System structure

The Flamenco
nected with each other through an intelligent RAN room bus (Room Area Network)
and form a functional unit.
Starting from the room bus, the connection to the next hierarchical level of the system
is established through the room terminals (e.g. ComTerminal Flamenco, RoomTer-
minal Flamenco, ControlTerminal Flamenco). The room terminals form the connec-
tion to the OSYnet group bus and from there to the decentralised system control unit,
the IP-SystemManager. Each IP-SystemManager provides the complete nurse call
function for an organisational group, i.e., ward.
Several IP-SystemManagers are connected to each other through an IP network in-
frastructure, then forming a complete system with cross-ward functions such as ward
coupling or cross-ward speech connection. In the process, the network can be set up
exclusively for the nurse call system or as part of the existing IP infrastructure on site.

Decentralised power supply units provide the electric power for the system. Number
of units and their location depend on the specific demand for electric power.
