central and bedside should be provided locally. Functional issue related to élance
Central Station software should be reported to EMO GTS after confirming the cause is
not related to PC hardware, Windows O/S, service patch, incompatibility with other
software, network failure or user error.

Computer Hardware Test

hardware problems. Ensure Device Manager has no “unknown” device and device driver
is the correct one. Ensure display resolution is correctly set according to required
hardware specification (Refer to Chapter 2). Please contact the PC vendor for further
technical support and repair.

Operating System Test

For Windows O/S related problems, please contact the O/S supplier for support and
restoration of the operating system. The Windows “Event Viewer” may be used to obtain
the error information for communication with the O/S vendor.

Central Network
