  • (LAN) Local Static TCP/IP address is required if interfacing the devices (machines) through a TCP/IP connection.
  • To enable remote support by Rx-Universe, or outside access via thin-client, a static IP or DNS must be provided, and port# 5640 must be opened on the router and forwarded to the Rx-Universe server
  • Port 6523 and Lens Update: http://omics.dnsalias.com inbound and outbound: If the router blocks both incoming and outgoing connections, “port# 6523” must be open for outgoing connections to allow updates of programs, lens data, manufacturer report specifications, Eyefinity translations, etc.
  • Rx-Suite: http://omics.dyndns.biz:3333 for updates and license, inbound and outbound.

  • If VisionWeb is used: sftp.visionweb.com port 22, inbound and outbound.

  • A up to date chromium based browser (Chrome, Edge, Chromium, Opera)
  • Device stations is the same as the Stand Alone Workstation requirements:
  • With TCP/IP you can run normal network cable (RJ45) from your network router to your devices just like connecting a Workstation on your network.  This is becoming more and more common with the newer ophthalmic machines.
  • With a Serial Port; A device workstation accepting requests by serial connection must have enough serial ports available for the devices to be connected.  This can be accomplished with serial ports directly in the computer or by means of an external multi-port serial adapter.  Each job tracking scanner used in the lab also must connect to a device workstation by a serial connection.
