Specifying the Communication Protocol
The instrument can communicate with a personal computer (using the COM port) or a network (using the
Ethernet port). One of two communication protocols can be selected:
•
An ITC proprietary communication protocol that allows records to be transferred from the
instrument and allows the instrument to be configured using ITC software such as HEMOCHRON
Configuration Manager
. This protocol is supported over COM or NET.
•
A communication protocol that meets CLSI POCT-1A standards. This protocol allows the instrument
to communicate with any software or device that is compliant with POCT-1A. This protocol is
supported over NET only. If
Port COM
is selected, the following message is displayed:
Note
: If the CLSI POCT-1A compliant communication protocol is used, communication must be
initiated from the instrument. If the ITC proprietary communication protocol is used,
communication must be initiated from either the personal computer or the network.
