LAN port
The LAN port on the front of the controller belongs to the controllers private network.
It is intended for connecting network based process equipment to the controller.
The LAN port is configured with the fixed IP address 192.168.125.1, which is the
same for all controllers and cannot be changed, and has a DHCP server which can
assign IP addresses to connected devices.
Ability port
The Ability port is a specific network interface to the controller, available on the
Connected Services Gateway wired (DSQC1041), connected to an Internet gateway
with an IP address provided by the network administrator.
The Ability port must be configured with fixed IP address from RobotStudio or the
FlexPendant. By default the IP address is blank. An external gateway and DNS
need to be provided.
For security reasons, only outbound access on port 53 DNS and 443 HTTP are
allowed. The inbound access is blocked by an internal firewall and cannot be
unblocked.

Note
Do not connect another DHCP server to this port.
Note
The Ability port cannot use any of the following IP addresses which are allocated
for other functions on the controller:
• 192.168.125.0 - 255
• 192.168.127.0 - 255
The Ability port cannot be on a subnet which overlaps with any of the above
reserved IP addresses. If a subnet mask in the class B range has to be used,
then a private address of class B must be used to avoid any overlapping. Contact
your local network administrator regarding network overlapping.
