Configuring a Monitor
This section explains how to configure a patient monitor. The procedure
addresses use in both types of patient monitoring system configurations:
„
Stand-alone patient monitor: The monitor is not interconnected to
other patient monitoring system devices, and
„
Networked patient monitor: The monitor is interconnected to other
patient monitoring system devices for the sake of sharing patient
data.
NOTE
The Unity Network is a purchased option.
The following procedure explains how to configure a patient monitor on
the Unity Network. The monitor communicates with central stations,
and other related equipment over the Unity Network. This network is
essentially an Ethernet implementation.

„
experiencing communication problems on the Unity Network, or
„
adding a new monitor to the Unity Network.

„
know that the new monitor’s software revision is compatible with the
other monitors connected to the Unity Network.
„

(telemetry) monitoring or both.
