Chapter 5. Set up and test the Process
5. Set up and test the Process
Before your first event procedure, you will want to test
to ensure that everything is working correctly.
Set up the system as follows:
1.
Get a URL-key from NorthEast Monitoring.
2.
Determine your password and user name
3.
Set up your FTP site using the user name and pass-
word supplied by Event Decoder.
4.
Install the PCPatch and place the URL-key in its
directory. The default location is c:\nm\bin.
5.
Install LX Event. The default location is c:\nm|bin.
6.
Install the Event Decoder (and WinSCP) and place
the URL-key in its directory. The default location is
c:\nm\eventpgm. Do not run the Decoder at this
time.
Test a DR400 to ensure it is working:
1.
Use the PCPatch to erase the DR400, pair the
DR400 with a Gateway, change the DR400 record-
ing mode to Event and enter a new patient ID.
2.
Start the DR400 via the PCPatch and remove it from
the docking station. When the DR400 begins to
flash green, it is starting to record.
3.
Plug the paired Gateway into a location where the
right-most light is flashing 2 or more at a time.
4.
Record an event on the DR400 by pressing the but-
ton
5.
After the event has finished recording, hold the but-
ton down on the DR400 until it starts to flash orange
very quickly (about 10 seconds). It is now transmit-
ting to the Gateway. You should be able to observe
other lights on the Gateway while it communicates
with the DR400.
If the Gateway does not respond with flashing
lights, your Gateway and DR400 are either not
paired or your DR400 is not recording in Event
mode.
6.
Login to your FTP site and look for the event files.
There will be 2 files for each event. One files ends
in “dat” and the other “cmd”.
If you do not see the files, try transmitting again. If
the second time does not work, there may be a prob-
lem with the way your FTP site is set up or your
login information.
7.
If the files are on the FTP site, you should now run
the Event Decoder to download the files to your
local system. You may need to refresh your FTP site
view to see if the files are deleted after being down-
loaded.
8.
After a few minutes, the Event Decoder should have
decrypted and moved a single event file to the LX
Event folder. Open the LX Event utility and go to
the Incoming Files window to view the file.
If you do not see a file in the Incoming Files win-
dow, Go to c:\nm\ftp\event to see the event file is
there. If it is there, the LX Event may be looking for
incoming files in a different location.
