6 Networked Monitoring
6.1 Network Introduction
You can connect the monitor to the central monitoring system (CMS), and eGateway
through wired LAN or wireless LAN.
6.2 Network Safety Information
• Wireless network designing, deploying, debugging, and maintenance should
be executed by Mindray service personnel or authorized technicians.
• Always set the wireless network according to local wireless regulations.
• Using 5G frequency band is recommended whenever possible. There are
more interference sources in 2.4G frequency band.
• Private APs and wireless routers are not allowed. These devices may cause
radio interference and result in monitor and CMS data loss.
• Data communication must be performed within a closed network or within a
virtually isolated network provided by a hospital for all network functions.
The hospital is responsible for ensuring the security of the virtually isolated
network.
• WPA2-PSK and WPA2-Enterprise verification and encryption should be used
if possible. Otherwise, the equipment may not be able to work or patient
information may be divulged. WPA2-Enterprise and a long password are
recommended.
• Keep network authentication information, for example password, safe,
protecting the network from being accessed by unauthorized users.
• Do not connect non-medical devices to the monitor network.
• If wireless network signal is poor, there may be a risk of CMS data loss.
• RF interference may result in wireless network disconnection.
• Maximum number of monitors connected to a single AP is 16. Too many
monitors connected to the same AP may result in network disconnection.
• Disconnecting from the network may result in CMS data loss and function
failure. Check the patient in case of network disconnection and solve the
network problem as soon as possible.
