Onboarding process for new devices
The onboarding process is available when a MinION Mk1C is first switched on to guide users through setting up a network connection, logging into MinKNOW, enabling remote access and running a hardware check.
-
Update to the latest version of MinKNOW for the MinION Mk1C, which supports the latest chemistry, bug fixes and performance enhancements.
Please visit our Oxford Nanopore FAQ and Help Centre if you are having difficulties updating MinKNOW on the MinION Mk1C.
-
Select the language for the device.
-
Choose the network connection to connect to the internet.
We strongly recommend users to connect their device to the internet to allow them to log into their MinKNOW account.
There are two options:
Connect using WiFi: click WiFi and select the network to join and enter password, if prompted.
Connect using Ethernet: plug-in the Ethernet cable and click Ethernet.
Note: If your network configuration requires you to use a static IP address, click Offline and configure the network through the main Network Settings page.
-
Log into your MinKNOW account using your Nanopore account credentials.
-
Configure remote access from the options displayed.
These settings can be altered again using the Host settings after the onboarding flow has ended.
-
Complete a hardware check to ensure the device is working correctly for sequencing experiments.
A hardware check only needs to be completed once. However, it can be skipped for users who will not be using their device for sequencing.
