12-Lead Transmission Overview


The following diagram provides an overview of how the 12-Lead report is transmitted from the
HeartStart MRx through the hub (server running 12-Lead Transfer Station) to its destination. Using
RS 232 transmission, reports are transmitted via a cell phone with internet capability connected to the
MRx’s RS 232 Serial Port. Using Bluetooth ® wireless technology transmission, reports are
transmitted to the hub using configured wireless devices such as cell phones and handheld assistants
with internet capability. Additionally, reports can be sent to a wireless modem connected to an analog
line for areas where cell transmission is unavailable. The 12-Lead Transfer Station then forwards the
report to the selected destination site.

4 The MRx makes a dial-up connection with the Internet through the cell phone.
5 The MRx encrypts the 12-Lead report.
6 The cell phone sends the 12-Lead report through the Internet to the hub (server running
12-Lead Transfer Station).
7 The 12-Lead Transfer Station receives the file and decrypts it.

Bluetooth Transmission Overview 1 Getting Started

8 The 12-Lead Transfer Station forwards the 12-Lead report to printers, fax machines, or other
computers depending on the MRx’s and 12-Lead Transfer Station’s configuration.
9 The 12-Lead report is archived at the 12-Lead Transfer Station for subsequent viewing, faxing,
printing, or forwarding to another 12-Lead Transfer Station or TraceMaster.

Bluetooth Transmission Overview


Setting up a Bluetooth device for transmission involves the following steps:
• Configuring the MRx - You create profiles for the Bluetooth device and configure hub and site
settings through the MRx Configuration menus. A profile is a list of specifications that define how
wireless transmission should work between different Bluetooth devices. You can use the same profile
for similar devices.
• Discovering - The MRx searches for any Bluetooth device in the vicinity. The list of discoverable
Bluetooth devices is displayed on the MRx for you to select. The discovery process is done from the
12-Lead menu.
• Pairing (also called bonding on some Bluetooth devices) - Once you select the discovered Bluetooth
device from the list, you pair it with the MRx. This requires you to enter a pass key on the MRx and
the Bluetooth device. The pairing process is done from the 12-Lead menu.

NOTE You only discover and pair when you add a new Bluetooth device. You can have up to 20 Bluetooth
devices paired to the MRx at any one time.
• Selecting a profile - Once you have discovered and paired with the Bluetooth device, you select the
profile.
• Testing - Once a profile is selected, the MRx tests the profile to determine if the Bluetooth device
can communicate with the 12-Lead Transfer Station. If testing is successful, the message
“Transmission Test Passed” is displayed and you are ready to transmit. If testing fails, the message
“Transmission Test Failed” is displayed along with additional information on where the failure
occurred. Use the tables in the Testing and Troubleshooting chapter to resolve the problem.
• Sending - Once the profile has been successfully tested, you can transmit the 12-Lead report.

Understanding 12-Lead Transfer Station


12-Lead Transfer Station is a software tool that routes 12-Lead reports to printers, fax machines,
TraceMasters, or other 12-Lead Transfer Stations.
12-Lead Transfer Station consists of the following components:
• 12-Lead Transfer Station application — IIS hands over the received data from the MRx to the
12-Lead Transfer Station application. The application saves the data in the appropriate “inbox”.
• Inbox Watcher — Monitors the 12LTS Inbox and the MRx Inbox. Inbox Watcher parses the data
into separate files and moves the data from the inbox into the database.
• MSDE 2000 — The database that stores the 12-Lead report and configuration information.
• 12-Lead Transfer Station Desktop — Displays 12-Lead reports and the System Log, which shows
all 12-Lead Transfer station activity. The Desktop provides the ability to configure manual and
automatic 12-Lead forwarding operations.

