4.4.2 Installation when used in a network
When using the thermal cycler together with the Biometra TSuite thermal cycler man-
agement computer software, please follow these instructions for connection in a net-
work:
The thermal cycler can be connected to a computer via the company network. The
thermal cycler is usually configured for a network connection with a DHCP server in
the delivery state (please refer to the "Network" section 11.1.4).
This requires an Ethernet cable (minimum requirements: Cat 5e performance class,
STP cable structure, max. 30 m length).
You can connect the thermal cycler and the computer to the DHCP server via the
Ethernet cable and a router (e.g. such a device https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-
networking/wifi-router/tl-wr841n/), alternatively you can connect the computer
and the thermal cycler to the company network if this is allowed by your company's
IT policies.
For an alternative direct connection of the thermal cycler, the thermal cycler must be
changed to a network connection with a fixed IP (e.g. IP 192.168.0.30, subnet mask
255.255.255.0) (see section "Network" p.80).
The network card must also be changed to a fixed IP(V4) via the network adapter
settings under Windows (e.g. IP 192.168.0.10, subnet mask 255.255.255.0).
The PC network card should comply with the IEEE 803.2ab_1999 autocrossover
standard, otherwise a crossed network line is required. Newer network cards usually
comply with this standard.
An Ethernet cable is available as an optional accessory.
