TCP/IP Issues

in Repetier-Server
Trying repetier for the first time to see if it works for what we need in our Farm, but I keep hitting a brick wall with every machine I try setting up, be it Prusa, Elegoo, whatever.

Taking the Prusa XL as an example, i'm setting:
  • Firmware: Marlin
  • Connection Method: TCP/IP Connection
  • IP: 192.16.x.xx (parsed for security purposes)
  • Port: 80 (tried 23, 5000, 8080 as well)
  • Password: PrusaLink API Key (parsed for security purposes)

But I always end up getting the error: "Could not start connection with set TCP/IP. Please select the right one"

I know for a fact that the IP and Password are correct as I've tested them via both Prusa Connect and Prusa Link.

Plus, the same error occurs when trying to set up a Neptune 4 Plus, for example, which asks for less info as it's running Klipper.

Any help would be appreciated.

    TCP/IP is only for connection to a serial identical port that works the same like usb serial connection. It is notr meant to connect to webinterface. This would require a specialiced connecotr for that firmware/tcp solution - for prusa we would need to know how PrusaConnect would work. For others it with klipper it would need a moonraker connector.

    Such connectors are on it"s way starting with bambu connector and then moonraker(klipper) and then probably PrusaConnect. This requires a deep modification of server, because not evertything is possible over such solutions. It all depends on what the api of the printer allows to do and returns as informations. But I assume once first connector works further connectors are much faster to implement.
