When you edit the configurable service for a MedicalDeviceInput node, use the WebSphere® Message Broker Explorer to add a device connection
to add a new device. When you add a device connection, you must select
a measurement set for the device, which determines the measurements
collected from the device.
A device connection specifies the connection parameters
for a device and the measurement set that the device uses. You must
add a device connection for every device you want to collect data
from. You can enter the location of the device, information about
the patient that is using the device, notes about the device, and
tags for the device. Location, patient, notes, and tag fields are
text fields that can be used to filter the list of device connections.
Before
you can complete a new device connection, you must specify a measurement
set for the connection. The measurement set must use the same device
type as the device connection.
To add a new device connection:
- In the Medical Device Configurable Service editor,
in the Device Connections area, click the New icon.
- In the Device Type list, select
the type of the device you want to add. A device type is
shown in the list only if a measurement set that contains that device
type exists.
- In the Device ID field, enter an
identifier for the device. Ensure that each device you
use has a unique device ID.
- In the Connection Configuration area,
enter the connection parameters for your device:
- If your device is connected by a serial port, select Serial and
enter the parameters for port, baud rate, parity, data, stop bit,
and flow control.
- If your device is connected by LAN, select LAN and
enter the parameters for host and port.
- In the Measurement Set field, select
a measurement set for the device. Only measurement sets
that use the same device type as the selected device connection are
shown. The measurement set specifies the measurements that the device
collects.
You cannot create a measurement set
in the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer. To add a measurement
set, see Editing the configurable service for a MedicalDeviceInput node by using the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit and Adding a measurement set.
- In the Location field, enter the
location of the device.
- In the Patient ID field, enter identification
information about the patient that is using the device.
- In the Notes field, enter any notes
required for the device.
- In the Tags field, enter any tags
for the device.
- Click OK.
- To save your changes, click the Save icon
in the upper right of the Medical Device Configurable Service editor.
Next:If you have finished editing the configurable
service for your MedicalDeviceInput node,
you must now deploy your configurable service. See Deploying the configurable service for a MedicalDeviceInput node.
