• LAN connection using DHCP
1. To use DHCP-configured LAN, select DHCP in the Device network settings area of the QIAcube
Connect App.
Note : When using DHCP-configured LAN, the network settings for Q-Base will be obtained
automatically from the DHCP server. No further input is required.
2. Proceed with step 12 in Section 4.3.1 (page 12).
4.3.2 Connecting Q-Base to your network using personal computer
This section describes how to initially set up Q-Base within your network and ensure the connection
to your QIAcube Connect instrument, without using Bluetooth.
Note : If you intend to connect Q-Base to your LAN, and your LAN does not support automatic
assignment of IP addresses (not supporting DHCP), you might require support from an IT
professional.
1. To connect your Q-Base to a wired network, plug the LAN cable into ethernet port ETH1.
To connect your Q-Base to a wireless network, insert the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth dongle into one of
the Q-Base USB ports (see Section 3.1, “External features of Q-Base”).
2. Use a LAN cable to directly connect Q-Base to your personal computer using ETH0 (see
Section 3.1, “External features of Q-Base”).
Important
: Do not use Ethernet port ETH0 for the LAN connection.
