5 APPLICABILITY: CONFLICT WITH THE HOSPITAL NETWORK
Within the Senographe system is a TCP/IP network that allow the ADS Computer, IDC and Gantry
(Poseidon) components to communicate internally among each other. By default, this internal network
uses a private network of 192.168.1.0 with a Netmask 255.255.255.0.
On some sites, the hospital network can also be 192.168.1.0. In this case there can be IP address con-
flicts between the hospital and Senographe system networks. The conflicts can arise since some of the
nodes on the hospital network may have the same IP address as the default IP addresses assigned to
the Senographe system components. If such a conflict exists, the Senographe system cannot be used
on the hospital network until you have changed the Senographe system internal IP addresses.
The new Senographe system internal IP addresses can be one of the other non-routable, private net-
works; 10.xxx.xxx.xxx, 172.16.xxx.xxx to 172.31.xxx.xxx or 192.168.xxx.xxx.
In the following example, the Senographe system default internal IP addresses on the 192.168.1.0 net-
work have been changed to be on the 192.168.100.0 network.

Gantry CPU (Poseidon)
The IDC Table, Laptop and Titan entries in the table above are components that no longer exist. How-
ever they still must be configured and retained in the Senographe system for legacy reasons.
Changing the Senographe system internal IP addresses does not affect any of the features of the sys-
tem (service features, service desktop, calibration menus, diagnostic menus, etc.). However, it does
affect performing upgrades of the Senographe system components (see
