Automated Endoscope Reprocessor endoscope reprocessor
shall be capable of being networked with other MEDIVATORS ADVANTAGE PLUS System units on
a local area network. One PC, either part of an MEDIVATORS ADVANTAGE PLUS System unit or a
separate stand-alone PC, may be used as the Server. The other MEDIVATORS ADVANTAGE PLUS
System units are considered Clients of the Server. The Server PC would run the Server and Management
applications and contain the MEDIVATORS ADVANTAGE PLUS System database where all parameters
and cycle results are stored. The Clients would run the LIO and Print Service applications. In the way
each MEDIVATORS ADVANTAGE PLUS System unit (Client) could independently initiate and execute
the Disinfection, Recovery or Water Line Disinfect programs with the cycle results being printed to its
dedicated receipt printer, while all access to management and administrative functions (parameters, users,
cycle logs, etc.) would only be possible through the one Server PC.
To create a network of MEDIVATORS ADVANTAGE PLUS System units, each MEDIVATORS
ADVANTAGE PLUS System unit (Client) and the Server PC must be connected to a hub and assigned
a unique IP address. In addition, a unique Workgroup must be created and each Client and the Server
PC must be congured to belong to this Workgroup. Once the Workgroup has been established, the
appropriate applications of the MEDIVATORS ADVANTAGE PLUS System PC software can be loaded
on each unit, starting with the Server PC. During the install, when asked for the “Server name or server
IP-address” each unit should enter the computer name of the Server PC. Finally, each Client should allow
the MEDIVATORS ADVANTAGE PLUS System folder, where the MEDIVATORS ADVANTAGE PLUS
System executable applications reside, to be “shared”. All these changes can be done through the Control
Panel of each unit.
