Activate a CID
Each physical CID must have a matching record in CID Hub before it can be used. This page is for the lab administrator or IT operator who creates that record and monitors the device through activation. Activation is largely automatic: once you create the record with a valid PIN code, the CID detects it on the next contact attempt and begins installing OpenLab CDS.
Configure network cards
Each CID has two physical Network Interface Cards (NICs): a Corporate NIC for traffic to your lab network, CID Hub, and the OpenLab Server, and an Instrument NIC for the isolated instrument network.
Configure an instrument
After a CID has activated and registered with your OpenLab Server, it appears in Control Panel as an Analytical Instrument Controller (AIC). This page is for the lab technician who is attaching a physical instrument to the CID and configuring it through Control Panel. The procedure is identical to configuring an instrument on a conventional AIC; the work happens in Control Panel, not in CID Hub.
