Extended Data Fig. 3

A local area network (LAN) is built to connect all the pieces of the A-Lab with a control computer using an RS-485 interface (or DB25 for the box furnaces). Each module on the RS-485 interface has an Internet Protocol (IP) assigned to enable communication with the computer. For enhanced cybersecurity, only the control computer has access to the internet, whereas the LAN is isolated from it.
