Activate/check LAN link: Click on the control ‘Profiles / SDM settings’ and select
‘Interfaces’ tab of Current SDM Profile. Verify that ‘LAN selectable’ is checked and
that ‘LAN’ is set to ‘On’. Also select appropriate setting for ‘DHCP mode’, depending
on your network configuration (set to ‘Off’ in case of direct connection with
crossover cable). Enter IP address when DHCP mode was set to ‘Off’. Normally the
other settings can be left at their defaults.
Close ‘Profiles / SDM settings’ window.
On the SDM: navigate to menu Interfaces LAN interface. If in DHCP mode you
should now see the IP address assigned by the DHCP server.
With V-STATS™: Using the trial mode of V-CareNeT™ start a remote monitoring
session with the SMD.
Note: consult online help if you need specific help on how to start the
communication.
Verify that a green icon is shown in the V-CareNeT™ Control Window for the
connection status of the SDM (LAN test 1).
After admitting a patient: The Remote Monitoring Window is shown, click in the
black data field and open the Additional Data window.
Verify that the time displayed in the status bar of the window corresponds to the
time of the SDM (lagging no more than 5 seconds) and that the serial number in
the Monitor Configuration / Status Information field corresponds to the serial
number of the device under test (LAN test 2).
3.2.15 Capacity of Rechargeable Lithium Battery
Test using a PC:
1. Connect the SDM to AC power and wait until the battery is completely charged.
(AC Power/Battery Indicator on the front panel of the SDM (
see Figure 1
) lits
green).
2. Adjust the brightness in the menu "Systems Settings / Display Settings" to 100%.
3. Activate the communication protocol "SenTecLink" in the menu "Interfaces /
Serial Interfaces".
4. Connect the Serial Data Port (RS-232) of the SDM to an external PC and record
the on-line data using a terminal program.
5. Activate data recording using a terminal program and disconnect the SDM from
AC power.
6. When the battery capacity is below 10% the status message "Battery Low"
displays and the status code "LB" is recorded. Once the remaining battery is
critical the message “Battery critical” displays and the status code “BC” is output.
The time stamp of the last data set recorded on the PC corresponds to the time
when the battery was empty and the SDM switched off automatically. With the
first and last time stamps of the recorded data set you can calculate the running
time.
