Configuration Tasks
You must configure these settings during installation in configuration mode.
• Line Frequency
• Printer
• Altitude
• Equipment Label (for wireless networked monitors, or when the Information center is in flexible
monitoring mode).
Setting Altitude, Line Frequency and Barometric Pressure
You require a local barometric pressure rating from a reliable source (such as airport, regional weather
station, or hospital weather station) that is located at the same altitude as the institution.
1 From the Main Setup menu, select Global Setting. Select Altitude and enter the altitude.
2 From the Main Setup menu, select Global Setting. Select Line Frequency and choose
the Line Frequency.
3 From the Main Setup menu, select Monitor. Select Barometric Pressure and enter the
pressure.
Configuring the Equipment Label
If the Information Center is in fixed monitoring mode, it controls the equipment label. You do not
need to follow this procedure.
However, if you are on a wireless network, or your Information Center is configured for flexible
monitoring mode, you must set the equipment label. This associates the monitor with a central
monitoring sector. An identical monitor label must also be configured in the Information Center.
1 Select the Bed Label screen element to call up the Bed Info menu.
2 Select Equipment Label to call up the onscreen keyboard.
3 Enter the system identifier. This needs to be set up in either the monitor or the information
Center. If the Information Center is in flexible monitoring mode, the monitor must be setup to
match the Information Center’s monitor label.
