Introduction Introduction This document provides detailed procedures for the installation and configuration of the software and hardware necessary needed for wireless transmission of data from the MAC 5000 resting ECG analysis system to the MUSE CV information system. Once this option is properly installed and configured, the modem of the MAC 5000 is not used, or required, in order to transfer and receive data from or to the MUSE system.
5D: 005D.04 or higher, 5E: 005E.08 or higher Customer Responsibility GE Service is responsible for the initial installation and configuration of the MobileLink wireless communication for ECG. Any changes made to configuration, security, etc. by the customer after the initial installation are the responsibility of the customer.
Before You Begin Before You Begin Print the Configuration Capture File Be sure all the information about this system has been accurately entered into the Configuration Capture file (2002783-067). Prior to this installation, you may have received a copy of this file from Project Management with information gathered during pre-installation.
Installation Procedures Installation Procedures Client Bridge Configuration 127( As you configure the bridge, be sure that the information is accurately recorded on the Service Label (one provide with each client bridge) and that this information matches the information in the Configuration Capture file (2002783-067) and the information entered during the configuration.
