Communication Interface
The
Veris
8600 telemetry technology allows for RF communication up
to 10 meters in the Faraday cage utilizing 2.4 gigahertz RF
communication. The main monitor and remote display support a
wireless network communication interface according to the 802.11b
standard.
Operation
• Do not take the remote display into the MR Scanner room. The
remote display contains ferromagnetic material and can be
strongly attracted to the magnet causing a safety hazard.
• If using an external display or any serial connections with the
remote display, special cables with ferrites must be used. See
“Accessories” in Appendix D for the correct cables to use with
these applications.
pn 3013528: Serial cable with ferrites for the remote display
pn 3013529: Video cable with ferrites for the remote display
The remote display is an option to the
Veris
Cardiac and Anesthesia
configurations.The remote display is standard on the
Veris
BasePlus
configuration. The remote display looks similar to the main monitor
that is in the MR room. The remote display must be in the control
room and communicate to the main monitor via a wireless or hardwire
serial connection. The remote display offers a way to control the
Veris
main monitor from the control room without going into the MR room.
The remote display and main monitor are sychronized; what displays
on the main monitor displays on the remote display at the same time.
For example, if the user changes an alarm setting, both units display
the ALARMS menu and the change as it takes place.
When the remote display is turned on, it displays the message Please
Wait Until Synchronization until it synchronizes with the main monitor.
The main monitor sends its configuration, trend, and current screen
configuration data to the remote display. This causes the main
monitor and the remote display to be in the same state with the same
data.
NOTE: The remote display and main monitor cannot synchronize if
they are at different software revisions. If the main monitor and the
remote display cannot syncronize because the software revision is
different, then the remote display displays the message Remote and
Main have incompatible Software.

After the main monitor and the remote display synchronize, the
remote display mirrors what the main monitor is doing. The main
monitor is the master. An icon displays in the heart rate (HR)
parameter box, on both the remote display and the main monitor, to
show that the main monitor and the remote display are
communicating. (For more information on the heart rate parameter
box, go to “ECG BOX” on page 2-9.)
If communications are lost, the remote display displays the message
Please Wait Until Synchronization and the units cycle through the
synchronization process again after communications are restored.
The communication icon on the main monitor (in the heart rate
parameter box) does not display until communication is restored.
The remote display contains the internal printer. For more information
on printing, see “Printing and Data Ports” in Section 12.
