Do not attempt to program the transceivers with the Network Key.10. Click the LL Threshold button to open a keypad that allows you to set the transceiver’s Loose Lead Threshold value (100-200). Electrode impedance values below this threshold trigger a Lead Off alarm for all leads dependent on the electrode violation. 150 is the default value.11. Click the QL Threshold button to open a keypad that allows you to set the transceiver’s Quality Lead Threshold value (100 - 200). This parameter defines whether an electrode’s LED on the DT-4500 will illuminate when the Attendant Present buttons are pressed. 156 is the default value.

The electrode impedance values range from 100 to 200 (opti-mal). The typical values range between 180 and 200.If the electrode’s impedance value is greater than the defined Quality Threshold value, then its LED is illuminated. The DT-4500 stores the Quality Threshold value and uses this value to determine whether or not the electrode LED should be illuminated when the Attendant Present buttons are pressed. See the PatientNet Operator’s Manual for details on the DT-4500 Buttons and LED indicators. Note: A Lead Off alarm will occur when an electrode’s impedance value drops to, or below, the current Loose Lead Threshold value.12. Click the PA SILENCE button to enable or disable the Procedure Alarm Silence function for the transceiver. See the PatientNet Operator’s Manual for details on the Procedure Alarm Silence function.13. Click the Program TX button to program a transceiver with the new parame-ters and read the programmed information back for validation. The trans-ceiver is now programmed.Note: The attached device (AT or IT) is only programmed with the new parameters when the Program TX button is pressed. Simply changing a parameter’s value does not program the device. Programming is a two-step process:(1) modify the desired parameter(s); (2) press the Program TX button.Note: An error message that reads “Programming failure” is displayed when the parameters read back from the transceiver differ from the parameters that were written to the transceiver.14. Click the F/W Download button to display the Advanced Program Trans-ceiver Firmware Download screen (see fig. 79 on page 126).15. Click the Advanced RF button to display the Advanced Program Transceiver RF Module screen (see fig. 80 on page 127).16. Click the Exit button to close the Ambulatory Transceiver Programming screen and return to the OpenNet LAN screen.

Click the Read TX button to read the currently programmed information located on the transceiver and update the fields.5. Click the Pkt Attempt Limit button to open a keypad that allows you to set the number of packet attempts limit for the selected RF module. The available settings are between 0 and 22.6. Click the Diversity button to toggle between Ant A, Ant B, or Auto, which sets the transceiver’s diversity setting. 7. Click the Roaming button to toggle between Enabled and Disabled, which sets the transceiver’s roaming capabilities.8. Click the Roam Threshold button to open a keypad that allows you to enter the transceiver’s roam threshold value. The available settings are between 0 and 255.9.

Click the OP Band button to set the operating band that will be used by the RF Module.• Typically, the 608.5-613.0 OP Band is selected. However, where the Patient-Net System operates in the same hospital as another system (or systems) that also use(s) the 608-614 MHz WMTS band, it will be necessary to select one of the sub-bands. The sub-band should coordinate with the hospital’s spec-trum policy.• Additional sub-bands include: 608.5-609.7, 609.6-610.8, 610.7-611.9, and 611.8-613.0 WARNING: All transceivers must be programmed to the same OP Band as the Access Points. This is an administrative procedure only. Do not attempt to program the transceivers with the selected OP Band.11. Click the Program TX button to program a transceiver and read the pro-grammed information back for validation. The transceiver is now pro-grammed.12.
