Ip Network; Requirements For Integration Into Networks - Tunstall FlamencoIP Technical Manual

Through an IP network (LAN), all IP-SystemManagers of the nurse call system com-
municate with each other and with external devices or systems (e.g., PBX) connect-
ed to the nurse call system through the IP network. A ManagementCenter
connected to the nurse call system through the IP network. Both data and voice
(VoIP) are exchanged through the IP network. 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.
The following describes basic requirements on a network and individual components
to enable the secure communication of the nurse call system.
These are minimum requirements that must be coordinated with the respective per-
son responsible for IT. From the viewpoint of IT, requirements on the nurse call sys-
tem can also result in order to use the existing networks together and securely.

Requirements for integration into networks

The Flamenco
VDE 0834 that can be integrated into existing network structures insofar as support-
ed by the necessary standards.
Even though the nurse call system can be integrated into existing infrastructures
without a problem, some services (e.g., DHCP) are fundamentally provided by the
Flamenco
5.1.1 Physical connection
The components of the Flamenco
ed in every Ethernet infrastructure based on standard IEEE 802.3 (VLAN tags ac-
cording to 802.1q are not supported by the components/terminal devices).
Connection takes place using 10Base-T/100Base-TX switch ports with auto-sensing
of the operating modes. PoE is not required and should be deactivated if possible.
5.1.2 Flamenco
All components of the nurse call system must be operated in their own subnets
(broadcast domains/LANs/VLANs/LISes) according to the planning documents to
avoid interference effects due to external network components. These subnets are
called Flamenco domains in the following.
The communication of the system components is implemented through Internet Pro-
tocol Version 4 (IPv4) and uses both unicast/broadcast and multicast.
Individual Flamenco domains (subnets) can be connected through existing network
infrastructures to realise spatial expansion.
For the problem-free integration of the Flamenco
tures, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
1. The communication of all Flamenco
be possible in an unlimited manner that is transparent in regard to protocols.
