Connectivity
The system offers the possibility to be connected to a laptop with a fixed IP address
or to your local network (DHCP protocol/fixed IP address) via an Ethernet port. The DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is an “automatic configuration” of a device anytime
it connects to an IP Network. This “automatic configuration” is called allocation. The
system is automatically recognized and configured so that the networks resources can
be used. Check with your local IT resources which type of connection is best suited to you.
Change network connection settings
1. For a direct connection, change the network settings if necessary
(default IP address: 192.168.1.69).
2. For network connection, activate DHCP via the DHCP activation button.
Duplicate user interface in a browser
Once connected:
1. Go to your browser. For best browsing performance, Chrome
®
is recommended.
2. Enter the IP address of your system which can be found in the connectivity pop-up screen.
Note: The view from a laptop enables a user to view the Q-POD display remotely. Dispensing
operations cannot be conducted remotely for safety reasons.
Date Time & Language
The norm ISO
®
8601 has been used as a reference for a standardized way of presenting dates
and times.
Date
Calendar date representations are shown in the form “2018-11-06” [YYYY-MM-DD]. [YYYY]
indicates a four-digit year. [MM] indicates a two-digit month of the year, 01 through 12. [DD]
indicates a two-digit day of that month, 01 through 31.

on the
year
title to display years.
2. Select the year, this then displays months.
3. Select the month, this then displays the days.
4. Finally select the day to confirm the date setting.
Time ZONE

side with all the major cities within this time zone.

zone.
The Milli-Q
®
system is now configured to display current local time and automatically updates
when daylight saving time applies.
Time
The time is set and displayed in a 24h clock format. A time of day is written in the 24-hour
notation in the form hh:mm (for example 14:23), where hh (00 to 23) is the number of full hours
that have passed since midnight, mm (00 to 59) is the number of full minutes that have passed
since the last full hour.
