Associated stations

All stations in a given patient room are typically associated with
each other. This means that calls from any device in the room are
identified at the staff console and annunciator by the same room
number.
By default, the patient station, bed call buttons, smart pillow
speakers, call cords/connected medical equipment, and the corridor
lights for a patient room are associated. Lavatory stations can also
be associated with patient or Smart Staff/Duty Stations, making it
possible for lavatory emergency calls to sound at the associated
auditory stations.

Linked buttons

When stations are associated, it is also possible to link like buttons
on all stations in the group. For example, a room contains the
following group of associated stations:
• Patient station
• Code blue station
• Staff emergency station
• Remote cancel station
In addition, the Cancel, Code and Emerg buttons are linked. The
linked buttons perform as follows:
• Pressing the Code or Emerg button on one of the peripheral
stations causes the patient station's Code or Emerg button LED
to light, and its Call status light to light.
• Pressing the Code or Emerg button on the patient station
causes the respective peripheral station's Code or Emerg button
LED to light.
• Pressing the Code or Emerg button on either the patient station
or on the respective peripheral station causes a call assurance
tone to sound at the patient station.
• Pressing the Cancel button on any linked station cancels a call
from any station in the room.
Associating stations in a patient room and linking all like buttons by
room or bed makes using the Telligence nurse call system easier
and staff members' work more efficient.
Notes
• Only like buttons can be linked — For example, the Emerg
button on the patient station cannot be linked to the Code
button on the code blue station.
