About This Guide
Terminology
Please note the following terms, acronyms, and abbreviations used
throughout this document and in related documentation:
•Access Point (AP) - An IntelliVue Smart-hopping component that
provides bi-directional wireless access to the monitoring network for
IntelliVue Patient Monitors.
•Access Point Controller (APC) - An IntelliVue Smart-hopping component
used to manage the operation of the Access Points. One APC is
elected the Master APC. The Master APC supports the web interface to
the system and manages the master configuration.
•Access Point Group/AP Group - A logical grouping of APs. AP members
of the same AP Group will inherit common configuration settings
(defaults). AP groups will often map logically to the clinical units in
which the IntelliVue Smart-hopping Infrastructure is being installed.
•Database Domain (DBSD) - This term is used to describe the
“network” that contains the Standalone IntelliVue Information Center,
or the IntelliVue Database Server and its connected Information
Centers, Clients, bedsides, and infrastructure. This term applies to
both routed and non-routed topologies.
•IntelliVue Network - This term refers to the entire IntelliVue network. In
a routed topology, the IntelliVue Network includes the routers and all
inter-connected Database Domain(s) and the IntelliVue Smart-hopping
Infrastructure wireless subnet.
•IntelliVue Patient Monitor (IPM) - The IntelliVue Patient Monitor relays
real-time physiological waveforms and trends to the Philips IntelliVue
Information Center (PIIC) or Philips IntelliVue Information Center iX
(PIIC iX).
•IntelliVue Smart-hopping infrastructure - Philips proprietary wireless
network designed for continuous monitoring that provides two-way
communications between IntelliVue Patient Monitors, and the
IntelliVue Information Center.
•IntelliVue Smart-hopping Infrastructure Service Tool - The software
used to upgrade IntelliVue Smart-hopping APCs and APs, verify that
APCs on your network are configured correctly, and display warning
and error messages that you may use to troubleshoot any
configuration errors that may exist on your IntelliVue Smart-hopping
network. The IntelliVue Smart-hopping Infrastructure Service Tool is
also referred to as the Upgrade Tool. This tool was previously referred
to as the Upgrade Wizard.
•IntelliVue Telemetry System (ITS) - Deprecated term for the cellular
wireless architecture that provides two-way communications between
IntelliVue Patient Monitors, and the IntelliVue Information Center. See
IntelliVue Smart-hopping infrastructure.
•IntelliVue Wireless Subnet - This term is used to describe the IntelliVue
Smart-hopping Infrastructure “network” that contains the

infrastructure used in a routed topology to connect IntelliVue Smart-
hopping Infrastructure devices.
•Partnered APC - Configurable element within an AP Group used to
determine which APC will manage the operation of the AP members of
a particular AP Group.
•Power over Ethernet (PoE) Switch - The Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Switch is a 24-port Power-over-Ethernet device that provides 48 VDC
power to IntelliVue Access Points (and also remote Sync Units if
connected) via 100-Base-TX Ethernet LAN cabling. For systems using a
Power over Ethernet Switch, the ITS4844A Tele Synchronization Unit is
required to use the PoE feature of the PoE Switch.
•Power over Ethernet (PoE) Unit - The Power over Ethernet (PoE) Unit is
a 6- or 12-port Power-over-Ethernet device that provides 48 VDC power
to IntelliVue Access Points (and also remote Sync Units if connected)
via 100-Base-TX Ethernet LAN cabling.
•RF Access Code - Configurable element in the IntelliVue Smart-
hopping AP defaults shared among APs and IntelliVue Patient Monitors
to control wireless access to the monitoring network. Portable devices
will only connect to access points with which they share access codes.
The RF Access Code allows a specific wireless client that is
programmed with a matching Access Point RF Access Code to connect
to that Access Point.
•Synchronization (Sync) Unit - The IntelliVue Smart-hopping Sync Unit
provides a necessary common clock signal to synchronize all the
IntelliVue Access Points in the system. As patients ambulate around
the hospital coverage area their transmitted data are handed over
from one AP to another seamlessly without interruption or data loss.
The ITS4844A (866212) IntelliVue Smart-hopping Synchronization
Unit provides the same features as the M4844A (862114) Sync Unit,
but is required to use the PoE feature of the PoE Switch.
•System ID - Configurable element in the APC Configuration to logically
associate Access Points and Access Point Controllers operating within
the same IntelliVue Smart-hopping Infrastructure.
•Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) - The UPS supplies backup power
to protect against hospital generator changeover interruptions, and
short power line transients.
