following operations are not necessary. If the driver installation is cancelled while installing the application
software, follow the procedure to install the USB driver that is described below.
Installing on Windows XP
Connect the controller to a computer with Windows XP. If the controller is being connected for the first time, the
USB driver for the LJ-G Series must be installed. The connection is automatically recognized after the USB driver
has been installed once and does not need to be installed again.
This section explains how to installed the driver for the LJ-G Series when first connecting to a computer with
Windows XP.
Hardware detection must be performed when installing the USB driver for the LJ-G Series.
Use the following methods to install the driver.
1 Start up Windows XP and log in as a user that has Administrator privileges (or similar privileges that
permit changing system settings).
2 Connect the USB port on the computer with the USB port on the LJ-G Series controller with the USB

Connecting via Ethernet
Connecting via Ethernet
This section describes how to connect the controller to a computer with an Ethernet connection. When using
Ethernet communication, one computer can be connected to multiple controllers. One of the connected
controllers can be selected for communication. The communication protocol is TCP/IP, while the connection uses
peer-to-peer communication.
NoteNote
• Configure the settings so that there are different IP addresses used for the computer and each controller on the network.
• Operations are not guaranteed when connected through a router or a separate LAN connection.
• One computer cannot communicate with multiple controllers at the same time.
• Multiple computers cannot be connected to one controller.
Connecting
Connecting one controller directly to the computer
Use a commercial Ethernet cross cable (CAT 5) (OP-42275) for the connection.
Cross cable
Ethernet connector
Ethernet port
Connecting to two or more controllers
A 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T hub is required to connect two or more controllers. Use commercial Ethernet
straight cables (OP-42210) to connect between the hub and the computer or controllers.
