Hardware Connection & Network Configuration
Connect the server side and the host computer to the same local area network (LAN) to enable communication between them.
Step 1: Connect the Gripper Device to Power
Plug the power adapter of the gripper device into a mains socket.
Wait for the gripper to complete initialization, and observe that the status light first flashes and then stays on.
Step 2: Connect to the Network
Method 1: Using a Switch
Connect the gripper and the computer to different network ports of the switch respectively, and ensure the network is connected. At this time, the gripper’s IP address is automatically obtained using dhcp, and subsequent scanning needs to be performed using ezros.
Method 2: Direct Connection to Computer’s Network Port
In this case, the gripper uses a static IP 192.168.99.2, and the computer needs to set its own IP within the same network segment as the gripper (open Network Settings -> Wired Settings -> IPv4).
Reference settings are as follows:

Use an Ethernet cable to directly connect the PC’s Ethernet port to the gripper device’s network port, and ensure the Ethernet cable is firmly plugged into the PC’s port.
Step 3: Test Network Connectivity
Open the PC’s command prompt (Windows: Press
Win+R, entercmdand press Enter; Linux: Open the terminal).Enter the following command in the command line and press Enter:
ping 192.168.99.2
Result Judgment:
If messages like “Reply from 192.168.99.2” are displayed, you can directly proceed with subsequent operations.
If “Request timed out” is displayed, please check the following items in sequence:
Whether the Ethernet IP configuration is correct (recheck Step 2)
Whether the Ethernet cable is loose or damaged
Whether the gripper device has completed initialization (whether the status light stays on)
