First, you will need to go into the network settings on the robot and assign a static IP address. From there I have not done anything with ROS so am not certain what to do next.

I had set a static ip address on the UR5. It saves the ip and network mask setttings but I can't ping it from the OSx host nor the Linux guest on my computer.
Hi guys.
I have a Mac which is playing host to a VMware Fusion based installation of Ubuntu 16. In Ubuntu, I have ROS installed and a custom package in which I give a virtual ur5 a pose to visit.
Now, I want to execute the same node on a real UR5. I apologise here because from this point on I know very little about how to establish the necessary connection to the real ur5.
There is an RJ45 jack beneath the UR5 control box so I plugged on end of a cable in there and the other end into a usb adaptor which then plugs into my Mac. I choose "connect to linux" so the usb port is only recognised in my Linux virtual box.
In linux, I run ifconfig and there is a new ethernet port but it does not have an ip address.
I need help, please
