Chapter 1: Overview
Introduction
DRAFT-3
The Philips IntelliVue Telemetry System (ITS) uses a cellular wireless architecture to
provide two-way communications between patient-worn transceivers/monitors and
wireless bedside patient monitors, and the IntelliVue Information Center.
Using the “Smart-hopping” wireless protocol, the ITS provides monitoring
capabilities for ambulatory patients within a wide coverage area. The ITS
transceivers (portable patient-worn devices), patient-worn monitors, wireless
bedside monitors, and infrastructure operate on the 1.4 GHz US Wireless Medical
Telemetry Service (WMTS) band or on the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical
(ISM) band.
The pocket-size patient-worn transceiver or monitor sends patient data, and sends
and receives control and device information to and from the IntelliVue Information
Center (bi-directional communication) for subsequent monitoring, display, analysis,
alarm detection, operator alerts, data storage and permanent recording. Displays,
settings, recordings, and alarms are controlled from the IntelliVue Information
Center. Recordings can also be initiated from the patient worn-transceivers/
monitors.

A General Description of the ITS Core Access Point
You can configure the Access Point Controller to communicate with IntelliVue 1.4 or
2.4 GHz Smart-hopping Access Points (APs). IntelliVue 1.4 GHz APs can only
communicate with 1.4 GHz transceivers and monitors. Likewise, 2.4 GHz APs can
only communicate with 2.4 GHz transceivers and monitors. You cannot mix 1.4 GHz
and 2.4 GHz transceivers or monitors at a given ITS installation site.
DRAFT-3
Philips Smart-hopping technology utilizes a cognitive radio that senses the RF
environment and adapts to it. Dynamic wireless channel allocation ensures best
use of available wireless spectrum. When configured to operate in the 2.4 GHz
spectrum, the ITS is designed to co-exist with other 802.11 wireless deployments.
A General Description of the ITS Core Access Point
The IntelliVue Telemetry System Core Smart-hopping Access Point (AP), Model
ITS4843B (Figure 1-2), provides an air-link to transmit and receive data between
ITS wireless clients and the Philips IntelliVue Information Center via the ITS
infrastructure.

Figure 1-2: IntelliVue Telemetry System Core Access Point
The Core AP is a modular antenna infrastructure consisting of a Core AP (CAP) with
up to two connected Model ITS4846A Remote Antennas (RAs). A 74-foot (22.6 m)
coaxial and unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable bundle is used to connect a Remote
Antenna to a Core AP. Core APs are only available for the 1.4 GHz ITS.
The effective range of the Core AP and of each Remote Antenna is typically 32 feet.
The Core AP always supports a maximum of 18 wireless clients (i.e., patient-worn
transceivers or bedside monitors) regardless of its component configuration. A Core
AP alone supports 18 wireless clients. When used with a single RA, the Core AP
supports nine wireless clients and its connected RA supports nine wireless clients
(9+9=18). When used with two RAs, the Core AP supports six wireless clients and
its connected RAs each support six wireless clients (6+6+6=18).

