Thermo Scientific QuantStudio 1 - Ethernet Port Overview; Firewall Ports that Must be Open; Networking Guidelines and Best Practices

The Ethernet port of the instrument supports:
• Static IP network service with subnet mask, primary and secondary data network
service (DNS), and default gateway seings, or dynamic host conguration
protocol (DHCP) network service.
• mDNS/DNS for local domains.
Note: Because mDNS is limited to direct network connections, an instrument
congured for mDNS may not be visible to other nodes that are separated by a
router, hub, or another network device.
• IPv4 linknlocal (IPV4LL) in the RFC (also known as Automatic Private IP
Addressing [APIPA] or Internet Protocol Automatic Conguration [IPAC]).
Note: When an instrument is set for DHCP, APIPA is automatically enabled, and
the instrument provides an IP address when no address is supplied by the DHCP
server.

• Consult a network administrator before connecting the instrument to a network.
• To enable the full functionality of the software, the computer requires a network
connection.
• Open the rewall port for the instruments to be discovered. See “Firewall ports
that must be open“ on page 83.
• Observe the restrictions to mDNS and Autodiscovery.
The instrument supports mDNS but only when the instrument and computer
share a direct network connection and are within the same subnet. Network
computers that are separated from the instrument by a router, hub, or another
network device may not be able to access the instrument by its host name.
• Conrm the uniqueness of the instrument name.
– The instrument name must be unique within the subnet. The desktop
software can automatically discover instruments on the link-local network.
– The instrument does not test the uniqueness of the instrument name within
the subnet when it is set.
