Wireless Network Configuration
The Infinity Gamma Series monitor can operate in a wireless net-
work which allows the monitor to establish and maintain contact
with the Infinity network and the central station without being
docked at a Docking Station.
A wireless monitor transmits and receives data with the help of a
wireless LAN PC card installed in the Memory Card slot on the
monitor’s side panel. The wireless card communicates with
access points which are strategically placed within a monitoring
unit in order to cover the desired transmission area.
If a wireless monitor loses contact with all access points and
wireless transmission is interrupted (i.e. you remove the wireless
card or the monitor is out of range), the network generates an
offline message and the monitor operates as a standalone device.
NOTE: For detailed information about installation and configura-
tion of wireless components, refer to the Dräger publication
“Infinity Network Planning, Design, and Installation Handbook--
Wireless Extensions Supplement.”
