The loss of signal or access to bandwidth of one particu-
lar client may vary depending on one or more of the
following situations: the type and number of other clients,
the performance of the Access Point, the presence of
electromagnetic disturbances, and other potential inter-
fering factors, e.g., concrete walls.
The Accu-Chek Inform II meter uses a burst-like commu-
nication protocol that will only consume bandwidth if
there is actually data to be transferred. Compared to
other applications, such as Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP) or multi-media applications, the meter’s band-
width consumption is minimal. If the WLAN that the
Accu-Chek Inform II meter seeks to connect to is
degraded, the meter design minimizes the impact on
functionality.
Technical implementation Prior to connecting any wireless device to a wireless net-
work, it is recommended that a WLAN site survey be per-
formed. The goal of a WLAN site survey is to ensure that
Access Points will provide enough coverage and perfor-
mance to support any new radio frequency (RF) applica-
tion or device. The survey will also detail RF signals,
including all existing WLANs along with any competing
RF signals and interferences (building structure related
and other wireless equipment / devices).
As part of an RF implementation of the Accu-Chek
Inform II system, it is recommended that at minimum one
base unit be hard wired per floor. A networked base unit
provides redundancy if a wireless network malfunctions
or loses service. If the Accu-Chek Inform II meter with RF
is used in an area with low signal or interferences, it is
recommended to install a connected base unit for redun-
dancy. The redundancy of the connected base unit allows
immediate transmission of patient results when the meter
is docked.
The facility wireless network infrastructure (hardware
and software) is integral in maintaining wireless com-
munication. Prior to changing or upgrading the facility
wireless network infrastructure, contact Accu-Chek
Customer Care for technical assessment and assistance.
