Hello all. I tried calling Morningstar three times and all there guys are helping others. So here is what I have and perhaps someone can give me instructions on how to connect my laptop with the Ethernet cord to the charger. I have done that with no problem. My computer is wireless connected with a verizone card. I load up the msvue and search for device with error of ip address cant be found
Thanks
Since your laptop is wireless and the Mornistar is not, you will need to connect a ethernet cable from the controller to the laptop.
The problem is you will need a SPECIALLY wired Ethernet cable which has the PAIRS of wires "switched". Standard Ethernet cables are wired straight through and your network hubs actually automatically switch the pairs for you. Hence the cable you need is a switched pair one or also known as a "crossover" cable.
Once you have a switched pair cable you should be able to find the charger port address..
Crossover cable
