7. V-Station considerations

a. The V-Station does not require configuration via a PC.

Nearly all configuration options can be set using the

menus on the unit. However, it may be more

convenient to administer the device from the PC due to

the limited size of the LCD screen.

b. To distribute templates to other V-Stations, you will need

to place all V-Stations on a network and administer

them via the PC. Alternatively, templates can be stored

on the PC and transferred to each V-Station separately,

via the Host, Aux, or Ethernet ports.

c. To access some advanced features such as the

transaction log, you will need to communicate with the

V-Station from the PC.

d. Connecting to a V-Station via Ethernet should be done

by a network administrator or one familiar with TCP/IP

operations. The V-Station should be assigned an

appropriate IP address or be set to use DHCP*. Caution

should be exercised when manually assigning IP

addresses: it should be appropriate for the given

network and should not conflict with other devices or

PCs on the network. Bioscrypt recommends isolating all

V-Stations on a closed Ethernet network, both for

security reasons and to avoid conflicts with other

computers and devices on the network.

* DHCP may not be available in some firmware versions.
