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.

area network to enhance its functionality. When connected to a network, the
instrument can upload data directly to the QuantStudio
™
or to a Windows
operating system-based or SAMBA file server, for later import by
™
the AnalysisSuite
Software.
Note: The 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 adapter,
which is sold separately (see "Materials required" on page 96).

The QuantStudio
3D Digital PCR 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 the QuantStudio
WiFi Adapter.
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 instrument
touchscreen.
