Chapter 1: Overview
Introduction
The IntelliVue Smart-hopping infrastructure uses a cellular wireless architecture to
provide two-way communications between IntelliVue Patient Monitors and the
IntelliVue Information Center.
Using the “IntelliVue Smart-hopping” wireless protocol, the IntelliVue Smart-hopping
infrastructure provides monitoring capabilities for ambulatory patients within a wide
coverage area. The IntelliVue Smart-hopping IntelliVue Patient Monitors and
infrastructure operate on the 1.4 GHz US Wireless Medical Telemetry Service
You can configure the Access Point Controller to communicate with IntelliVue 1.4
GHz IntelliVue Smart-hopping Access Points (APs). IntelliVue 1.4 GHz APs can only
communicate with 1.4 GHz IntelliVue Patient Monitors.
IntelliVue Smart-hopping networks utilize a cognitive radio that senses the RF
environment and adapt to it. Dynamic wireless channel allocation ensures best use
of available wireless spectrum. The IntelliVue Smart-hopping infrastructure is
designed to co-exist with other 802.11 wireless deployments.

A General Description of the IntelliVue Smart-hopping Core Access Point
The IntelliVue Smart-hopping Core Access Point (AP), Model ITS4843B (Figure 1-2),
provides an air-link to transmit and receive data between IntelliVue Smart-hopping
IntelliVue Patient Monitors and the Philips IntelliVue Information Center via the
IntelliVue Smart-hopping infrastructure.
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 IntelliVue Smart-
hopping infrastructure.
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 IntelliVue Patient Monitors
regardless of its component configuration. A Core AP alone supports 18 IntelliVue
Patient Monitors. When used with a single RA, the Core AP supports nine IntelliVue
Patient Monitors and its connected RA supports nine IntelliVue Patient Monitors
(9+9=18). When used with two RAs, the Core AP supports six IntelliVue Patient
Monitors and its connected RAs each support six IntelliVue Patient Monitors
(6+6+6=18).
When monitored patients are ambulatory, data roaming is handled seamlessly
between the other IntelliVue Access Points in the coverage area. 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.

Chapter 1: Overview
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 IntelliVue Smart-hopping 1.4 GHz Core Access Point receives its 48 VDC
operating power source via its Ethernet LAN cabling from Power over Ethernet via
the IntelliVue Smart-hopping 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 IntelliVue Smart-hopping 1.4 GHz Core Access Point receives a synchronization
signal from a network of Sync Units that enables an IntelliVue Patient Monitor 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
Smart-hopping infrastructure as a whole.
IntelliVue Patient Monitor Mobility
The IntelliVue Smart-hopping infrastructure supports seamless roaming of IntelliVue
Patient Monitors within the area of coverage. This roaming is accomplished via
communications between the IntelliVue Patient Monitors and the Access Points (AP)
as follows.
As an IntelliVue Patient Monitor 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 IntelliVue Patient
Monitor automatically establishes a new connection to another AP.
The IntelliVue Patient Monitor 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.
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.
The PIIC or PIICix receives an unbroken flow of complete IP packets.

Technical Alerts
Each AP is configured to signal alert conditions that are viewed at the IIC in the
wireless status log.
The IntelliVue Access Point is configured to raise alerts on error conditions. The
alerts are sent over the IntelliVue Smart-hopping/ICN Ethernet LAN infrastructure to
a monitoring station or Database Sever. The Access Point raises an alert if:
• 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 alert.
Note that the IntelliVue Smart-hopping APC provides System Alerts 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 Alert for APC
hardware or software failure.
Firmware Updates
Firmware on the IntelliVue Smart-hopping 1.4 GHz Core Access Point is upgraded
from the Access Point Controller by using the Upgrade Tool. Refer to the service
document entitled IntelliVue Smart-hopping Infrastructure Installation and Service
Guide for details. The AP firmware image is provided on the Smart-hopping
Telemetry Service Tool CD-ROM.
Management Interfaces
The Access Point supports the full range of management interfaces via the
IntelliVue Smart-hopping 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 interface:
•AP Name
•Physical Address
• Partnered AP Controller
•IP Address
•Subnet Mask
• Default Gateway
•AP Type

IntelliVue Smart-hopping Core AP Status LEDs
The IntelliVue Smart-hopping Core AP provides the following status LEDs.
•Wired/Ethernet Activity - The Core AP provides two LEDs to indicate wired/
Ethernet activity to the IntelliVue Smart-hopping infrastructure. During normal
operation, these LEDs indicate the following information:
-Link LED - Link present/Ethernet connection. Lights GREEN (ON) when a
pass-through link is present - OFF when not present.
-Act LED - Wired network activity. Flashes YELLOW (ON) when there is activity
over the wired network.
•Wireless/RF Activity - The Core AP provides three LEDs to indicate wireless/RF
activity. During normal operation, these LEDs indicate the following information:
-Power/Sync LED - GREEN (ON) when power and synchronization signal is
present.
-Radio LED - Normally OFF (not lit) - flashes green to indicate wireless network
activity.
-Network LED - Normally OFF (not lit) - flashes green to indicate wired network
activity.
At initial power on the AP runs a Power On Self-Test (POST). During the POST, the
above LEDs indicators flicker and then all three will illuminate continuously
(AMBER) to indicate correct startup operation. Then, the Power ON LED will
illuminate (GREEN) continuously to indicate that the 48Vdc power and sync
signal are being supplied, and the other two (AMBER) LEDs turn off (not lit).
•Remote Antenna - The Core AP provides two LEDs on each RJ-45 UTP cable
connector that provides status on a connected Remote Antenna:
-RA Connection - Lights GREEN to indicate a RA is connected to the Core AP.
-RA Power - Lights YELLOW to indicate connected RA is receiving power from
the Core AP.

