The date format applies to the hub/pager displays and the hub web server

pages showing logs, location and maintenance information.

To change the date format click the submit button. This will change the date

format to that shown on the button. The button then changes to show the other

format. For example, a screen similar to the above will be seen if the date is

set to Day/Month/Year format and clicking the ‘Submit mm/dd format’ button

will change the display to Month/Day/Year.

Hub IP configuration

If the hub is to be connected to an Ethernet network the IP address, subnet

mask and gateway should be set within the address range of the network, to

allow the hub to be accessed from the network. In general the port should be

left at the default value, (6113), unless this port is being used for another

application on the network. Once the IP address is configured the hub can only

be accessed using that IP address, so a note should be made of any IP

address that is set. If the address of a hub is unknown it can be obtained from

the front panel. See the EkoTek hub user guide 9261-8276 for details.

Note: An illegal IP setting will return to the system settings screen and the

original settings will be retained.

Remote system connection

For setting up the connection to an external system, such as a paging or nurse

call system. Refer to Appendix 6 ‘External system connections’ (page 85) for

details of remote system configuration.
