Firewall Inbound Rules for Bio-Rad NGC Software

Bio-Rad configures the ChromLab™ software using Microsoft Windows firewall with

advanced security. If you have a third-party firewall application you must configure

that software so that it meets Bio-Rad software’s firewall rules. The rules for NGC™

are listed in Table

15 on page

174. You can see the complete list of inbound firewall

rules in the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security tool.

Note:

If you have antivirus software installed on your ChromLab computer,

ensure that it is configured to allow the Bio-Rad NGC networking applications

and services listed in this table.

To view Bio-Rad NGC Firewall Inbound Rules

1.

On the ChromLab computer, open the Control Panel and select Administrative
Tools.

2.

In the list of tools, double-click Windows Firewall with Advanced Security.

3.

In the left pane, select Inbound Rules. The list of inbound rules appears in the
middle pane.

Tip:

If the list is long, sort the list alphabetically to view the rules for

Bio-Rad NGC.

Important:

Ensure that the settings for your third-party tool follow the rules for

Bio-Rad NGC. If your tool has a “Trust Network” or similar setting, ensure that it

is enabled, allowing an unrestricted, trusted connection between the ChromLab

computer and the NGC instrument.
