Wireless Connection Soft Key
Send the PCU to the Biomedical Engineering Department to resolve wireless connectivity issues.
The Wireless Connection soft key is inactive
(grayed out) for one of the following reasons:
• System maintenance was used to disable the wire
less connection.
• The CF card flashing process was done w
ithout the programming of the proper AppConfig file (v9.12
or later).
• A valid network configuration has not bee
n transferred.
To enable the wireless connection, consult the system maintenance s
oftware.
Wireless Connection Scenarios
At various locations, the PCU may or may not be able to complete a wireless connection. When connected,
the connection icon lights. If the PCU cannot connect, the connection icon does not light, and device data
is stored until a connection can be completed.
NOTE:
If there is no wireless connection, PCU data (such as log information)
is stored until a connection is re-
established. System history and CQI logs are stored in non-volatile compact flash memory and are
retained until memory is full and older items are purged.
The following table explains how the pump functions under various wireless scenarios.