Chapter 1: Overview
When monitored patients are ambulatory, data roaming is handled seamlessly
between the other IntelliVue Access Points in the system. The Core AP and each RA
are always used with their two supplied antennas installed. The Core AP and its
attached Remote Antennas can be mounted out of the way on corridor walls, or
above or below ceiling tiles.
DRAFT-3
Philips provides Model ITS4843B ITS Core Access Points for the 1.4 GHz US
Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS) band (P/N 989803171211) that can
be used with one or two Model ITS4846A Remote Antennas (P/N 865052).
Core AP Mounting Options
Wall-mounting hardware is standard. An optional above/below ceiling tile mount kit
(P/N 862415 Option K05 (453564052201)) is available that can be used with both
the Core AP and its Remote Antennas.
Power Source
The ITS 1.4 GHz Core Access Point receives its 48 VDC operating power source via
its Ethernet LAN cabling from the ITS Power over Ethernet Unit via the ITS Sync Unit.
The AP is not equipped with a power socket. The AP consumes less than 13.8W, and
internally generates a variety of voltages used for its internal components.
The CAT-5 UTP cable within the 74 ft.-cable bundle carries 5.5 VDC power, Transmit
and Receive control signals, and Antenna Diversity signals from the Core AP to a
connected Remote Antenna.
The 75 Ohm coaxial cable within the 74 ft.-cable bundle carries RF and DC sense
signals from the Core AP to a connected Remote Antenna.
Synchronization Signal
The ITS 1.4 GHz Core Access Point receives a synchronization signal from a network
of Sync Units that enables a patient-worn transceiver to hand over data seamlessly
between APs within the coverage area when a patient is ambulatory and to transfer
data to the IntelliVue Information Center without interruption. Each Sync Unit
provides synchronization for up to 12 APs. The Sync Unit also distributes the
common reference clock signal needed by the IntelliVue Telemetry System as a
whole.
Transceiver Mobility
The Philips IntelliVue Telemetry System supports full mobility of patient-worn
transceivers within the area of coverage. This roaming is accomplished via
communications between the transceivers and the Access Points (AP) as follows.
As a patient-worn transceiver is moved around a building, it automatically monitors
the quality of the wireless link to its current AP (and it also detects the presence of
other APs). When the quality starts to deteriorate, the transceiver automatically
establishes a new connection to another AP.
The patient-worn transceiver remains connected to two APs for a finite time, and
thus the same data is received by these APs. During this time, information for
header compression and other data for the connection is routed to the new AP.
1-4
A General Description of the ITS Core Access Point
One of the two APs subsequently releases the radio connection. If a packet is in
progress when a handover occurs, then the packet is reassembled co-operatively
between the two APs.
DRAFT-3
The central station or other ICN central equipment sees an unbroken flow of
complete IP packets.
Technical Alarms
Each AP is configured to signal alarm conditions that are viewed at the IIC in the
wireless status log.
The IntelliVue Access Point is configured to raise alarms on error conditions. The
alarms are sent over the ITS/ICN Ethernet LAN infrastructure to a monitoring station
or Database Sever. The Access Point raises an alarm if:
• it is approaching its maximum load capacity
• if data loss exceeds the configured threshold
• it loses its synchronization signal
For small systems having only one AP and no Sync Unit, the AP can be configured to
suppress the loss of synchronization signal alarm.
Note that the ITS APC provides System Alarms such as loss of synchronization, high
data loss, AP hardware failure, and over capacity. Additionally, when redundant
APCs are installed, the APC will provide a System Alarm for APC hardware or
software failure.
Firmware Updates
You can update the firmware on the ITS 1.4 GHz Core Access Point from the Access
Point Controller by using the Philips Animation Upgrade Wizard. Refer to the service
document entitled IntelliVue Telemetry System Infrastructure Installation and
Service Guide (M3185-91934) for details. The AP firmware image is provided on the
Philips Network Infrastructure Tools CD-ROM.
Management Interfaces
The Access Point supports the full range of management interfaces via the Philips
Access Point Controller (APC). These interfaces also enable you to view the status of
the Access Point including the following information:
• System configuration such as firmware version
• Connection information such as numbers of packets received and transmitted,
and number of errors
• Wave data information such as total number of seconds of data sent and lost
The AP statistics can be read by remote devices (e.g., an ICN Database Server),
using the Scaleable Node Address Protocol (SNAP).
The following status items can be displayed using the APC’s web-accessed graphical
user interface:
• AP Name
• Physical Address
• Partnered AP Controller

Access Point Placement Guidelines
DRAFT-3
Note the following important guidelines when locating ITS Access Points:
• AP antennas must be more than four inches (10 cm) away from metal
structures. If the antennas are too close to the structure, antenna performance
can be degraded.
• A Core AP alone supports 18 wireless clients. When used with a single RA, the
Core AP supports nine wireless clients and its connected RA supports nine
wireless clients (9+9=18). When used with two RAs, the Core AP supports six
wireless clients and its connected RAs each support six wireless clients
(6+6+6=18).
• If there is a need to support more than 18 wireless clients within a single
Radius-of-Coverage cell, Access Points/Remote Antennas can be moved closer
together until the desired density is achieved.
• APs or Remote Antennas shall not be placed closer than three feet (1 m) from
other APs or RAs to prevent signal overload conditions.
• Each ITS Access Point requires a 100Mbps/Full Duplex switch port connection.
• Try to avoid placing APs close to other electrical devices (exit lights, light fixtures,
speakers, etc.). Devices like florescent light ballasts can create a significant
amount of interference that can impact system performance.
• Orient the antennas on ITS APs so that they are perpendicular to the floor.

Mounting the ITS Core AP Above a Ceiling Tile
DRAFT-3
You can mount the IntelliVue Telemetry System Core Access Point above a ceiling
tile by using the mounting rails provided in the Above & Below Ceiling Tile Mount Kit
(862415-K05) for the Core AP and Remote Antennas.
Caution When installing the IntelliVue Access Point onto a suspended ceiling, make certain
the ceiling grid is structurally rated to support the weight of the Core Access Point,
0.79 kg (1.8 lbs), and any extra cabling.
To mount the 1.4 GHz ITS Core AP above a ceiling tile:
1. Determine which ceiling tile the Core AP is be mounted onto, and the
approximate Core AP placement and orientation of the antennas on the tile.
Also, check for adequate clearance above the Core AP.
2. Remove the ceiling tile to which the Core AP will be mounted (and also an
adjacent tile to facilitate installation).
3. Orient the antenna(s) on the Core AP chassis so they bend downward at right
angles to the chassis. Unscrew the collar and rotate the antenna into position
and then retighten the collar to secure the antenna in place.
4. Determine where the two holes for the antennas are going to be located on the
tile and mark the centers of the holes.
The Core AP chassis can be rotated 90 degrees to the mounting rails. Choose
the best placement of the Core AP to facilitate where the antennas will go
through the ceiling tile. Note that there are additional holes in the mounting
rails to allow for tethering to other permanent structures where local building
codes require this type of installation. Refer to Figure 2-6 or Figure 2-7 for the
dimensions used to locate the antenna holes in the tile.
5. Drill out two 3/4-inch (19 mm) diameter holes in the ceiling tile for the

You can mount the IntelliVue Telemetry System Remote Antenna (RA) to a wall using
the mounting screws and screw anchors supplied with the RA. We recommend that
you mount the RA high on the wall as close to the ceiling as possible.
To mount the 1.4 GHz ITS RA to a wall:
1. Using a 3/16-inch drill bit, drill two pilot holes .188 inches (5 mm) in diameter at
the locations shown in Figure 2-14.
2. Tap a supplied plastic screw anchor into each pilot hole until it is flush with the
wall surface.
This step is not necessary if mounting the ITS RA on a wood surface.
3. Screw a supplied #6 x 1 1/4 inch self-tapping screw into each screw anchor (or
pilot hole) as shown in Figure 2-14.
Tighten each screw until a 1/16-inch (2 mm) gap remains between the screw

Mounting the ITS Remote Antenna Above a Ceiling Tile (Mounting Rails)
DRAFT-3
You can mount the IntelliVue Telemetry System Remote Antenna (RA) above a
ceiling tile by using the mounting rails provided in the Above & Below Ceiling Tile
Mount Kit (862415-K05) for the Core AP and Remote Antennas.
Caution When installing the ITS Remote Antenna onto a suspended ceiling, make certain the
ceiling grid is structurally rated to support the weight of the Remote Antenna, 0.32
kg (.7 lbs), and any extra cabling.
To mount the 1.4 GHz ITS RA above a ceiling tile:
1. Determine which ceiling tile the RA is be mounted onto, and the approximate RA
placement and orientation of the antennas on the tile. Also, check for adequate
clearance above the RA.
2. Remove the ceiling tile to which the RA will be mounted (and also an adjacent
tile to facilitate installation).
3. Orient the antenna(s) on the RA chassis so they bend downward at right angles
to the chassis. Unscrew the collar and rotate the antenna into position and then
retighten the collar to secure the antenna in place.
4. Determine where the two holes for the antennas are going to be located on the
tile and mark the centers of the holes.
The RA chassis can be rotated 90 degrees to the mounting rails. Choose the
best placement of the RA to facilitate where the antennas will go through the
ceiling tile. Note that there are two holes in the RA chassis to allow for tethering
to other permanent structures where local building codes require this type of
installation. Refer to Figure 2-16 or Figure 2-17 for the dimensions to locate the
antenna holes in the ceiling tile.
5. Drill out two 3/4-inch (19 mm) diameter holes in the ceiling tile for the
antennas. Lightly coat both plastic grommets with silicone adhesive and insert
them into both holes in the tile (insert grommets from the outside of the tile).
6. Secure the mounting rails to the RA. Insert the four (4) M3 X 0.5 (8 mm LG)
screws into the RA mounting rail holes, and into the mating holes in the back of
the RA chassis as shown in Figure 2-17 or Figure 2-18. Torque-tighten each
screw to 8-inch lbs.
7. Place the RA with mounting rails across the top of the tile.
8. Replace the tile back onto the ceiling frame structure with the RA antennas
hanging down through the ceiling. Wiring connections to the RA can be
accessed via the open adjacent tile.

Access Point Startup Sequence
Upon power on/start up, the ITS Core Access Point will perform a Power-on-Self-Test
(POST) to ensure that its basic components are fully functional.
This test detects critical system failures. As the test progresses the state of the
system is displayed through a series of color combinations on the Power/Sync,
Radio, and Network LEDs on the front of the AP. All three LEDs illuminate AMBER
color, then the Power/Sync LED illuminates GREEN and the other two LEDs turn off
(not illuminated) indicating correct startup. Should a test fail the LEDs are left in a
state which indicates the point at which the test failed. When the system is
transmitting data the radio and network LEDs on the AP will flicker on and off as
data is transmitted.

Maintenance Procedure
DRAFT-3
To ensure that IntelliVue Telemetry System 1.4 GHz Core Access Point (AP) and
Remote Antenna (RA) continue to operate properly, you should perform the following
maintenance tasks periodically:
• Ventilation - The IntelliVue Telemetry System 1.4 GHz Core Access Point and RA
cases are vented to provide air circulation and cooling for the devices. Keep the
immediate area around the AP and RA open to allow for natural air circulation
around the devices. Periodically, dust the AP and RA cases to keep their
ventilation holes open.
• Antenna Orientation - Under normal operation the AP or RA antennas may get
bumped by cleaning crews and/or construction crews and causing the
antennas to move from their original position set at installation.
Periodically check the antennas on all of the APs and RAs at the installation site
for correct orientation, alignment, direction, and placement. If necessary,
loosen the collar on the antenna and adjust the antenna for proper placement,
orientation, and direction. Then, re-tighten the antenna collar to secure the
antenna in place. Generally, you should orient the two local antennas on each
Core AP and RA such that they are perpendicular to the floor.
Troubleshooting the Core AP Using its LEDs
Complete test and inspection procedures for the IntelliVue Telemetry System 1.4
GHz Core Access Point are given in Chapter 5 of the IntelliVue Telemetry System
Infrastructure Installation and Service Guide. You must perform these procedures
