2-26 EarlyVue VS30 Instructions for Use
Networked Monitors
The VS30 monitor can be connected to a network using a standard wired LAN
connection, a wireless LAN (WLAN) interface, or a serial interface adapter.
A networked monitor can export patient records from the monitor to an access point or
router, and then forward the data to an HL7 interface server or EMR system. When
connected to a network, attended records are exported as soon as they are saved, and
unattended records are sent every 30 seconds. See “Attended and Unattended Patient
Records” on page 3-27 for more information.
If your monitor is networked, the records in the Records menu change from white to
green after they have been exported successfully. See “Patient Record Colors” on
page 3-16.
Caution
If you are using the optional serial interface adapter to export data and you disconnect the adapter
to move the monitor to a different location, make sure the black sheath completely covers the RS-
232 connector after you reconnect the cable.
Note
Your system administrator can configure the monitor so that green records remain visible
on the monitor only for a configured period of time after they are successfully exported.
After this period, the green records are hidden, but are still stored on the monitor. You
can view these records from the EMR system. On the monitor, hidden records can only
be viewed if your system administrator disables the Hide Exported Patient Records
option.
Verifying the Network Connection
The network status icon, which appears in the toolbar on the main screen, indicates the
status of the monitor’s network connection. If the monitor detects both a LAN IP address
and a WLAN IP address, the monitor first selects the LAN for network communication.
Icon Connection Status
The monitor is currently connected to a wireless network. The number of
bars displayed in black indicates the signal strength. Four solid bars
indicates the strongest signal and no solid bars (all bars gray) indicates a
very weak signal.
The monitor is currently connected to a wired network or to both a wired
and wireless network.
No icon If neither icon appears in the toolbar, the monitor is not currently
connected to either a wired or wireless network.
