Ibex support is via the NGEM IOC, which is installed and run on the laptop. It could in principle run on the NDX computer and talk to the `ngemapp.exe` program over the network, but the IOC needs to move files off the laptop to a locally attached USB hard drive after collection ends so it is more convenient to run on the laptop rather than the NDX. The IOC connects to localhost port 61000 by default, this would only need to be changed (via a macro) if the IOC was not running on the laptop. This port number is the same as passed to the `ngemapp.exe` program running in a separate window, it is the "UI Port" of the ngem software. The nGEM detector itself is network based and will be in a local 192.168 local address attached to the laptop, ibex does not need to be aware of this as it talks to the nGEM server program and does not need to directly communicate with the detector hardware.
