Smart-Vue Network Receiver (TCP/IP) Installation Guide
6
This installation guide does not cover the installation of Smart-Vue
end-point modules or Smart-Vue Server/Smart-Vue Client software. Please
see the documentation (e.g., the Thermo Scientific Smart-Vue Server/Client
/USB-Serial Wireless Receiver manual and the Thermo Scientific Smart-Vue
Software User Manual on the CD-ROM) provided with your software if
you need information regarding Smart-Vue Server/Smart-Vue Client
software installation.
For the purposes of this installation guide, we assume the following:
• Smart-Vue Server/Smart-Vue Client software is installed and configured,
and you have access rights to make changes.
• You have experience with networks, COM ports and TCP/IP. If not,
contact and work with your system administrator.
• The personal computer (PC) running Smart-Vue Server software runs
continuously, 24/7/365, and should be connected to an Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS) that protects against power surges and provides
power to back up the PC and components.
• The AC adapter used for your network receiver (if applicable) should
also be plugged into the UPS.
Note If your network receiver is on the other side of a router or a remote
firewall, then UDP ports 30718, 43282 and 43283 may need to be added to
the firewall's exclusion list. You may experience trouble opening this COM
port if these UDP ports are not excluded. Please check with your system
administrator for help.
• The UPS is also recommended as a power backup for your
communication/network systems.
• Weekly manual system testing (e.g., pulling a probe, verifying the
communications system is working) is recommended.
• Recommended maintenance and calibration procedures should be
followed.
• If you are storing cold products, Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends
use of a back-up cooling system (e.g., CO2 or LN2) to maintain freezer
chamber temperature below the critical level should a power failure
occur. Contact your local sales representative for more information.
