Understanding the Propaq CS, Acuity, and the
™
FlexNet

Network

The Propaq CS monitor can communicate with an Acuity
part of Welch Allyn's FlexNet network. FlexNet allows multiple devices to
communicate through hardwired Ethernet networks and Wireless Local Area
Networks (WLANs). The Acuity Central Station provides central patient
monitoring for monitoring devices connected to the network.
As shown below, the Propaq CS can communicate through a hardwire Acuity
connection. In addition, the Propaq CS can also be equipped with the
Wireless option which allows two-way wireless communication with an
Acuity Central Station through an access point in the FlexNet network. The
access point is a digital radio transceiver that connects to the FlexNet
network.
