Equipment Overview
Introduction
This chapter provides equipment overviews of the devices supported by the system and device supervision. The
supervision feature applies to many devices such as the alarming band transmitters, Pendants, Fall Monitoring
and Incontinence devices. A supervised device is the system’s way of ensuring that devices are communicating
properly and within range of the receivers. This chapter also provides details of the Central Server and Client
computers used to run the software as well as Messaging and Walkie-Talkie information.
Central Server and Client Computers
The Central Server is a Windows based computer that runs the software. It
contains the database and provides communication with devices in the
system as well as the Client computer(s).
Depending on your configuration, the system can include several Client
computers. The Client computers allow the user to perform such functions
as admitting, discharging, and authorizing transfers and escorts. Each
Client computer includes a touchscreen monitor that displays alarms as
they occur on a floor plan of the facility.
The Central Server can be located in any area such as the nurse’s central
station or security office. It must be located near a dedicated analog phone
line or broadband connection to allow for remote Technical Support access
when requested by the customer. Each Client computer must be located in
a secure area that can be accessed by staff to enter and retrieve information.
Quick Look Display
The Quick Look Display shows information from the system at remote locations such as a
secondary nurse’s station. When a Red alarm is issued from the system, it is received through
the Quick Look Interface. The type of alarm (Cut Band, Door, Check), location of the
alarm and the transmitter ID are displayed on a large, easy-to-read 2 x 20 Character Vacuum
Fluorescent Displays (VFDs). As new alarms occur, they appear immediately; the display
then begins scrolling through each active alarm. For more information about the Quick
Look Display, see the Quick Look Display and Interface Installation Guide.
