Bed Information Hardware Settings Configuration Implications
For detailed configuration implications, please refer to the latest Avalon Fetal Monitor Service Guide.
Equipment Label
The equipment label must be entered for each individual monitor. It is stored with the monitor, it is
not cloned. The equipment label must be unique for each fetal monitor in order for the fetal monitors
to be able to connect to IntelliSpace Perinatal/OB TraceVue.
IP Config
Use the IP Config setting to to change the mode to acquire the IP Address.
Choices are:
•
BOOTP
Typically, the Avalon Fetal Monitor requests its IP Address from a BOOTP service (preferred). Only
if a
BOOTP server cannot be provided, fix parameters may be configured manually. The IP Address
is then set to a dedicated, valid address.
•
DHCP
The DHCP support offers an alternative to BOOTP. DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol)
enables the fetal monitors to request an
IP Address (internet protocol address) from the connected
network (OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace Perinatal) automatically.
•
DHCP Restr
In DHCP Restr. mode any true BOOTP responses are ignored.
•
Manual
CAUTION
It is mandatory that Manual IP Address configuration is performed by experienced service
personnel. Exercise great caution during installation to avoid problems such as duplicate IP
addresses, non-matching subnet mask, etc. Documentation of all related configuration details is
mandatory and must be updated with each change to ensure network reliability, especially when
