Central Server and Client computers used to run the software as well as Pagers and Walkie-Talkie information.
Central Server and Client
Computers
The Central Server is a PC-compatible computer that runs the software. It contains the database and provides
communication with devices in the system as well as the Client computer(s).
Depending on your configuration, the system can include several Client computers. The Client computers allow
the user to perform such functions as admitting, discharging, and authorizing transfers and escorts. Each Client
computer includes a touchscreen monitor that displays alarms as they occur on a floor plan of the facility.
The Central Server can be located in any area such as the nurse’s
central station or security office. It must be located near a
dedicated analog phone line for remote access. Each Client
computer must be located in a secure area that can be accessed
by staff to enter and retrieve information.
