The picture above shows all the relevant connectors of the robobrain. Plug the robobrain.eye camera into one of the four USB3.0 ports at the back or use one of the two USB3.0 ports at the front.&#x20;

You can also connect a monitor to the robobrain via the Display Port / HDMI connector at the bottom of the backside. This will allow you to check the configured IP addresses of the two ethernet ports, but it will NOT display the GUI. In case you have issues connecting to the robobrain, you can use the monitor to validate you are using the right IP addresses. The following chapter "Setting up the network connection" will go into more detail regarding this setup.&#x20;
