Control Computer Firewall

The firewall protects the control computer by filtering incoming traffic to remove potential threats. The firewall is enabled by default to block all inbound connections. Keep the firewall enabled and allow outbound connections.

Endpoints depend on your region and instrument type and are categorized as required, recommended, or optional. Refer to the regional and instrument-specific endpoints and add the relevant endpoints into the allow list for your firewall. You cannot connect to Illumina cloud platforms or receive updates from Universal Copy Services without the required endpoints. If you block recommended endpoints, delays when logging in or increased upload times can occur. Optional endpoints allow access to support materials from Illumina.
