Ethernet Port Overview; Third-Party Software - Thermo Scientific Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 6 Pro User Manual

Ethernet port overview

The Ethernet port of the instrument supports:
• Static IP network service with subnet mask, primary and secondary data network service (DNS),
and default gateway settings, or dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) network service.
• mDNS/DNS for local domains.
Note: Because mDNS is limited to direct network connections, an instrument configured 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 Configuration [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.

Third-party software

Before installing third-party software on the computer running the desktop software, confirm that the
third-party software will not do the following:
