Osmo1™ Single-Sample Micro-Osmometer Service Guide
5.11 Setting up LIS communication
If the lab uses a Laboratory Information System (LIS),
you can configure the Osmo1 to communicate with it.
The Osmo1 can either function in a server or client mode
with LIS; communication can be set to uni-directional or
bi-directional. See Appendix E for more information.
Send-results mode
You can configure the system to send results to the LIS
system via Automatic or Manual mode:
• Automatic sends results immediately after each test. If
the communication link becomes disconnected, the
results store as Pending LIS, indicated by a number in
the LIS indicator circle. When the link is restored, the
data is sent, and there is no indicator number.
• Manual mode accumulates test results in the Results
database until a user sends it to the LIS from the
Results screen.
LIS connection indicator colors
Colors in LIS symbols on the Osmo1 screen indicate the
status of the connection:
• Green shows a successful and ready LIS connection.
• Gray shows a disabled LIS connection.
• Red shows a disconnected or error condition on the
LIS connection.
Configuring the LIS connection
To set up the LIS connection:
1. From the Settings menu, select LIS/LAN.
The system prompts you to log in.
2. Select the Admin user and enter the appropriate
password.
The LIS/LAN screen displays, with the LIS tab in
front (Figure 34).

3. On the LIS tab, enter the IP address.
NOTE: Tap the keyboard icon to the right of the
Server IP Address field to display a numeric
keypad (Figure 35). Use the keypad to enter
the appropriate value, and then tap Enter
save the value and close the keypad.

4. In a similar manner, enter the port number in the
Server Port field.
5. Tap Ping to test the server connection.
NOTE: The Ping indicator displays green for three
seconds when a successful ping is initiated,
and then returns to gray. If the ping is
unsuccessful, the indicator displays red.
6. Select other settings appropriate for the lab:
• Mode: Client or Server
• Send Results: Automatically or Manually
• LIS Mode: Bidirectional or Unidirectional
