  • Page 23 Setup without using an existing network The simplest setup that does not require any existing network is a point-to- point connection between CELLCYTE Computer Box and the Laptop/PC run- ning CELLCYTE Studio via a dedicated Ethernet cable. However, this setup is limited in allowing only a single Laptop/PC running CELLCYTE Studio at a time.
  • Page 24 This setup should give you good transfer speed however you are limited in po- sition to the length of your Ethernet cable and one connected Studio PC at a time. Hint: If your Laptop/PC running CELLCYTE Studio is connected (in addition) to a network that is connected to the internet you can use your DNA cloud user login.
