Customer provides:

1
Connect to network
Connect the X7 to the plant network via Ethernet (rear port) or WiFi. Ethernet is recommended for reliability.
2
Set static IP
On the touchscreen: Settings > Network > Ethernet > configure static IP in 10.0.100.x range.
3
Connect edge node
Ensure the Flowstate CL260 edge node is on the same subnet.

1
Enable Eiger Fleet API
Log into Eiger (cloud.markforged.com). Under Fleet > Printers, enable API access for the X7. Generate an API token.
Eiger Fleet requires a Markforged subscription. The Flowstate edge node polls the Eiger API and bridges to Sparkplug B.
2
Configure local monitoring
The X7 also exposes local status at http://<ip>/api/status for network-independent monitoring.

1
Test Eiger API
From the edge node, query the local status endpoint. Verify printer state, layer progress, and material levels.
2
Dashboard check
