How to Disable Cloud Login Feature on the MiSeq i100 and NovaSeq X Series
Background
The MiSeq i100 and NovaSeq X Series instruments require users login to the Control Software using either a Local or Cloud login. If the instrument is not connected to the internet and the Cloud login is not required, use the following steps to disable the Cloud login feature and only use the Local login.
The Cloud login should only be disabled if the instrument is completely disconnected from an internet connection. This procedure disables all Cloud upload features including both Proactive and BaseSpace features. For more information on Proactive, see the following resources:
