Bed Frame Features
Hillrom Progressa ICU Hospital Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 15) 75
Some beds are equipped with an external wireless module, see below. The content below applies to the
external wireless module. For beds with an internal wireless module, see “Wireless Connectivity
Specifications—External Wireless Module” on page 129.
External Module Indicators
If the bed is receiving AC power, the initialization process is complete (at least 3 minutes have passed
since power was connected), and any of the indicators are red, there is a network connection issue. If
any of the indicators are off, there is a software issue. If either of these conditions occur, contact your IT
or Service department.
The table below identifies the different states of the indicators:
When you plug the bed into AC power, the module’s
three indicators—Wireless, Connected, and
Location—will all flash red, green, and off for two
cycles (this may take up to 30 seconds to occur). This
lets you know that the initialization process has
started. The module first connects to the facility’s
wireless network, then to SmartSync System, and then
to the RTLS. When the initialization process is
complete, each indicator will either be green or red
depending on its connection status (see the table
below). The indicators will stay on until AC power is
disconnected or an issue occurs with the module or its
connections.
It may take up to 3 minutes for the initialization
process to complete. During most of this time, the
indicators will be off.
