1.2 Connecting the Polar3D printer to the Polar Cloud via Ethernet cable

Connecting the printer to your network via an Ethernet cable is similar in functionality, from a Polar Cloud perspective, as a wireless connection. The only difference is in the portability of the printer, as with an Ethernet cable connection, the printer will be physically connected to the network.

Perform steps 1 through 4 from Section 1.1.

But instead of steps 5 through 8 from Section 1.1, simply plug in the Ethernet cable to both the printer, and to an Ethernet jack for your local network. If the POLAR3D LED lights on the printer become blue over white, it indicates that your printer has successfully connected to the Polar Cloud!

However, if the printer could not successfully connect to the Polar Cloud, see Section 1.4: you may need to enter a static IP address for your printer, or ask your IT or network administrator to open up local network access to your printer.

Once the LED lights on the printer show as POLAR3D (blue over white), then perform steps 9 and 10 from Section 1.1; that is, log in to your Polar Cloud account, and add the printer to your Polar Cloud account.
