After all Network devices have been installed, their Host Names and IP Addresses should
be set. Philips workstations and the Server should have their Host Names changed to
something associated with their setting or application. All Network devices -- Information
Centers, Clients, Server, Switches, Printers -- must also have their IP Addresses set before
Philips software can be installed and configured.
Notes IP Addresses for M3/M4/IntelliVue Patient Monitors are automatically assigned by Philips
software.
Network Installation Worksheets are provided in Appendix A to record Host and
