– Supervisory Control Network (If you are doing control over
Ethernet.)
5. If the system has the Supervisory Control Network, click to
highlight the network in the Connections section.

Benefits from other Network Services
You can reduce the number of Broadcasts a system performs, and
hence increase network performance, by using other services to
provide directory and resolution information. (Active Directory, WINS,
DNS, Domains, etc.) However, this will make some functions of the
Control System dependent on these services for operation. In order to
integrate these types of services into the system, extreme care and
planning needs to occur. Navigate in Knowledge Builder to Network
Planning Guide

System Usage The system usage itself will have an impact on the performance of the
system. Most memory and CPU recommendations are based on what
we consider "average" use of the system. Although highly
interpretative, depending on how the system is used and/or
configured may require your system to utilize more memory, higher
speed or multiple CPUs, larger disks, faster networking, etc.
These types of adjustments can only occur over time as you gain
experience with your usage of the system. Here are some features in
the system, which will affect the performance of the Supervisory
Systems:
IMPORTANT
Your network names may not be the ones used in
the example provided. (These are only assigned if
the system had the Installation Services option.) In
this case, you will have to determine which network
card is handling which task in the system before
making adjustments. Use the Up and Down arrows
to make any necessary adjustments
