8. NETWORK SETTINGS
Service Manual CNS-9701 8.3
Each instrument in the network has an IP address for data communication.
Duplicate IP addresses must not be present in the same network.
A unique IP address is assigned to each instrument at shipment. Therefore, there
should be no duplicate IP addresses and usually the IP address does not need to be
changed.
If the IP address needs to be changed due to the network management in the
facility, the IP address can be changed manually.
CAUTION
The network must be managed by the network administrator. Make
sure that each monitor in the network has a different IP address.
Otherwise, data communication cannot be performed properly and it
causes incorrect monitoring. When adding a monitor to an already
operating network, the IP address of the monitor must be set before
connecting the monitor to the network.
NOTE
••
••
• To avoid communication trouble, do not connect the network cable to
each instrument before IP address setting is complete.

••
• Contact your Nihon Kohden distributor or representative when
changing the IP address manually.
When IP addresses are managed by the network administrator in your hospital, they
need to be changed manually. IP address is set in Windows 2000. You need to shut
down the central monitor system before setting the IP address.
1. Shut down the central monitor system.
2. Click the “Network and Dial-up Connections” icon. Or, select Start → Settings
→ Control Panel → Network and Dial-up Connection. The “Network and
Dial-up Connection” dialog box opens.
