What is network connectivity and how is it installed?
Network connectivity occurs when the sterilizer is connected to the facility’s mainframe computer system to allow uploading of data from the STERRAD® 100NX™ System to the facility’s computer system. The uploading of data into a facility’s computer system will require information technology (IT) support from the facility for configuration and access control. Additional software may also be required if the data from the STERRAD® 100NX™ system is to be utilized by existing information management systems. Network connectivity requires the use of an Ethernet cable to connect the system to a network. In addition, network settings need to be configured for each system using a unique IP address. Detailed instructions for connecting the system to a computer network are provided in the STERRAD® 100NX™ System User’s Guide. ASP recommends that customers seek the assistance of their facility’s IT support staff when configuring their system for network connectivity.
