Equipment Overview
2000966-386D Dash™ 3000/4000/5000 2-9
Centralscope Central Station
The Centralscope central station accepts patient data from monitors and allows bed-
to-bed communication via a network connection. The central station may have a
built-in, two-inch writer or a laser printer. For more information, refer to the
Centralscope central station operator’s manual.
CIC Pro Clinical Information Center
The CIC Pro central station accepts patient data from monitors and allows bed-to-bed
communication via a network connection. For more information, refer to the CIC Pro
clinical information center operator’s manual.
Wireless LAN System
CAUTION
DATA LOSS—Operation of an access point or wireless LAN device
in close proximity to microwave ovens may cause gaps in
waveforms, loss of waveforms or “
NO COMM ”at the central station
due to radio-frequency (RF) interference. Isolate the monitor from
the interfering source or device or remove the interfering source or
device.
NOTE
Wireless monitors moved from room to room must be configured as ROVER or
ROVER/COMBO .
The wireless LAN system allows monitors to roam (within the access point coverage
area) and maintain a strong, seamless connection to the network. Access points
connect wireless monitors to the wired network infrastructure within the building.
The areas covered by each access point overlaps to ensure continuous coverage.
Wireless monitors perform the same as monitors directly connected to the network.
Hardwired (directly connected to the network with a cable) or wireless network
communication is transparent to the user. It is not indicated on the screen.
Wireless communication automatically occurs when the network cable is
disconnected from a wireless monitor. Hardwired communication automatically
occurs when the network cable is connected to the wireless monitor and the network.
Each mode of network communication is established within three seconds of
connection or disconnection from the wired network.
The hardwired network connection has priority when a monitor is wireless
configured, but hardwired to the network.
If you experience any network communication issues, try the following:
„
Make sure the monitor is in the wireless network coverage area.
„ Try moving the monitor to a different access point location in the wireless
network.
