NEXUS CALL SYSTEM

2.1 Master Station

Start your installation by powering up the device you will use for the Master Station. There are two
current hardware options:

2.1.1 Station Hardware

Nexus can operate on a Rugged Tablet (NDP-21) for an easily configurable desktop solution, or on a
versatile Control Box (TVB-21) that allows a monitor or any size to be connected. A System Controller
(NCON-11) includes a Control Box, Paging Transmitter, USB hub and failsafe circuitry in one housing, and
will allow the user to interface with Nexus using a touch screen or wireless keyboard & mouse.

Nexus Rugged Tablet (NDP-21)

The Rugged Tablet comes with a docking station that allows convenient placements on a nurse desk. The
back of the docking station includes three USB connections, allowing a DON-30 or ZP-01(M) to connect a
network, and a GP2009TR paging transmitter to signal paging signals. The ethernet port allows for a LAN
and central database of multiple Nexus stations.

Setup

•

Connect the power adapter provided

•

Insert DON-30 or connect ZP-01(M) to launch Nexus

The docking station has three USB ports for a
receiver, paging transmitter and data backup.
The LAN allows connecting to a central
database.
