A typical range for direct connection between the
Accu-Chek Inform II meter and the access point (air,
direct view, low disturbances) is up to 49 to 66 feet (15 to
20 meters). The actual range depends on the positioning
of the access point’s antennas and other topological
properties of the space between WLAN device and AP.
Additionally, dynamic control of the transmitting power of
the access point may reduce the maximum distance
between WLAN device and AP within which communica-
tion can be guaranteed.
The Accu-Chek Inform II system is designed such that it
coexists with other wirelessly communicating devices.
The Accu-Chek Inform II system does NOT include any
real-time or even time critical wireless functionality. It
communicates exclusively single, digital data fields. It
does NOT communicate continuous waveform data.
Note: The Accu-Chek Inform II meter monitors the
Quality of Service (QoS) of the WLAN communication
connection. Should the last attempt to communicate
have failed, an icon appears on the screen (see
page 42). A degraded QoS will not impact the function-
ality of the meter but may delay the communication of
results to the DMS. Users should be aware that real-
time communication of blood glucose readings
cannot be guaranteed by the Accu-Chek Inform II
meter.
