Control Computer Connections
The control computer has two network interface connections. One is designed for external network communication. The other is designed for internal system communication only. Do not disable the internal communication connection.
The system acquires an IP address from the host network via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) by default. Alternatively, you can choose a static address from Windows network settings.

The following table provides the outbound network ports of the control computer. The MAC address, which provides network access for Ethernet, is instrument-specific and cannot be provided before instrument shipment.
