Configuration Setup
A Tek-CARE120 point can be in three states.
Detectable:
When points are in the
Detectable
state, the central is constantly polling those points,
searching for attached stations. If a station is detected, the system assumes that the station type conforms
to the standards found in the
Station Connection Instructions on page 17
.
Exists:
If a point is marked as
Exists
, the point is supervised and the system assumes that a station is con-
nected to that point. If a station goes missing or is not detected, a fault will annunciate for that point.
Disabled:
If a point is marked as
Disabled
, the system does not look for station attachment at the point.
Configuration Methods
There are two ways to set up a Tek-CARE120 configuration. The first and simplest method requires sta-
tions to be wired to the room controllers as shown in
Figure 1 on page 1
. If all stations are connected to
their room controllers on the default points, then the room controllers and stations installed on the sys-
tem can be automatically detected and put into use. The only required programming in this instance is
system customization. This scenario will be referred to as an
Autodetect Setup
.
The second method is used when custom wiring is required because multiple stations that create the
same type of call are connected to a single room controller. Custom wiring scenarios include facilities
that have three or more beds per room (requiring multiple SF121 Single Patient Stations and/or SF122
Dual Patient Stations per room) or in an area where two or more Code Blue or Emergency switches are
connected to the same room controller. This scenario will be referred to as a
Custom Setup
.
Note
: Custom Tek-CARE120 installations require a
Plus or Elite
license for the LS450
Config Tool.
Using the Config Tool Programming Software
The system configuration resides on the Tek-CARE system. Any changes made to the configuration
using the Config Tool must be
Committed
to the system to take effect. The home screen for the Config
Tool is shown in
Figure 13 on page 23
.
The
Page Selection Pane
of the Config Tool may not contain all options shown here. The options illus-
trated in
Figure 13 on page 23
represent all available licenses that may be purchased for a Tek-CARE
system. The selection in the
Page Selection Pane
determines which page appears in the Config Tool.
Within the
Pages
are
Editing Panes
, or areas that contain information that may be edited. Use the but-
tons shown on
page 25
to interact with editing panes.
Pay close attention to the icons in the lower left corner of the Config Tool screen. These icons will alert
you to when configurations are synced to the system, where the configuration is stored, if the con-
figuration is saved, and if the NC475 Tek-CARE Appliance Server is maintaining a connection to the
Tek-CARE Network.
In addition to the areas shown on the home screen, note the menu bar at the top of the window that con-
tains the options
File
,
Tools, Utilities
, and
Help
. These menus are described on the following pages.
