Is this configuration supported or do the GC and MS need to be on the same network switch?
I am thinking the workstation PC will have the motherboard ethernet adapter, plus two PCIe network adapter cards in order to have a separate connection for the house internet, GC, and MS directly.
In this way we would no longer require the 8-port network switch.
The IT department has asked me to explore options for getting rid of these network switches. The only other option I can think of is directly connecting every instrument to the house network switches and unlinking the direct connection between the PCs and the Instruments.
Thank you for your time
