IMPORTANT! This document does not provide adequate detail to integrate the
QuantStudio
®
3D Instrument into all possible network architectures. Because your
laboratory network can contain advanced features (such as firewalls), we recommend
that you consult a network administrator before connecting your instrument.
Networking overview
After installing the
QuantStudio
®
3D Digital PCR Instrument and the QuantStudio
®
3D AnalysisSuite
™
Software, you can connect the QuantStudio
®
3D Instrument to a
local area network to enhance its functionality. When connected to a network, the
QuantStudio
®
3D Instrument can upload data directly to the QuantStudio
®
3D
AnalysisSuite
™
Cloud Software or to a Windows
®
-based or SAMBA file server, for
later import by the AnalysisSuite
™
Software.
Note: The QuantStudio
®
3D Instrument supports a wired network connection
without any additional hardware other than what is shipped with the instrument. The
instrument can be configured for wireless networking through the installation of a
wireless dongle, which is sold separately (see “Materials required“ on page 97).
The QuantStudio
®
3D Instrument is designed to integrate into a standard Local Area
Network (LAN), both wired and wireless. The instrument features a Gigabit Ethernet
port that provides direct connection to a network via a shielded cat 6 Ethernet cable,
or wireless communication via a dongle.
The instrument supports the following networking technologies and standards:
• Communication via Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) over Internet Protocol
(IPv4).
• Internet and local host name lookups via standard Domain Name Service (DNS).
• Local server lookups via Windows Name Service (WINS) (optional).
• Automatic configuration of IP, DNS, and WINS settings via Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), or manual configuration via the QuantStudio
®
3D Instrument touchscreen.
• Automatic data transfer to the QuantStudio
®
3D AnalysisSuite
™
Cloud Software
using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol over a Secure Socket Layer (HTTPS), or
data export to a local Windows
®
-based or SAMBA file server over the Server
Message Block (SMB) protocol.
• Date and time synchronization via Network Time Protocol (NTP).
