Q1, is this needs to configure the central station paired with network port number and Bed Lable?
A: Yes. The bed label needs to be configured for the patient monitor's network port number at the central station. This means, every time you connect any monitor to this port, it will receive the same bed label. Since you have configured the XDS to auto-connect to any monitor with this bed label - this results in XDS auto connecting to any monitor connected to this port.
Q2, if i have HL7 output at central station and central connected to ICN network. XDS box at Bed1 also connected to ICN network. then i have few X2 (different equipment label) connect to Bed1's XDS in different timing, how about Bed Label and equipment label in the HL7 message sending out from central station.
A: In this case, any X2 being connected to this network port will get the bed label Bed1. XDS will auto-connect to any of these monitors. The central will send out the data from the monitor via HL7 with the bed label bed 1, but also with the equipment label configured on the monitor, eg: Monitor with equipment label mon7 will get bed label Bed1, the HL7 message will contain "|Bed 1|Mon7|". This represents the true origin of the data - from bed 1, using the equipment Mon7.
