I would ask them how LinuxCNC is supported.

If it's directly supported with their Ethernet interface
they must have sample configurations/drivers for LinuxCNC.

If it's only supported via the DB25 connector/LPT port
then you would need a PC with a parallel port or an Ethernet
to parallel device like the aforementioned 7I96S or similar.

In that case , it might be easier to just use whatever control
software that is compatible with their Ethernet interface.

This is what i get after enter the password, nothing happen

 

It seems you don't have a parallel port at all.

Are you using an old computer with onboard parallel port or did you have to add a PCI card?
 

I have a old PC donated by school and I have a parallel port connected to PC with a USB adapter. Since this PC doesnt have a parallel port connection.

Go to "Applications" (upper left corner), then "Terminal Emulator"

Copy the first line, paste in terminal, press enter. Then copy the result or take a picture.

Do it for the remaning commands. One by one.
When i paste the second command it asks me for my password but i dont know why i cant type anything.
 

 

Just type it and press enter. It just looks like nothing is happening.

Yes. It is this one. 

If your bob is exactly this one bellow, Amplifier Enable has to be P1.