1 Getting Started Understanding Circuit-Switched versus Packet-Switched Data Transfer

12-Lead Transfer Station provides two options:


• Automatic Transfer: An MRx sends a 12-Lead report to the 12-Lead Transfer Station. The 12-
Lead Transfer Station forwards the report, according to instructions received from the MRx. The
MRx can instruct 12-Lead Transfer Station to forward the 12-Lead report to a printer, fax device,
TraceMaster ECG Management System, or another 12-Lead Transfer Station. If a 12-Lead report
routinely goes to multiple destinations, a 12-Lead Transfer Station user can set up the additional
destinations. 12-Lead Transfer Station refers to these destinations as the Auto Send List. When the
12-Lead Transfer Station receives the 12-Lead report, it automatically forwards the report to
all destinations on the Auto Send List and the destination specified by the MRx. Automatic
Transfer is the standard operation for 12-Lead Transfer Station.
• Manual Transfer and View: A 12-Lead Transfer Station user can view the System Log to identify a
newly received 12-Lead report. The user can then choose to view the 12-Lead report and forward it
to a printer, fax device, TraceMaster, or another 12-Lead Transfer Station. These actions are in
addition to the automatic forward performed by the 12-Lead Transfer Station. This is
considered a manual operation because the 12-Lead Transfer Station user must select the report to
forward, and then choose the destination. A user may want to do this if an automatic forward was
incomplete or there is an ad hoc request for a report.

Understanding Circuit-Switched versus


Packet-Switched Data Transfer
The MRx transmits 12-Lead reports using the latest technology of packet-switched data transfer. This
section provides a brief overview of the differences between packet-switched and circuit-switched data
transfer methods.
• Packet-switched describes the type of network in which relatively small units of data, called packets,
are routed through a network based on the destination address contained within each packet.
Breaking communication down into packets allows the same data path to be shared among many
users in the network. This type of communication between sender and receiver is known as
connectionless (rather than dedicated).
• Circuit-switched is a type of network such as the regular voice telephone network in which the
communication circuit (path) for the call is set up and dedicated to the participants in that call. For
the duration of the connections, all resources on that circuit are unavailable for other users.

Bluetooth Devices
There are a variety of Bluetooth devices on the market today with many different capabilities. When
purchasing a Bluetooth device, make sure that it has the following capabilities:
• Supports the Bluetooth version 1.1 or greater standard
• Supports the Bluetooth Dialup Networking (DUN) profile
• Compatible with the AT command set standards, such as ETSI TS 100916 and ITU-T V.250

Bluetooth Device Transmission Range


The class of a Bluetooth device is a definition of the maximum range of transmission. The HeartStart
MRx is a Bluetooth Class I device. This means that it is possible for the MRx to communicate with a
Bluetooth device within a maximum distance of 100 meters (approximately 328 feet). However, the
maximum communication distance between two Bluetooth devices is dependent upon the device with
the lowest class. See the documentation that came with your Bluetooth device for more information on
Bluetooth classes.

Additional Bluetooth Device Information


Keep the following points in mind when working with Bluetooth devices:
• Many Bluetooth devices are not discoverable by default. Check your device’s documentation to see if
you need to enable discovery.
• As a general security practice, you should not leave your Bluetooth device in discovery mode.
• Some devices require that you turn on the Bluetooth functionality.
• Some devices may prompt you to authorize each time. Check your device’s documentation to see if
you can configure it to always communicate with the MRx.
• Give your Bluetooth device an easily recognizable name as this is the name that appears on the MRx
menus. The name should be no more than 15 characters in order to display properly on the MRx.
• Bluetooth modems and fax machines use analog lines to transmit data. If you are transmitting using
a Bluetooth modem, plug it into the analog line used by the fax machine.

Adding Bluetooth Devices to the MRx


Up to 20 Bluetooth devices may be configured for use. Adding a twenty-first device replaces the device
used least recently. You cannot add or modify Bluetooth devices during 12-Lead transmission.
Conversely, you cannot transmit a 12-Lead report during Bluetooth device configuration.
To add a Bluetooth device to the MRx:
1 From the 12-Lead Main Menu, select Bluetooth Devices.
2 Select Add Device and press the Menu Select button.
The message “Searching for Bluetooth” devices is displayed.
3 From the Add Devices menu, select the desired device.
You must now pair the device with the MRx, described in the next section.

NOTE Bluetooth devices within the specified range are discovered by the MRx and are displayed on the Add
Device menu, even if you have already paired with the device. If the device you are searching for does
not appear on the Add Devices list, select Search Again.

