Dexter Networking
Dexter has an RJ-45 connector for CAT5 Ethernet connection. Because of issues with the Linux stack, WiFi adapters are not supported (as of April 2018). Although Dexter does have the ability to connect directly to the internet via a CAT5 cable to a local router, the easiest way to connect from a PC is to simply connect that CAT5 cable directly between the network port on the PC and Dexter. This is perfectly acceptable and works very well. The network adapter on the PC should be configured to the 192.168.1. network. Dexter defaults to 192.168.1.142 so any other address is fine for the PC adapter. The PC's wifi adapter can remain connected to local WiFi at the same time.
Once you are connected, you can shell into Dexter to update the firmware or do development in the onboard Linux OS, or just connect via DDE to develop and run jobs.
