Link-iT™ System USER’S MANUAL Page 6 of 20 01090-00059, Revision A T100 3 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Link-iT™ System is a compact intelligent system intended to bring processing power and interface capability to a variety of needs in the medical device arena, particularly in the area of connecting medical devices and information systems. The system includes Link-iT™ modules and power supplies. The modules connect to standard interfaces, including RS-232, IrDA, USB, Ethernet (10BaseT and 100BaseT), and 802.11b (WiFi) wireless networking. The Link-iT™ power supply provides direct power and battery charging capability. The following items are external components supported by the Link-iT™ System: • Medical devices and their specific serial protocols • Information systems and their specific interface requirements (e.g. XML or HL7)
Link-iT™ System USER’S MANUAL Page 7 of 20 01090-00059, Revision A Specific aspects of the interface are dictated by the external device and may require customization. Before connecting to any device, consult the operator/user’s manual provided by the device manufacturer. Contact your site administrator with questions regarding your system environment. 3.1 PRODUCT CONFIGURATIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS Product Configuration Description L100 Link-iT™ module T100 Link-iT™ power supply* L100-T Link-iT™ module and Link-iT™ power supply L100-W-T Link-iT™ module with WiFi and Link-iT™ power supply L100-W-B-T Link-iT™ module with WiFi, built-in battery pack and Link-iT™ power supply *Includes 1 standard RJ-45 cable (6 ft)
Link-iT™ System USER’S MANUAL Page 8 of 20 01090-00059, Revision A 3.2 FEATURES OF THE LINK-IT MODULE 3.2.1 Communication Ports
Link-iT™ System USER’S MANUAL Page 9 of 20 01090-00059, Revision A Interfaces supported by the Link-iT™ module include two DB-9 connectors standard for serial interfaces, USB that conforms to the USB 2.0 specification, an IrDA port for infrared communication, and a RJ-45 connector standard for a wired network interface. The RJ-45 connector also supplies DC power to the Link-iT™ module. A single RJ-45 cable is supplied with the Link-iT™ power supply. 3.2.2 Link-iT™ Module LED Indicators LEDs on the Link-iT™ module indicate function or activity for specific aspects of the system. Power LED - illuminates when the Link-iT™ module has DC power supplied or flashes/blinks when the Link-iT™ module has battery power supplied. WiFi LED – illuminates when the Link-iT™ module has active wireless communication.
Link-iT™ System USER’S MANUAL Page 10 of 20 01090-00059, Revision A Network LED – illuminates when the Link-iT™ module has active network communication. Serial LED – illuminates when there is active serial communication or USB communication between the Link-iT™ module and an external device/component. IrDA LED – illuminates when there is active infrared communication between the Link-iT™ module and an external system. 4 INSTALLATION The Link-iT™ module is configurable with various interfaces based on the product model type. NOTE: Interface connections should be made prior to powering on the Link-iT™ module. 4.1 CONNECTING WITH RS-232 To interface via RS-232, use a serial cable to connect either DB-9 Serial Communication port of the Link-iT™ module to the serial connector on the external device (e.g. medical instrumentation). When the Link-iT™ module is powered and has active serial communication, the Serial LED will illuminate. Custom cabling may be required for external device connectivity, consult your site administrator. 4.2 CONNECTING WITH USB A USB port is available to support additional device interfaces or to support enhanced system capability. To interface via USB, connect the USB Communication port of the Link-iT™ module to
Link-iT™ System USER’S MANUAL Page 11 of 20 01090-00059, Revision A the external device (e.g. external hard drive, printer). When the Link-iT™ module is powered and has active USB communication, the Serial LED will illuminate. 4.3 CONNECTING WITH A WIRED NETWORK A typical interface via Ethernet will use a standard RJ-45 cable to connect the Ethernet and Power Connection of the Link-iT™ module to the “To Link-iT™” port of the Link-iT™ power supply (T100). A second RJ-45 cable should connect the “To Network” port of the Link-iT™ power supply (T100) to the hospital network jack or hub. The Network LED on the Link-iT™ module will illuminate when powered and there is active network communication. 4.4 CONNECTING WITH A WIRELESS NETWORK Wireless communication is available for Link-iT™ modules with “W” in the model number. When a Link-iT™ module configured for 802.11B connectivity has active wireless communication, the WiFi LED will illuminate. At this time, simultaneous operation of Ethernet and 802.11B on a single Link-iT™ module is not supported. 4.5 CONNECTING WITH IRDA An IrDA (infrared) interface is provided with the Link-iT™ module for integration with a PDA or similar systems. The IrDA LED will illuminate when there is infrared communication between a Link-iT™ module and an external infrared system.

Link-iT™ System USER’S MANUAL Page 13 of 20 01090-00059, Revision A To power a Link-iT™ module and/or charge a battery pack: 1) Connect the Ethernet and Power Connection of the Link-iT™ module to the “To Link-iT™” port of the Link-iT™ power supply (T100) using a standard RJ-45 cable. 2) Plug the T100 directly into a power outlet. 3) Check to see that the Power LED on the Link-iT™ module illuminates indicating DC Power is applied. If the Link-iT™ module has a battery pack that is charged, the main power supply may be disconnected and the Link-iT™ module used in an ambulatory function for up to 4 hours. The Power LED on the Link-iT™ module will flash as an indication of battery power. The absence of an illuminated Power LED indicates there is no power to the Link-iT™ module.
