Connecting cobranet

dpostilink

Just a few quick newbie questions:

When slaving a BLU-32 to a BLU-80, which cobranet jacks should be used on each device--primary or secondary?

In the absence of a crossover ethernet cable, will an ethernet bridge (Linksys WET-200) facilitate a cobranet connection between a blu-80 and blu-32? Are there any additional steps other than plugging both devices into one of the free ports on the ethernet bridge unit?

Thanks!

You can use both primary or both secondary. It makes no difference. Actually, now that I think about it, you can use any combination of primary and secondary that you like as long as you only use one port per device.

The WET200 probably won't work, but you can give it a try. It will most likely fall over dead as soon as it gets hit with a CobraNet bundle. Not permanently dead, just sobbing in the corner in a fetal ball until you remove the CobraNet and reset it.

\"Additional steps\" would include programming the devices and assigning the CobraNet bundle(s).

I really want to be able to use these devices, but sadly there seem to be glaring holes in my knowledge of how they operate.

I don't know how to assign a cobranet bundle. Can you help with this? I would be happy to follow any instructional documents if they're available. Thanks.

You might consider attending one of our introductory (\"Level 1\") courses. We host them once a month at the factory in Salt Lake City, the course is free, and we'll even pay for your hotel, food, and transportation while you're here. For classes that happen in Salt Lake City, the only thing you need to pay for is getting yourself to the hotel from wherever you live (and back).

We also host them in varying cities around the US.

Level 1 and Level 2 are now globally standardized courses, so you can even find them in different cities around Planet Earth.

Kevin,

I just spoke to Will at tech support and he very helpfully explained the concept of cobranet and also how to get all my devices recognized on the same network. Thanks for referring me to the training sessions anyway.
