Chapter 1: Overview
The ITS4843B/C 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 ITS4843D Radiohead Core AP is a modular antenna infrastructure consisting of
a Core AP (CAP) with up to two connected Model ITS4846B 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.
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
