Database Server Systems - Philips M3150B Installation And Service Manual

Network Design
Database
The design of a Database Server (DBS) system depends on the type of patient monitors

monitors.
The design of DBS Server systems involves two major steps. The first is to determine the
switch requirements, that is, the number of switches required, and the devices (PCCs, central
monitors and review stations, M3/M4 monitors, IntelliVue patient monitors, access points)
that will be connected to each switch port. The second is to determine the Cable Plant
requirements -- cabling types and lengths and components (wall boxes, repeaters, media
translators) necessary to interconnect network devices.
Note This manual does not describe the design and implementation of DBS Server systems in detail
because each clinical environment requires careful analysis by an experienced network
designer. Philips Service Providers are specially trained to assist customers in reviewing their
clinical requirements and designing a Server system that meets those requirements and will be
supported by Philips Medical Systems.
The general concepts and capabilities of Server components and systems given here should
only be used as a reference for understanding the final design. Two examples are provided to
illustrate the design process.
Consult a Philips Service Provider for Server system design advice.
Connecting Review the locations of the network devices and select the repeaters, media translators, cable
Devices types and lengths required to interconnect them. The IntelliVue Clinical Network
documentation provides examples, details and connection type diagrams that can assist in the
connection planning.
Drawing the The final step is to draw the Patient Care Network using the devices, components, and
Design cabling. Your final design should show all relevant information (Device Names, Locations,
Cable Types and Lengths, etc.).
