EyeLink Ethernet Connection

The EyeLink Ethernet port is reported (Aug 2020) to be "full" gigabit" ⩵ 1000Mbps.

The EyeLink host defaults to 100.1.1.1. This can be changed but is assumed in many of EyeLink's tools. Because the P1 and P2 control room task PCs already interface with Avotec Arrington Eye Tracker over a fixed 10.x.x.x IP, “EPrime”/task PCs on Prisma 1 and Prisma 2 have two network port. You'll need to make sure you've plugged the EyeLink Host PC into the the port labeled “EyeLink.” See more on EyeLink Task Computer Setup.

If you're bringing your own laptop, you will need

1. a wired ethernet port to connect to the tracker's Host PC
2. to set the laptop's wired interface's IP address to 100.1.1.2
   • Ask IT to add your laptop user to the Network Configuration Operators group
   • Change the IP by running control.exe ncpa.cpl
