Revision D MobileLink 1
2002783-060
Introduction
Introduction
This document provides detailed procedures for the installation and
configuration of the software and hardware necessary needed for
wireless transmission of data from the MAC 5000 resting ECG analysis
system to the MUSE CV information system. Once this option is properly
installed and configured, the modem of the MAC 5000 is not used, or
required, in order to transfer and receive data from or to the MUSE
system. To the MAC 5000 user who is transmitting data to the MUSE
system, the functionality of the MobileLink option and the modem option
are the same.
127(
Sending a report from the MUSE system to the MAC 5000 is not
supported by the MobileLink option.
General Information and Guidelines
These are the conventions used in this manual.
 Items shown in Bold text are keys on the keyboard, text to be
entered, or hardware items such as buttons or switches on the
equipment.
 To perform an operation which appears with a plus (+) sign between
the names of two keys, you press and hold the first key while
pressing the second key once. This is called a keystroke combination.
For example, “Press Ctrl + Esc” means to press and hold down the
Ctrl key while pressing the Esc key.
 When instructions are given for typing a precise text string with one
or more spaces, the point where the spacebar must be pressed is
indicated as: [Space]. The purpose of the [ ] brackets is to ensure
you press the spacebar when required.
 Enter means to press the “Enter” or “Return” key on the keyboard.
Do not type “enter”.
 Italicized items are software terms which identify menu items,
buttons, or options in various windows.
Revision History
Each page of the document has the document part number and revision
letter at the bottom of the page. The revision letter changes each time the
document is updated.

Before You Begin
Before You Begin
Print the Configuration Capture File
Be sure all the information about this system has been accurately
entered into the Configuration Capture file (2002783-067). Prior to this
installation, you may have received a copy of this file from Project
Management with information gathered during pre-installation. If so,
use that copy of the Configuration Capture file. If you have not received a
Configuration Capture, you can obtain a blank version of this file on the
MobileLink CD (PN 2015391-001). Print a copy of this file as a reference
to use during the installation. During installation, you will be adding
information to this file and storing the completed file on the MUSE file
server.

Client Bridge Configuration
127(
As you configure the bridge, be sure that the information is
accurately recorded on the Service Label (one provide with each
client bridge) and that this information matches the information in
the Configuration Capture file (2002783-067) and the information
entered during the configuration. After configuration is done and the
information has been entered on the label, you will be asked to apply
the label to the bottom of the client bridge bracket assembly.
Service Label
1. Connect the client bridge to a computer using a straight through
network cable. Plug in the AC adapter for power.
127(
In order for the symbolst.exe application to work properly, the
computer must be connected ONLY to the client bridge. Any
other network communications will cause errors with the
application.
If the computer is unable to access the client bridge, see
“Troubleshooting” on page 27 for a suggested remedy.
2. Insert the MobileLink CD.
3. Execute the SymbolStationManager program by double-clicking the
symbolst.exe file.

21. Set up the Encryption tab to match the encryption being used on the
access point.
If the access point is not using encryption, be sure that the Enable
encryption checkbox is not checked as shown below.
Encryption Not Enabled
However, if encryption is being used, check the Enable encryption
checkbox and select the appropriate Transmit key option. The
transmit key is the key which will be used by the client bridge to
encrypt messages sent via the PC card.
Enter up to four encryption key values. The values may be either text
(ASCII) strings or hexadecimal numbers. The table below
summarizes the rules for entering the encryption keys.
127(
All keys entered in this window must be of the same encryption
level (40-bit or 128-bit).
Hexadecimal values must be preceded by 0x and are composed of
the numbers 0to 9and letters Athrough F(or athrough f).
ASCII keys must not begin with 0x.
A key must always be entered in the key4 field. This value is
used by the system to determine whether the key is40 or 128-bit.
The value in key4 must be in the correct format and it must be
the same length as the other key. The easiest way to make sure it
is correct is to copy the other key and paste it into the key4 field.
22. Select the Update and Reset Unit button.

Installation Procedures
23. If this is the first client bridge to be configured, select File →Save
Configuration and browse to a location on your hard drive to save
this configuration file.
127(6
For security reasons, the encryption information does not get
stored as part of the saved Configuration Capture file. If the
customer is entering the encryption information for each bridge,
they will need to be aware of this information, and be prepared to
type the encryption key into the setup for each client bridge.
When you are configuring more client bridges, select File →Load
Configuration. Browse to the location on your hard drive where
the configuration was saved in step 23. As you configure more
client bridges, the configuration of the first bridge will appear.
Change settings where appropriate. If done accurately, this will
save time in configuring the other client bridges.

power supply assembly to the bracket (two screws from the power
supply and one which holds the nylon strain relief to the bracket).
Discard the nylon strain relief. Set the three screws aside.
4. Unsnap the client bridge from its mounting plate. Remove client
bridge/power supply assembly from bracket and disconnect the
power cable from the 5VDC connector on the client bridge.
5. Replace the two screws which were removed in step 3 into the power
supply housing. Remove the other two screws (diagonally opposite
from the two screws just replaced) and set aside along with the screw
for the strain relief. They will be needed later when mounting this
assembly to the original style bracket.
