Overview

About this guide

This guide describes how to install, configure, and troubleshoot the Welch Allyn Connex
CSK (Connectivity Solutions Kit) software.

For related procedures — for example, configuring the CP 200 electrocardiograph for
connectivity, installing the wireless radio, or installing the CardioPerfect Workstation
software — see separate instructions for the specific product.

While this guide mentions HL7 connectivity, installation of the corresponding software
module (EIE, enterprise integration engine) is beyond its scope. For details on HL7
connectivity, contact your Welch Allyn service representative.

This guide is written for network administrators and others with a background in
information technology.

General warnings and cautions

Throughout this manual, warning statements indicate conditions or practices that could
lead to illness, injury, or death. Caution statements indicate conditions or practices that
could damage the equipment or other property.

WARNING Reanalyzing imported ECG or spirometry data at a CardioPerfect
Workstation might affect measurement values and predicted values due to
platform differences, possibly changing the automatic interpretation.
