WIRELESS NETWORK OPERATION
VF6 Infinity Vista 3-3
Wireless Network Operation
A networked Vista monitor transmits and receives data with the help of a wireless
LAN PC card installed in the Memory Card slot on the monitor’s side panel. The
wireless card communicates with access points which are strategically placed within a
monitoring unit in order to cover the desired transmission area.
When operating in network mode, the monitor continuously sends the following
information to other devices within the network:
z Parameter values (including values reported as *** ).
z Waveforms and their scales.
z Current bedside alarm limits and settings.
z Alarm and status messages.
If the network includes a central station, the monitor is identified on the central
display by a transmission icon.
NOTE:
z Patient name and ID continuously identify the patient on central displays,
recordings, and data bases.
z If a wireless monitor is transmitting data to a central station but has not been
assigned a viewport at that station, the message Not monitored by central
appears in the monitor’s message area.
z When the battery charge of an undocked wireless Infinity monitor becomes low,
the central station, to which the monitor is assigned, issues an adivsory alarm.
z If you change central stations, that is, move the monitor to a room that is
monitored by a different central station, the original central station blanks the
monitor’s data and displays the message Bed Disconnected.
z Network setup and configuration are Service functions performed during
network installation. For information about installation and configuration of
wireless components, refer to the Dräger publication “Infinity Network
Planning, Design, and Installation Handbook-- Wireless Extensions
Supplement.”
