Configuring Serial Network Settings
This chapter describes how to configure your Efficia CM Series monitor to send data to a
receiving application using the serial interface adapter.
Serial Overview
You can use the Serial Data Export function to export:
• All parameters that are currently displayed in the monitor’s numeric panes
• The most recent closed patient record in the patient record database
The HL7 Query (QRY) message that the receiving system sends to the monitor
determines the type of patient data that the monitor sends:
• If the QRY message contains a Results (RES) filter, the monitor exports all
parameters that are currently displayed in the numeric panes on the monitor. When
the monitor receives the QRY message, it exports all patient identifiers (or
ID
Unknown
), valid and invalid measurements, and blank results. The monitor also
exports measurements that exceed high and low alarm limits. The measurements
displayed in the numeric panes are cleared when the monitor receives a positive
acknowledgment message from the receiving application.
• If the QRY message contains a Status (STA) filter, the monitor sends the most recent
closed patient record. The monitor sends only the latest saved patient record
(including records with ID Unknown). It does not send previously saved patient
records. If the patient record is successfully exported, the record changes from
white to green. If the patient record is not successfully exported, the record changes
from white to blue.
For detailed information about the structure and syntax of the HL7 messages that are
exported from the monitor, see the Efficia CM Series Patient Monitors Data Export Guide.
Serial System Requirements
The monitor and receiving system must meet the following minimum requirements:
• Efficia CM Series software release A.01 and later.
• Serial interface adapter.
• The serial port settings of the receiving system must match the serial port settings of
the Efficia CM Series monitor. See “Verifying the RS-232 Serial Port Settings” on
page 4-2.
• Serial cables must have a DB9 female connector at both ends and can be up to 2.44
m (8 ft) in length.