Chapter 2: Installing the IntelliVue Smart-hopping 1.4 GHz Core Access Point
Access Point Placement Guidelines
Note the following important guidelines when locating IntelliVue Smart-hopping
Access Points:
• Consider building construction when placing APs to account for interference
from ceramic wall tile, lead lined walls, elevator shafts, reinforced windows, and
other obstacles which may cause signal degradation.
• APs should not be placed in locations with more than one wall between the AP
and the coverage area.
• Ensure that the coverage area takes into account bathrooms, hallways, and
windows.
• 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.
• AP antennas must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least eight
inches (20 cm) from all persons and must not be collocated or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
• A Core AP alone supports 18 IntelliVue Patient Monitors. When used with a
single RA, the Core AP supports nine IntelliVue Patient Monitors and its
connected RA supports nine IntelliVue Patient Monitors (9+9=18). When used
with two RAs, the Core AP supports six IntelliVue Patient Monitors and its
connected RAs each support six IntelliVue Patient Monitors (6+6+6=18).
• If there is a need to support more than 18 IntelliVue Patient Monitors 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 IntelliVue Smart-hopping 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 IntelliVue Smart-hopping APs so that they are
perpendicular to the floor.

IntelliVue Smart-hopping 1.4 GHz High-power Access Point Installation Guide 2-9
Mounting the IntelliVue Smart-hopping Core AP Above a Ceiling Tile
You can mount the IntelliVue Smart-hopping 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 IntelliVue Smart-hopping 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

2. Remove the ceiling tile the Core AP will be mounted to (and also the adjacent
tile to facilitate installation).
3. Refer to Figure 2-8 for all dimensions and hole locations. Place the mounting
rails across the tile (underside of tile). For ceiling tiles that are smaller than
standard 2’ x 4’ size ceiling tile, the mounting rails can be cut down in length at
the u-shaped cutouts.
4. Mark the location of the AB screw holes in the mounting rails on the ceiling tile
where the holes will be drilled through the tile as shown in Figure 2-9. Drill four
.375-inch (10 mm) diameter holes in the ceiling tile.
5. Determine where the two holes for the Remote Antenna cables are going to be
located on the tile and mark the centers of the hole.
Note that one of these holes will also be used to route the CAT 5 cable that
connects the Core AP to the Sync Unit on the IntelliVue Smart-hopping
infrastructure.
6. Drill or cut out two .813-inch (21 mm) diameter holes for the Remote Antenna
cables to be connected to the Core AP. Lightly coat a plastic grommet with
silicone adhesive and insert it into each hole in the tile (insert grommet from the

Mounting the IntelliVue Smart-hopping Core AP Below a Ceiling Tile (Quick
Release)
You can mount the IntelliVue Smart-hopping Access Point below a ceiling tile by
using an optional quick release wall plate along with the mounting rails provided in
the Above & Below Ceiling Tile Mount Kit for the Core AP and Remote Antennas
(862415-K05). Use of this wall plate enables you to relocate 1.4 GHz IntelliVue
Smart-hopping Core APs within your facility quickly and easily.
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 Access Point, 0.7kg
(1.5 lbs), and any extra cabling.
To mount the 1.4 GHz IntelliVue Smart-hopping Core AP below a ceiling tile:
1. Determine which ceiling tile the Core AP is be mounted onto, and the
approximate placement of the Core AP and orientation of the antennas hanging
down from the ceiling tile.
2. Remove the ceiling tile to which the Core AP will be mounted (and also the
adjacent tile to facilitate installation).
3. Refer to Figure 2-11 for all dimensions and hole locations. Place the mounting
rails across the tile (underside of tile). For ceiling tiles that are smaller than
standard 2’ x 4’ size ceiling tile, the mounting rails can be cut down in length at
the u-shaped cutouts.
4. Mark the location of the AB screw holes in the mounting rails on the ceiling tile
where the holes will be drilled through the tile as shown in Figure 2-12. Drill four
.375-inch (10 mm) diameter holes in the ceiling tile.
5. Determine where the two holes for the Remote Antenna cabling are going to be
located on the tile and mark the centers of the hole.
Note that one of these holes will also be used to route the CAT 5 cable that
connects the Core AP to the Sync Unit on the IntelliVue Smart-hopping
infrastructure.
6. Drill or cut out two .813-inch (21 mm) diameter holes for the Remote Antenna
cables to be connected to the Core AP. Lightly coat a plastic grommet with
silicone adhesive and insert it into each hole in the tile (insert grommet from the
outside of the tile).
7. Place the AP wall plate over the four holes drilled on the bottom of the tile. Note:
The top of the tile is the side facing up when the tile is in its installed position.
8. Insert the four (4) M3 .5 x 0.6 x 30mm screws into the AP wall plate, through the
tile, and into the mating holes in the mounting rails on top of the tile. Hand
tighten the four locking hex nuts onto the screws, and then torque-tighten each
nut to 10-inch lbs (#1 Pozidrive).
9. Using a 5/64-inch (2 mm) Allen (i.e., hexagonal) wrench, secure the four
supplied M3 X 0.5 hex-head shoulder screws to the back of the Core AP as
shown in Figure 2-13. Torque-tighten each shoulder screw to 8-inch lbs.

AP Configuration Information
Refer to the IntelliVue Smart-hopping Infrastructure Installation and Service Guide
for complete details about configuring the IntelliVue Smart-hopping AP.
Access Point Startup Sequence
Upon power on/start up, the IntelliVue Smart-hopping 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
To ensure that IntelliVue Smart-hopping 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 Smart-hopping 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.
