Connecting to the SL-R4
There are multiple ways to connect to the SL-R4 board:
- QTWeb on a GX-60.
- PC web browser (Programming cables 1001270-01 and 1001269-01 required) .
- MCXConfig on a GX-55.
An MC-R3 with an SL-R4 board can only be updated with a control box because there is no ethernet programming cable for an MC-R3.
Configuring Ethernet Adapter
The process for connecting on a GX-60 and a PC are virtually identical.
