Windows XP Installation Instructions
If you see either of the first two status windows above, your IT department may
need to make specific configurations active on the computer for communication to
occur.
The C-DiGit Blot Scanner requires a network based connection between the
instrument and the computer. The C-DiGit Blot Scanner uses IPv4 and IPv6 Link-
Local Addressing to automatically create an IP network without any user
configuration or additional servers. For this addressing to occur properly, the
following settings must be configured:
1. Port 50000 must be open.
Communication port 50000 is utilized as the default port for the UPnP
(Universal Plug and Play) protocol. This service is noted to hold this network
port consistently open, listening for devices that support the technology. This
port simplifies intelligent device connection to network environments. The
network port 50000 makes it possible for devices physically connected to a
single machine to be shared with other clients under the same network.
2. Port 5353 needs to be left open.
This is required for Bonjour, mDNSResponder to auto discover instrument.
3. Any firewall should not block any part of Image Studio or the Java software
platform that is installed with Image Studio.
4. Any firewall should not block port 50000.
Connection Problems Using USB Cable
1. Use only the USB cable included with the C-DiGit Blot Scanner.
2. Image Studio for C-Digit should be installed on Windows before the USB cable
is connected between the C-Digit instrument and the PC.
Displays the network status when the C-
DiGit Blot Scanner is attached and

Note the IP Address starting with
