points:
Use headstage ports 7 to 10 for stackable headstages, other ports cannot support stackable headstage .
Only use ethernet cable cat6 and cat5 E.
Mac address on the ecube is right under the cube: use this in open ephys configuration:
ecube-a48c.mshome.net THIS can be super useful when open ephys or server node cannot find the eCube's IP address.
When you connect the computer to IU network over a wireless connection, open Ephys cannot find eCube's IP address. Go to network center and find your wireless card, check the box where it allows other devices to share this connection. that way eCube use IU's DHCP. Afterward, use the IP scanner software (downloadable for free) and find eCubes IP address.
When you see sth funny or unusual on ecube recording, you can use the logger software installed on the eCube PC to record all activity of the eCube module.
