When configured for Host Network communication, the HM5 can send results to another computer on
the network (unidirectional mode), or accept work orders from and send results to a computer
(bidirectional mode). The computer must be running compatible software to accept the result
information and optionally send order information. For a list of compatible software, visit the Abaxis

3.6.4.1 Personal Computer (PC)
The
Host Network > Personal Computer (PC)
settings enable the HM5 to send results one-way
(unidirectional) to a network-enabled Personal Computer (PC) system or software such as a practice
management system. In this mode, the HM5 cannot accept work list orders (bidirectional
communication) from a PC system.
When sending results, the HM5 establishes an outbound connection to a
specified IP address and port (see below). The receiving PC must be
running a service that listens for incoming connections on the IP address
and port. The local network administrator or software vendor can provide
the necessary IP address and port values.
To configure the HM5 to send results to a PC system:
1. In the Host Network screen, set the Networked PC field to
Active
.
2. Enter the PC Remote IP Address and PC Remote Port number, as
provided by your local network administrator or software vendor.
