Network Setup for LAN sensors

To use OptiTUIO™ with the supported LIDAR network sensors you have to make sure that the computer which is running the OptiTUIO™ software is in the same network like your connected sensor.

Follow this steps to make sure your computer can see the sensor in the network:

• Open the Network Connections Window Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections

• Right click on the Network adapter which is connected to the network where your sensor is connected too

• Left click Properties

• Double click Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4)

• Give your computer a manual fixed IP and assign the Subnet Mask

						Make sure that the IP you assign to your computer is not used already from another device!

Check the network connection - ping test

• Press Windows Key + R

• Type cmd into the Run window and press Enter

• Type ping the_IP_address_of_the_sensor and press Enter

• If the sensor is connected correct then you will get a reply from the sensor
• If the sensor is not replying you have a wrong network setup

Setup for USB sensors

OptiTUIO™ supports the Hokuyo URG04 UG01 sensor. This sensor has no network connection and uses a USB connection.

To make sure the sensor gets recognized from Windows and in the OptiTUIO™ software you have to make sure that the serial COM port is setup correctly.

• Open the device manager and check which com port is assigned to the sensor
• setup the same com port in OptiTUIO™
