SDN Connectivity The first step is to investigate SDN connectivity -- are real-time patient monitoring
data flowing from patient monitors connected to the SDN to Information Centers?
Each SDN/Information Center connection should be checked to determine if patient
monitoring data are correctly being received and displayed.
Figure 7-3 SDN Connectivity Investigation
The following table provides a brief guideline for identifying sources of SDN
connectivity problems.
Caution Status Log information on a device that is disconnected from the network (e.g.
gone into local database mode) may not reflect the current status of other
devices on the Network.
Table 7-1. SDN Connectivity Troubleshooting
Assessment Investigation
Are patient data (waveforms and parameters)
from the SCC being properly displayed on
the Information Center?
- Check Patient Sectors for each
connected patient
Are all devices operational? - Check status LEDs on each device
Are all devices connected? - Check Status Log (See Caution)
Is the SDN interface operating correctly? - Check IC SDN interface card LEDs
Is the SDN configured correctly? - Check !Bed Config application
