This article is for robots running PolyScope X. If your robot runs PolyScope 5, see How to Configure Network Settings (PolyScope 5).
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.
Under the Connection section, tap Network, then tap Unlock.
Enter the admin password (
beaconbot), then tap Confirm.
Choose DHCP. Tap Apply Configuration. Then tap Lock and Close.
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.
