Thermo Scientific Applied Biosystems QuantStudio - Networking Guidelines and Best Practices; Connect the Instrument to the Network

•
Automatic data transfer to the QuantStudio
™
3D AnalysisSuite
™
Software using
the Hypertext Transfer Protocol over a Secure Socket Layer (HTTPS), or data
export to a local Windows
™
operating system-based or SAMBA le server over
the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol.
•
Date and time synchronization via Network Time Protocol (NTP).
The QuantStudio
™
3D Extended Arm WiFi Adapter sold for use with the instrument
can be installed to an internal USB port behind the rear panel to enable wireless
network connectivity. See the product documentation accompanying the adaptor for
the network requirements, specications, and product details.
•
We recommend that you consult a network administrator before connecting the
QuantStudio
™
3D Digital PCR Instrument to your laboratory network.
•
We recommend that you name the QuantStudio
™
3D Digital PCR Instrument
uniquely. While not critical to network function, unique instrument names can aid
with sample tracking and instrument troubleshooting.
Note: The serial number of the QuantStudio
™
3D Digital PCR Instrument is the
default instrument name. The QuantStudio
™
3D Digital PCR Instrument does not
test the uniqueness of the instrument name when it is set.
•
Name QuantStudio
™
3D Digital PCR Instruments using numbers and letters. The
instrument name can include hyphens, but not as the rst or last character.
Connect the instrument to the network
IMPORTANT! The QuantStudio
™
3D Digital PCR Instrument is factory-congured
for DHCP operation (automatic addressing); network conguration is necessary only
if your network does not support dynamic conguration.
For server
conguration information, see the QuantStudio
™
