Network Operation
The bedside monitor operates in network mode when it is:
! Docked at a docking station,
! Equipped with a wireless PC card in a wireless network
Docking stations must be configured for network mode (versus
standalone mode) by Dräger personnel during installation. Only
Dräger personnel can modify these configurations, which define
numerous network functions, including bedside labels, recorder
labels, and the availability of remote control functions of the bed-
side monitor from other network devices.
Wireless monitors must be admitted to the network during instal-
lation. Once admitted, the user can then select care unit and bed
label assignments according to where the wireless monitor is sta-
tioned (see the section Wireless Network Configuration, below).
While a wireless monitor is docked at a docking station, it auto-
matically accepts the docking station’s care unit and bed label
assignments.
If central monitoring is enabled at the bedside, you can assign the
bedside to a display channel on the central station’s screen. The
monitor continuously sends the following information to the cen-
tral station:
! Parameter values (including values reported as *** ).
! Waveforms and their scales.
! Current bedside alarm limits and settings.
! Alarms and status messages.
At the central station, you can also call up the bedside’s trend data
and diagnostic log and you can store monitoring events (see the
M
ULTIVIEW WORKSTATION User’s Guide).
