AlinIQ NCi - Determining Success or Failure
After you have used NCi to configure connectivity, you can test the connection.
Follow the steps shown here:
• To check a wired network connection, place the i-STAT Alinity v Analyzer in
the base station that is connected to the facility’s network and power on the
analyzer. On the analyzer screen, in the upper right corner, the ethernet
symbol displays indicating an active connection.
• To check a wireless network connection, remove the i-STAT Alinity v Analyzer
from the base station. On the analyzer screen, in the upper right corner, the
wireless internet symbol displays. This symbol represents a strong signal.
Some or all of the bars in the signal should be filled in, depending
upon the signal strength in the location. A location that displays the
symbol with all bars empty represents no signal. If the symbol
displays with all bars empty, move the analyzer to a location closer to the wireless
access point.
