If required, adjust the operating voltage to the mains voltage. To do so, switch off
the device and disconnect the mains plug from the electric socket.
}
Place the device on its side.
}
Use a coin or other round object to turn the slot on the voltage selector switch and
adjust it to the correct operating voltage.
ü
The device is ready for operation.

Connecting the device to a network
You can use the Ethernet port and the management software Biometra TSuite to con-
nect the thermal cycler to a local network. Please observe the minimum requirements of
this software for the firmware version of the thermal cycler.
An Ethernet cable is available as an optional accessory. The minimum requirements for
the Ethernet cable are as follows: Performance category Cat 5e, cable type STP, length
≤30 m.
The PC's network interface controller should comply with the auto-crossover standard
IEEE 803.2ab_1999. Otherwise, the network cable must be crossed. More recent net-
work interface controllers usually meet this standard.
It is possible to connect the device to a computer via the internal network in the house.
When delivered, the device would usually be configured with a dynamic IP address and a
DHCP server.
Network connection via DHCP
}
Use an Ethernet cable and a router to connect the device and a computer to the
DHCP server.
Alternatively, you can connect the computer and thermal cycler to the internal network
of your organization, provided your company’s IT policies permit this.
Network connection with fixed
IP address
As an alternative to the DHCP configuration, the thermal cycler can also be addressed di-
rectly.
}
Change the settings of the thermal cycler to a network connection with fixed IP ad-
dress (e.g. 192.168.0.30, subnet mask 255.255.255.0).
}
Change the settings of the network interface controller in the network adapter set-
tings in Windows to a fixed IP(V4) (e.g. 192.168.0.10, subnet mask
255.255.255.0).
If only one thermal cycler is controlled via the software, the thermal cycler can also com-
municate directly with a PC via a network-cable-based peer-to-peer connection. Proceed
as follows:
