instadose 2 Dosimetry Communication SpecificationsDosimetry ServicesDivisioninstaLink™ USB: The instaLink USB allows workstations connected to the internet to transmit dose data to Mirion’s secure servers. For the instaLink USB to work it must be connected to the workstation at all times and the instaLink USB software must be installed on the workstation. The software has a small footprint of less than 1Mb.KEY FEATURESBluetooth® wireless technology version 4.0, single mode compliant •Supports master and slave modes•4+ simultaneous connection is master modeIntegrated Bluetooth low energy stack•GAP, GATT, L2CAP, SMP•Bluetooth low energy prolesRadio performance:•TX power: +4dBm to -23dBm•RX sensitivity: -87dBm to -93dBm•USB, USB HID and virtual COM port emulation•Bluetooth end product, CE, and FCC qualiedHardware Features:•Bluetooth low energy radio•Built-in antennaCertifications:•Bluetooth wireless technology 4.0•CE and FCCREQUIREMENTS / FUNCTIONALITY OF SOFTWARE:•Internet Connectivity•Runs on Window XP, Vista, and 7•Access to *.instadose.com / port 443•During installation, the application will be added to theStartUp menu – the application will launch when theworkstation boots up•The application window does not need to be open for adevice to be read•If the workstation is hibernating (sleeping) communicationwith instadose 2 dosimeters will not occurINSTALLATION STEPSThe instaLink USB software will work on Windows XP, Vista, and 7, Windows 8 is currently unavailable. NOTE: DO NOT plug in the instaLink USB until after the software has been installed. To install the instaLink USB software onto workstations you must have administration privileges and follow the steps below.•Go to www.instadose.com and login with the givenusername and password•[Click] Download software under the Manage section ofthe home screen•[Click] download instaLink USB software and follow theinstructions.instaLink™ Hotspot Station: The instaLink hotspot station securely transmits dose data to Mirion’s server. The station comes with a power cord and mounting brackets. The instaLink hotspot station can be connected to your network by either Ethernet or WiFi. The instaLink comes with congurable Wi/Ethernet options: WPA, SID, Proxies, etc. KEY FEATURES:•Software comes preloaded and is designed to befunctional upon arrival at the customer site•instaLink can be plugged directly into a network – Onceconnected it will attempt to connect to instadose webserviceBluetooth wireless technology version 4.0, single mode compliant •Supports master and slave modes•4+ simultaneous connection is master modeIntegrated Bluetooth low energy stack•GAP, GATT, L2CAP, SMP•Bluetooth low energy prolesRadio performance:•TX power: +4dBm to -23dBm•RX sensitivity: -87dBm to -93dBm•USB, USB HID and virtual COM port emulation•Bluetooth end product, CE, and FCC qualiedLIT4396_0_ USMIRION PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
Hardware Features:•Bluetoothlow energy radio•Built-in antennaCertifications:•Bluetoothwireless technology version 4.0•CE and FCCDISCOVERY / CONFIGURATION APPLICATION: Install the instaLink discovery conguration software to scan and detect instaLink hotspots connected to the network. IT departments can congure network settings and unique identiers for each hotspot. INSTALLATION STEPS •Plug a instaLink hotspot into your hardwired network.•Install and run the discovery application software. Theysoftware will identify each instLkink hotspot connectedto the network. The following options are congurable:•WiFi – sid and access credentials (username /Password)•Proxy / Network security settings•Unique instaLink Identier (Name) to assist in datacollection statisticsBluetooth® Smart Dosimeter: The instadose 2 dosimeter utilizes BluetoothLow Energy (BLE) Technology to transmit dose data to a variety of devices. A facility can select from:•iPhones or iPads with the instadose app installed•PCs with BLE or with the instaLink-USB connected•instaLink Hotspot StationDATA TRANSFERS:Bluetooth low energy technology supports very short data packets (8 octet minimum up to 27 octets maximum) that are transferred at 1 Mbps. All connections use advanced sniff-sub rating to achieve ultra low duty cycles.FREQUENCY HOPPING:Bluetooth low energy technology uses the adaptive frequency hopping common to all versions of Bluetooth technology to minimize interference from other technologies in the 2.4 GHz ISM Band. Efcient multi-path benets increase the link budgets and range.STRONG SECURITY:Full AES-128 encryption using CCM to provide strong encryption and authentication of data packets.TOPOLOGY:Bluetooth low energy technology uses a 32 bit access address on every packet for each slave. The technology is optimized for one-to-one connections while allowing one-to-many connections using a star topology. A new Bluetooth Smart feature is the “advertising” functionality. The instadose 2 dosimeter (acting as a slave) can in this way announce that it has dose readings to transmit to the master (iPhone, iPad, instaLink USB or instaLink). Figure 4 shows how the instadose 2 dosimeter communicates reads. The instadose 2 dosimeter periodically sends messages and will always be a slave once the connection is established. An ipad, iPhone, or instaLink product is ready to receive an advertisement message and a connection request. The ipad, iPhone, or instaLink product will always be a master once the connection is established.2652 McGaw AvenueIrvine, CA 92614USAU.S./Canada +1.800.251.3331U.K. 0170.629.9329Worldwide +1.949.419.1000www.mirion.comiPad and iPhone are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.
