Connecting the Capsule Neuron to the network
Connecting to a wired network
1. Plug one end of the LAN cable into the Ethernet connector, located on the rear panel of the
Capsule Neuron, and marked with a yellow line. In the illustrations, on page 17 for example,
this connector is labeled .
2. Plug the other end of the same cable into the network socket (typically on the wall).
Connecting to a wireless network
No special procedures are required on the Capsule Neuron for wireless connection. However, each
Capsule Neuron must be configured in the Web Administration Console to use the wireless
network. Refer to the “DataCaptor System Administrator’s Guide” for more.
Checking the wired connection
On the Ethernet jack, there are two small LEDs. When you plug in the Ethernet connection cable,
you can check the connection through the behavior of these LEDs:
Checking the wireless connection
You cannot check the wireless connection using Capsule Neuron hardware components. You must
use the network connection information displayed on the screen, and described in the Clinical
User’s Guide for the Mobile Vitals Plus application or the Status application.
Connecting a vital signs monitor to the Capsule Neuron
Before you connect
Before you connect a vital signs monitor to the Capsule Neuron, you must program its Capsule Device
ID Module (DIM). A Capsule DIM is required for all devices connected to the Capsule Neuron. For
information on how to program a Capsule DIM, refer to the “DataCaptor System Administrator’s
Guide”. The Device ID Module (DIM) supports plug-and-play connectivity. Its automatic device
identification feature allows users to connect and re-connect any biomedical device to the Capsule
Neuron with ease. The separate DIM attached to each device through a cable assembly allows the
Capsule Neuron to:
• automatically identify the attached device
