3.2. Configuration of the Heska Element COAG
™
Analyzer
•
A small ‘N’ flashes on the lower right-hand corner, when no LIS connection
can be established.
•
A small ‘T’ flashes on the lower right-hand corner, when the LIS is not
responding.
If the connection is lost or offline, reconnection is attempted at pre-defined time
intervals.
IP Address
Type your LIS server application’s IP Address here. This field is forced
editable, if data export has been enabled.
IP Port Type your LIS server application’s IP port number. This field is forced editable,
if data export has been enabled.
Instrument
The instrument section in the screen specifies whether to obtain an IP
address automatically from the network or to specify one manually.
IP Origin
By default the IP origin is set to Obtain automatically. It is strongly recom-
mended to leave this setting at the default value. As the Heska Element COAG
™
Analyzer is equipped with Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA), it is not neces-
sary to alter the remaining settings in the Instrument section (the Heska Element
COAG
™
Analyzer will work on networks without a DNS server).
!
Note that setting a fixed IP address as IP Origin will produce error mes-
sages if the instrument cannot connect to the network. If you set the IP
Origin to a fixed value, you must contact you local IT administrator to
obtain the values for the IP Address, Subnet mask and Default gateway.
If you have a strict IT setup at your facility, and need to white-list your Heska
Element COAG
™
Analyzer, the DNS or APIPA automatically obtained IP address
for the Heska Element COAG
™
Analyzer will be listed in the field Instrument IP
Address. The MAC address of your Heska Element COAG
™
Analyzer can be
found on the Service page.
i
An important note on Practice Assigned ID: The LIS field, Practice Assigned
ID, is a unique identifier (key) for any LIS to handle exported data. For this
field, the Heska Element COAG
™
Analyzer uses the Patient ID the operator
entered. Therefore, when using the Analyzer in a data export setup, it is highly
recommended to apply the user option to require Patient ID (See
Section 3.2.4
).
