This page is adapted from the Blue Robotic documentation.

  1. Turn on the BaseStation Plus if it is not on already and connect the included USB-C cable to the Type-C port on the back of the BaseStation. You need to hold the button for about one second to turn it on or off.

  2. Connect the other end of the USB-C cable to your computer. If your computer does not have a USB-C port, you can use a USB Type-C to A adapter.

  4. Select Change adapter settings from the left side menu.

  5. The BaseStation has an internal USB Ethernet adapter, it should be displayed as “Realtek USB GbE Family Controller” in this menu. Right click on this Ethernet adapter then choose Properties.

  7. Select Use the following IP address And enter 192.168.2.1 for the IP address and 255.255.255.0 for the Subnet mask. Select OK. You can then exit this menu.
