System requirements
This page lists the network, internet, DNS, certificate, and security requirements for a CID deployment. Each CID controls one instrument; the requirements below apply per device. Sections follow the deployment flow: rack and cable, identify the device, address it on the network, choose a topology. Optional services and firewall rules follow, with customer security obligations summarized at the end.
Hardware and bundle
This page describes what Agilent ships as a CID: the hardware specification, manufacturing provenance, delivery and virtualization model, and what is included under the CID's licensing. For the customer-side obligations a deployment must satisfy, see System requirements. For the software compatibility matrices (operating systems, OpenLab CDS, drivers, add-ons), see Compatibility.
Compatibility
The following matrices list the OpenLab CDS, server, driver, add-on, and integration combinations supported on the CID as of CID Hub release 1.3.0 (April 2026).
