11.5.6 CARESCAPE Network communication issues
Traffic types
Two main types of communication occurs in the CARESCAPE Network: Broadcast and Unicast.
• Broadcast traffic is sent from one device to all devices on the network. Examples of
CARESCAPE broadcast traffic are device discovery, alarms, and time synchronization.
• Unicast traffic is sent from one device to another specific device on the network. An
example of CARESCAPE unicast traffic is patient waveforms.
Flow
• Upstream broadcast: The patient monitor sends broadcasts to other network devices.
• Downstream broadcast: The patient monitor receives broadcasts from other network
devices.
Possible cause Recommended action
Incompatible module Refer to the patient monitor’s supplemental information manual document
to see the list of compatible modules.
Faulty E-Module Frame Replace E-Module Frame or repair it with existing service parts.
Possible cause Recommended action
The external ePort cable is loose
or defective.
Check that the external ePort cable is intact and properly connected to the
PDM module and to the ePort connector in the CPU unit.
