Networking requirements
The PromethION 2 Solo has no networking functionality. If using your own computer, please ensure it has internet connection (wired or wireless). The GridION uses a uses a 1x1 Gbps Copper interface for connecting to your local infrastructure. This has a single port with the IP address configured to DHCP by default (however static IPs are configurable).
This connection will be used for:- Sending telemetry* information to Oxford Nanopore Technologies.
- Receiving software and firmware updates to the device
- Streaming biological sequence data to your local storage infrastructure
To implement the PromethION 2 Solo into the local infrastructure, all appropriate cabling must be provided by the customer.
* Telemetry contains metadata about the settings and conditions of a sequencing run. Nothing specific about the genomic content of individual reads is included - only generic information is logged, such as sequence length and q-score.

Configuring your network
For instructions on configuring your network, see the Network settings and connection section of the GridION user manual.

Check your IP address
To validate that the IP address has been set correctly using a static or DHCP address, you can use the command:
ifconfig
The returned information will contain the IP address (highlighted in bold) for the Ethernet link, as below:
prom@PRO00001:~$ ifconfig
enp0s31f6 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 70:85:c2:4b:30:f5
inet addr:
10.160.24.40
Bcast:10.160.24.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
