Thermo Scientific Applied Biosystems QuantStudio - Network Requirements

Network requirements
The QuantStudio
™
3D Digital PCR Instrument supports IPv4 TCP/IP communication
and provides two methods for integrating the device into a local area network (LAN,
also see “Materials required” on page 96):
•
The fast Ethernet adapter (10/100 Mbps) with a RJ45-type connector on the rear
panel of the instrument allows you to connect the device directly to a standard
network port using a standard Category 6 Ethernet cable of the required length.
•
An optional QuantStudio
™
3D Extended Arm WiFi Adapter (Cat. No. A28598)
connected to the instrument enables a connection to compatible wireless
hotspots.
The QuantStudio
™
3D Instrument requires the following if connected to a network:
•
The room where the instrument will be deployed must contain at least one active
network jack.
•
If the instrument will be located more than 10 feet from the network jack, you
must provide a shielded Category 6 Ethernet cable of sufcient length.
•
If dynamic network conguration is not available, a static IP address must be
reserved for the instrument.
•
The congured DNS server must resolve internet domain names (such as
"apps.lifetechnologies.com/" and "pool.ntp.org").
The names of any local le servers used as data destinations must also be
available through DNS, or optionally WINS.
•
If the instrument will transfer experiment (.eds) les directly to the
QuantStudio
™
3D AnalysisSuite
™
Software, then the instrument must have
outbound Internet access through port 443/HTTPS to
apps.lifetechnologies.com/quantstudio3d/.
•
If the instrument will use Network Time Protocol (NTP) for date/time
synchronization, the instrument must have outbound Internet access through
port 123/UDP to the server pool at pool.ntp.org.
•
If the instrument will transfer experiment (.eds) les to a Windows
™
operating
system-based or SAMBA le server, network credentials must be provided for
authentication.
In addition to the requirements above, if the QuantStudio
™
3D Instrument will be
connected to a wireless network, the access point must support:
•
IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless standards
•
WEP, WEP-Enterprise, WPA- Personal, or WPA2-Personal security
