TC10 Network Configure

PageWriter TC Cardiograph
Network Configuration Guide Addendum

for the TC10 Cardiograph
The PageWriter TC Cardiograph Network Configuration Guide (PN 453564114441) provides
instruction for configuring network (wired and wireless) or modem connectivity between the
Philips PageWriter TC cardiographs (TC70, TC50, TC30, and TC20) and external order and
ECG management systems.
Network configuration for the PageWriter TC10 cardiograph, however, requires a unique set
of instructions for two reasons:
 the PageWriter TC10 communicates via wireless connection only – LAN, ethernet, fax,
and modem communication are not supported
 the PageWriter TC10 user interface’s naming conventions for screens, tabs, and fields
differ from those of the other PageWriter TC cardiographs
This addendum should be used in conjunction with the PageWriter TC Cardiograph Network
Configuration Guide, as it provides guidance for network configuration tasks that are specific
to the PageWriter TC10 cardiograph.
This addendum is structured to address the PageWriter TC Cardiograph Network
Configuration Guide chapter by chapter and presents only those sections with significant
points of difference between the PageWriter TC10 cardiograph and the other PageWriter TC
cardiographs. Please note that once a general point is made (e.g., LAN, fax, and modem
connectivity do not apply to the TC10), the point applies throughout the rest of the PageWriter
TC Cardiograph Network Configuration Guide. Therefore, this addendum does not identify
for deletion every instance or occurrence of references to LAN, fax, or modem. Wherever
possible, this addendum provides examples of screens applicable to the PageWriter TC10
cardiograph.
