Introduction

The IntelliVue Smart-hopping infrastructure uses a cellular wireless architecture to provide two-way communications between IntelliVue Patient Monitors and the IntelliVue Information Center.

Using the “IntelliVue Smart-hopping” wireless protocol, the IntelliVue Smart-hopping infrastructure provides monitoring capabilities for ambulatory patients within a wide coverage area. The IntelliVue Smart-hopping IntelliVue Patient Monitors and infrastructure operate on the 1.4 GHz US Wireless Medical Telemetry Service

You can configure the Access Point Controller to communicate with IntelliVue 1.4 GHz IntelliVue Smart-hopping Access Points (APs). IntelliVue 1.4 GHz APs can only communicate with 1.4 GHz IntelliVue Patient Monitors.

IntelliVue Smart-hopping networks utilize a cognitive radio that senses the RF environment and adapt to it. Dynamic wireless channel allocation ensures best use of available wireless spectrum. The IntelliVue Smart-hopping infrastructure is designed to co-exist with other 802.11 wireless deployments.

A General Description of the IntelliVue Smart-hopping Core Access Point

The IntelliVue Smart-hopping Core Access Point (AP), Model ITS4843B (Figure 1-2), provides an air-link to transmit and receive data between IntelliVue Smart-hopping IntelliVue Patient Monitors and the Philips IntelliVue Information Center via the IntelliVue Smart-hopping infrastructure.

Figure 1-2: IntelliVue Smart-hopping Core Access Point

The Core AP is a modular antenna infrastructure consisting of a Core AP (CAP) with up to two connected Model ITS4846A Remote Antennas (RAs). A 74-foot (22.6 m) coaxial and unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable bundle is used to connect a Remote Antenna to a Core AP. Core APs are only available for the 1.4 GHz IntelliVue Smarthopping infrastructure.

The effective range of the Core AP and of each Remote Antenna is typically 32 feet. The Core AP always supports a maximum of 18 IntelliVue Patient Monitors regardless of its component configuration. A Core AP alone supports 18 IntelliVue Patient Monitors. When used with a single RA, the Core AP supports nine IntelliVue Patient Monitors and its connected RA supports nine IntelliVue Patient Monitors (9+9=18). When used with two RAs, the Core AP supports six IntelliVue Patient Monitors and its connected RAs each support six IntelliVue Patient Monitors (6+6+6=18).

When monitored patients are ambulatory, data roaming is handled seamlessly between the other IntelliVue Access Points in the coverage area. The Core AP and each RA are always used with their two supplied antennas installed. The Core AP and its attached Remote Antennas can be mounted out of the way on corridor walls, or above or below ceiling tiles.

Chapter 1: Overview

Draft - August 28, 2013

Core AP Mounting Options

Wall-mounting hardware is standard. An optional above/below ceiling tile mount kit (P/N 862415 Option K05 (453564052201)) is available that can be used with both the Core AP and its Remote Antennas.

Power Source

The IntelliVue Smart-hopping 1.4 GHz Core Access Point receives its 48 VDC operating power source via its Ethernet LAN cabling from Power over Ethernet via the IntelliVue Smart-hopping Sync Unit. The AP is not equipped with a power socket. The AP consumes less than 13.8W, and internally generates a variety of voltages used for its internal components.

The CAT-5 UTP cable within the 74 ft.-cable bundle carries 5.5 VDC power, Transmit and Receive control signals, and Antenna Diversity signals from the Core AP to a connected Remote Antenna.

The 75 Ohm coaxial cable within the 74 ft.-cable bundle carries RF and DC sense signals from the Core AP to a connected Remote Antenna.

Synchronization Signal

The IntelliVue Smart-hopping 1.4 GHz Core Access Point receives a synchronization signal from a network of Sync Units that enables an IntelliVue Patient Monitor to hand over data seamlessly between APs within the coverage area when a patient is ambulatory and to transfer data to the IntelliVue Information Center without interruption. Each Sync Unit provides synchronization for up to 12 APs. The Sync Unit also distributes the common reference clock signal needed by the IntelliVue Smart-hopping infrastructure as a whole.

IntelliVue Patient Monitor Mobility

The IntelliVue Smart-hopping infrastructure supports seamless roaming of IntelliVue Patient Monitors within the area of coverage. This roaming is accomplished via communications between the IntelliVue Patient Monitors and the Access Points (AP) as follows.

As an IntelliVue Patient Monitor is moved around a building, it automatically monitors the quality of the wireless link to its current AP (and it also detects the presence of other APs). When the quality starts to deteriorate, the IntelliVue Patient Monitor automatically establishes a new connection to another AP.

The IntelliVue Patient Monitor remains connected to two APs for a finite time, and thus the same data is received by these APs. During this time, information for header compression and other data for the connection is routed to the new AP.

One of the two APs subsequently releases the radio connection. If a packet is in progress when a handover occurs, then the packet is reassembled co-operatively between the two APs.

The PIIC or PIICix receives an unbroken flow of complete IP packets.

Technical Alerts

Each AP is configured to signal alert conditions that are viewed at the IIC in the wireless status log.

The IntelliVue Access Point is configured to raise alerts on error conditions. The alerts are sent over the IntelliVue Smart-hopping/ICN Ethernet LAN infrastructure to a monitoring station or Database Sever. The Access Point raises an alert if:

• if data loss exceeds the configured threshold

• it loses its synchronization signal

For small systems having only one AP and no Sync Unit, the AP can be configured to suppress the loss of synchronization signal alert.

Note that the IntelliVue Smart-hopping APC provides System Alerts such as loss of synchronization, high data loss, AP hardware failure, and over capacity. Additionally, when redundant APCs are installed, the APC will provide a System Alert for APC hardware or software failure.

Firmware Updates

Firmware on the IntelliVue Smart-hopping 1.4 GHz Core Access Point is upgraded from the Access Point Controller by using the Upgrade Tool. Refer to the service document entitled IntelliVue Smart-hopping Infrastructure Installation and Service

Guide for details. The AP firmware image is provided on the Smart-hopping Telemetry Service Tool CD-ROM.

Management Interfaces

The Access Point supports the full range of management interfaces via the IntelliVue Smart-hopping Access Point Controller (APC). These interfaces also enable you to view the status of the Access Point including the following information:

• System configuration such as firmware version

• Connection information such as numbers of packets received and transmitted, and number of errors

• Wave data information such as total number of seconds of data sent and lost

The AP statistics can be read by remote devices (e.g., an ICN Database Server), using the Scaleable Node Address Protocol (SNAP).

The following status items can be displayed using the APC’s web interface:

•AP Name

•Physical Address

• Partnered AP Controller

•IP Address

•Subnet Mask
