> [@CUIS](#): > > Are there any updates on this, don’t have enough USB ports so would like to run the pin 360 over ethernet as I now have installed the blue robotics ethernet switch. We’re yet to fully document the conversion process, which was originally because there were some issues with connecting via an ethernet switch instead of a router, but it’s possible(/I believe) those have now been fixed. I’ve got a meeting with the relevant people tomorrow so can come back to confirm. For what it’s worth, it works fine for me. If you’d like to try it you can change the Ping360 to the ethernet configuration port (shown in our [changing the interface guide](https://bluerobotics.com/learn/changing-communications-interface-on-the-ping360/)), and then create an extension cable with the 4-pin JST-GH to JST-GH adaptor PCB that came with the [Ping360](https://bluerobotics.com/store/sensors-sonars-cameras/sonar/ping360-sonar-r1-rp/) plus one of the JST-GH to JST-GH twisted pair cables that came with the [Ethernet Switch](https://bluerobotics.com/store/comm-control-power/tether-interface/ethswitch/), which you can then plug into the Ethernet Switch. As warned about in the conversion guide: > [@Changing Communications Interface on the Ping360](#): > > If the Ping360 is changed over to Ethernet communications, **DO NOT** plug it into a computer via the USB connection, it will damage the transformer on the Ethernet configuration. You’ll need to make sure you’re running [the latest version of Ping Viewer](https://github.com/bluerobotics/ping-viewer/releases/), or it may not detect the device. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.bluerobotics.com/t/ping360-ethernet/6081)._
