• Remote Listener Mode: for remotely monitoring an OMNI Smart
Programmer in a clinical setting
o A particular case of Remote Mode in which the OMNI Smart
Programmer is not able to control the device (just monitoring
operations are allowed).
To open the desired startup mode, select the appropriate button on the OMNI
Smart Programmer Selection screen. Once the Programmer’s mode is selected, it
cannot be changed until the mode’s application is closed and the Selection screen
is again displayed by the OMNI Smart Programmer.
The following rules apply to the various startup modes:
• A Programmer in 2-Lead Clinical Mode can connect to one Programmer
in 2-Lead Remote Mode and several Programmers in Remote Listener
Mode, but not with another Programmer in 2-Lead Clinical Mode.
• A Programmer in 3-Lead Clinical Mode can connect to one Programmer
in 3-Lead Remote Mode and several Programmers in Remote Listener
Mode, but not with another Programmer in 3-Lead Clinical Mode.
• A Programmer in 2-Lead Clinical Remote Mode can only connect to one
Programmer in 2-Lead Clinical Mode. A Programmer in 3-Lead Clinical
Remote Mode can only connect to one Programmer in 3-Lead Clinical
Mode. In either case, the following message will be displayed when the
‘OMNI Smart Programmer –Remote Mode’ button is selected:
“This OMNI II Programmer cannot be used to interrogate or program local
OPTIMIZER Mini IPGs while logged on as a Remote Programmer. The
remote programming session must be terminated and this OMNI II
Programmer rebooted prior to using this programmer to interrogate or
program an OPTIMIZER Mini IPG through this programmer’s wand.”
• A Programmer in Remote Listener Mode can only connect to one
Programmer in Clinical Mode.
• All the Programmers connected to a Clinical Mode Programmer (Remote
and Remote Listener) can receive chat messages and monitoring
information (markers, programming values, statistics readings, etc.
• Only the Programmer in Clinical or Remote modes can send chat
messages.
• Only the Programmer in Master Mode (see Section 31.5) is able to initiate
communication operations with the device (interrogate, programming,
etc.). The Programmer in Master Mode can be either a Remote or Clinical
Programmer.
31.3.2 OMNI Smart Master/Slave Modes
An OMNI Smart programmer opened in Remote or Clinical mode can become
Master or Slave during the remote session. The OMNI Smart Programmer can be
changed between Master and Slave modes only when the Programmer is in
Clinical Mode.
