2.1 - AlinIQ NCi - Network Connecvity for i‑STAT

The Network Connecvity ulity for i‑STAT (AlinIQ NCi) is used to congure the instrument to connect to

wired and wireless networks. The NCi ulity package must be downloaded from the Abbo Point of Care

website. It is best pracce to load NCi onto a computer that is installed behind the healthcare facility's

rewall, and that has anvirus soware installed on it.

The following is an overview of the steps required to perform the conguraon:

1. Download the NCi from Abbo Point of Care and install on a Windows PC.

2. Use the NCi to create NC (ancc) le that contains the network parameters and security credenals

required by the instrument to connect to the facility network.

3. Upload the ancc les to the instruments.

Before beginning:

• Read this document in its enrety.

• Share this document with the IT department. Their help will be needed to:

￮ dene how the instrument is to connect (wired, wireless, both) to the network

￮ dene the network to which the instruments are to connect (SSID, authencaon protocol)

￮ supply network access credenals for the network (that is, username, password, security

cercates/keys)

￮ idenfy connecon details (proxy server, IP address and DNS server address modes, etc.)

￮ a worksheet, found at the end of this secon, is provided as an aid to gather the informaon

needed to create the ancc le via the NCi ulity.

Have available:

• i‑STAT Alinity base staon

• FAT32 formaed USB 2.0 memory sck

Note: Some preformaed USB ash drives may not work with the Alinity system. To

avoid issues, reformat the drive using a Windows PC before using the USB ash drive

with the Alinity system.

• computer running Microso Windows 7 or Windows 10 and Internet Explorer 11 or Edge browser

Aer securing all of the above:

package will download to your desktop, unless you specify otherwise. See the instrucon below.
