Location
Warning The wireless monitor must be operated at least 20 cm (8 in.) from any person. This is
necessary to ensure that the product is operated in accordance with the Radio
Frequency (RF) Guidelines for Human Exposure.
To prevent unauthorized access, wired active network components should be located in
places inaccessible to patients and clinicians, but convenient to service and support
personnel. Typically this is a locked wiring closet or room specifically designed for
network equipment.
WLAN System Requirements
Your monitor and WLAN must meet the following minimum requirements:
• Your Efficia CM Series monitors must have a wireless module option (E20).
• Efficia CM Series software release C.00 and later.
• Your current or planned wireless network must be compatible with the 802.11
network standards, security, and encryption options described in “802.11 Wireless
Overview” on page 3-2.
• The wired portion of the network must be properly routed so that the destination
server is reachable from the monitor. To check connectivity from the monitor, see
“Troubleshooting” on page 6-1.
For optimal operation:
• The signal strength from your AP or router must be –71 dBm or greater.
• Check the Session Timeout and Client Exclusion options on your WLAN. If these
options are enabled on your WLAN, you could experience connectivity issues.
Note — For more information, see “Troubleshooting” on page 6-1.
