Exchange server for service operations. There are 4 ways to connect to the IT network:
•
Wired Point-to-Point
•
Wired Automatic

Wired Point-to-Point
This selection allows the generator to communicate directly with another computer
through an Ethernet cable that is connected from the generator to the computer.
Wired Automatic
This selection allows the generator to communicate on the IT network through an
Ethernet cable that is connected from the generator to a router or the facility’s DHCP
server. The generator is automatically assigned an IP address by the facility’s DHCP server.
Wired Manual
This selection allows the generator to communicate on the IT network through an
Ethernet cable that is connected from the generator to a router or the facility’s DHCP
server. The technician can manually set a static IP address, network mask, and default
gateway address.
Wireless
This selection allows a wireless connection from the generator to a router or to a DHCP
server via a WiFi access point broadcasting a non-hidden SSID. The technician selects
which SSID to connect to and enters a WPA2 password to enable the connection. The
generator is automatically assigned an IP address by the facility’s DHCP server.
Time Zone
Select a region from the drop-down menu to set the time zone used by the system clock.
The time and date are originally set during the initial connection to Valleylab Exchange (see
page 3-3).
