5 Interfaces

LAN / RS232 Interface
The LAN/RS232 system interface has two fully isolated ports:
•
The LAN connection can be used for connecting the monitor to a PC for configuration or
upgrade using the Support Tool, for connecting the monitor to an OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace
Perinatal obstetrical information system on a network, and for future system expansion.
• The RS232 connection can be used for connecting the monitor to an obstetrical information and
surveillance system, such as OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace Perinatal.
If the fetal monitor is connected via a LAN connection to OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace Perinatal or
another obstetrical information system, the RS232 interface can be used interdependently to connect
e.g. an EMR system on read-only basis. The system connected to the RS232 interface in this case
cannot alter any data (such as ADT data or the date and time setting) or interfere with functions of the
monitor, but is able to read output data. The obstetrical information system connected via LAN has
priority.
Dual PS/2 Interface
This interface provides two PS/2 ports to enable the monitor to be connected to off-the-shelf, "plug-
and- play" input devices:
•
Mouse: any specified PS/2 mouse or trackball may be used for navigation and data entry.
• Computer keyboard: a PS/2 computer keyboard can be used for data entry instead of the on-
screen pop-up keyboard.
MIB / RS232 Interface
The MIB interface (IEEE P1073) provides two independently configurable ports for connecting
Tympanic Temperature and provides the data export/data out functionality.
If the fetal monitor is connected via a LAN connection to OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace Perinatal or
another obstetrical information and surveillance system, the RS232 interface can be used
independently to connect e.g. an EMR system on read-only basis. The system connected to the RS232
interface in this case cannot alter any data (such as ADT data or the date and time setting) or interfere
with functions of the monitor, but is able to read output data. The obstetrical information and
surveillance system connected via LAN has priority.
