.
