Connection between
Management Console
and the instrument cannot
be established.
Make sure that the QIAsymphony SP/AS instruments are switched on and that the instruments
are properly connected to the network.
Certain antivirus software has the functionality to monitor and filter communication on port 80
(HTTP). This may lead to communication problems between the QIAsymphony Management
Console and the instrument.
Possible solutions:
Change the communications port on the instrument from port 80 to another port.
Disable the HTTP port filtering function in the antivirus software.
For more information about errors that may occur when using the Management Console, see the

Set is unsigned, the error message

the case.
