This article is for robots running PolyScope 5. If your robot runs PolyScope X, see How to Configure Network Settings (PolyScope X).
Your robot needs a network connection to reach Beacon. This guide shows you how to set one up.
For the firewall domains and ports your IT department must allow, see Networking Requirements.
Steps
On the teach pendant, open the menu, then tap Settings.
Tap System, then tap Network.
Choose the DHCP network method, then tap Apply.
Unless your IT department tells you otherwise, choose the DHCP network method. A Static Address needs guidance from your IT department.
How to Verify
If you see the message Network is connected, the robot has a valid network connection. This does not, however, verify the outbound firewall rules. If the robot connects to the network but shows offline in Beacon, see Networking Requirements and ask your IT department to confirm the firewall rules.
