• Resident presses a button on an NIFX.
• Resident presses a button on a teleCARE IP (wired) peripheral
• NITX sends a movement message to the system.
• A PIR sensor connected to an NIFX detects a movement, the NIFX forwards the detection.

10.6 Time Window
The time window during which the residents can trigger their presence, has a minimum duration of 2
hours and a maximum duration of 23 hours. The window can be set with a precision of one minute.
10.7 System Setup
The resident check-in functionality needs several components of the teleCARE IP system to work
properly.
Residents are registered in the system. Each resident is registered with their name and location. If the
resident uses a wireless device, this is registered as well.
In the configuration GUI of the NISM a time frame is set for the whole site. At the beginning of a new
time frame the NISM compiles a list of all residents being present in the facility, and not being absent.
Every resident uses a wired or wireless peripheral at their specific location to trigger a message to the
teleCARE IP system. The trigger is send as a call to the NIRC3. The NIRC3 sends a resident check-in
message to the NISM. The NISM determines the location of the Resident Check-In call. The NISM
removes the resident from the list.
When the time frame expires the NISM has a list ready with only non-checked-in residents who are
present in the facility. This list can be viewed and printed by the staff. The staff can only view the list
for their assignment area. The list can also be sent automatically to display devices such as room
displays, LED signs and portables.
