+==== Configuring network to communicate with laser ====
+Connect the laser and make sure it is powered up with the battery.
+Go to the network connections icon (which is next to your volume icon in the Ubuntu GUI).
+There should be an ethernet connection existing which is not completely configured.
+On the bottom of network connections menu click on "Edit Connections...".
+Choose "Wired Connection 1" and click on "Edit...".
+There, in the "Ethernet" tab use Device Mac Address from the drop-down menu.
+In the "IPv4 Settings" tab choose "Method" "Manual" and in "Addresses" add a new address -- click on "Add". The "Address" is the IP address of the network card -- your ethernet to USB dongle, e.g. "192.168.200.1". As netmask use "255.255.255.0" and leave "Gateway" empty or zeros.
+In "IPv6" settings choose "Method" "Ignore".
+Done. It should connect automatically anytime when the laser is connected.
