System Configuration
Communication Setup – Data Communication Locations (cont'd.)
Field Description
Phone Number Identifies the location’s phone number. This field is
available only if the selected device is
Modem .
Protocol Determines the protocol to use to communicate with
the device. Options are:
• A5
• CSI
• DCP
Select CSI for MUSE connections and A5 for
CardioSoft/CS connections.
DCP is available only if the selected device is LAN .
NOTE:
• When using DCP to connect to the MUSE 8.0.1
system and get orders, the MUSE system only
returns orders that have a location value.
• When using DCP to connect to the MUSE 8.0.1
system to get orders, the MUSE system does
not return the order priority (Normal, Preop,
Stat).
This system can use several protocols to communicate test data and retrieve patients
or orders. You should choose the protocol based on systems with which you want
to connect, the data you want to send and receive, and the connection type (LAN,
wireless, modem, or serial).
• DCP
This is a newer protocol that is faster than CSI and A5. DCP does not require this
system to use a fixed IP address. It is currently compatible with the MUSE 8.0
system or later, and other GE Healthcare systems that support DCP. It supports
retrieving patient demographics and orders and sending patient tests. You can
use it with LAN or wireless connections.
• CSI
This is a protocol that receives a connection from a server and requires a fixed
IP address. It is currently compatible with all versions of the MUSE system and
CardioSoft/CS system v6.6 and later. It supports retrieving patient demographics
and orders and sending patient tests. You can use it with LAN, wireless, modem,
and serial connections.