Pairing a Bluetooth Device with the MRx


After you have added a Bluetooth device to the MRx, you are prompted to enter a passkey to pair (also
called bonding on some devices) the Bluetooth device with the MRx. The passkey is a user-defined
character sequence, such as 000, or 1234, etc. You must ensure that you enter the same passkey on
both the Bluetooth device and the MRx.
If you are pairing with a Bluetooth modem, refer to the device’s documentation to determine the
passkey you should enter.

TIP Some Bluetooth devices only allow pairing for 30 seconds, so be ready to enter the passkey.
1 Use the Navigation buttons to enter the passkey on the MRx and select Done.
The Bluetooth device prompts you for a passkey.
2 Enter the same passkey on your Bluetooth device. See the documentation that came with your
Bluetooth device for instructions.
Once the Bluetooth device has been paired with the MRx, you are prompted to select a profile. See
“Selecting a Bluetooth Profile” on page 19.

RS 232
When purchasing a cell phone, make sure that it has the following capabilities:
• RS 232 electrical interface
• 9-pin D serial cable connection (see Figure 4 for the MRx pin assignments)
• Compatible with the AT command set standards, such as ETSI TS 100916 and ITU-T V.250
Some cell phones configure themselves automatically when they are plugged into the MRx. Other cell
phones may require you to enable the RS 232 port. Read your cell phone documentation and work
with your cell phone provider to set up your cell phone as a modem using the RS 232 port.

Serial Cable Requirements for RS 232 Phones


You need a serial cable that plugs into the MRx and your cell phone. Work with your cell phone
provider to obtain a serial cable that connects to your phone and the MRx with a 9-pin D serial cable
connection. There are also many 3rd-party providers of serial cables.
The MRx end of the serial cable has a 9-pin connector. The following diagram shows the pinouts of
the MRx end of the cable. Table 5 defines the pin assignments.

Cell Phone Service Plan 3 Setting Up the Cell Phone or Bluetooth Device

Cell Phone Service Plan


When selecting a cell phone service plan, make sure that the plan has data transfer capability, usually
referred to as a data plan or Internet plan. The HeartStart MRx is compatible with cell phone plans
that connect a PC to the Internet.
You can purchase unlocked phones directly from some manufacturers, such as Sony Ericsson, and
purchase a SIM card from a service provider, such as Cingular or T-Mobile. A SIM card tells the phone
to which carrier it can connect.

Dial-Up Internet Plan


When transmitting using a Bluetooth modem, you must have a dial-up Internet account that supports
PPP with PAP or MD5 CHAP authentication, such as Earthlink or MSN.

NOTE The MRx does not support plans that use MS CHAP.

4Setting up the Server


This chapter provides an overview of setting up a server to support the 12-Lead Transfer Station. The
information in this chapter assumes that an IT professional is performing the tasks. The information is
an overview and highlights only the configuration required to support 12-Lead Transfer Station. Please
refer to Microsoft documentation for all installation and configuration details.

Overview
This chapter is organized into the following topics:

Choosing an Internet Service Provider (ISP)


Web hosting: To receive 12-lead reports from the HeartStart MRx Monitor/Defibrillator, you need to
have a World Wide Web site. You must host the web site locally on your network. Not all ISPs support
local web hosting.
DNS: Most computers use a static IP address as their permanent address on the Internet. If the
network adapter you use to connect to the Internet has a dynamically assigned IP address (instead of
the static IP address that is the standard), your ISP must support Domain Name System (DNS)
dynamic updates.
The Help and Support Center for Microsoft Server 2003 and XP Professional provides information
about hosting an Internet site on your local network. To access the Microsoft Help and Support
Center, click Start on the Windows task bar. Click Help and Support, and then search for “Hosting a
Web site.” The Microsoft Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/iis has additional information.
Domain name: the HeartStart MRx communicates with 12-Lead Transfer Station through the
Internet. To do this, the HeartStart MRx sends data to an Internet address that you set up for this
purpose. An Internet address is known as a domain name. You will need a domain name. Many ISPs
can obtain and register a domain name for you, or you can do it yourself. For more information, see
the Accredited Registrar Directory at the InterNIC Web site (http://www.internic.net).

Choosing an Operating System


Either of the following operating systems is acceptable for the server:
• Windows XP Professional, SP 2, running IIS 5.1
• Windows 2003 Server, SP1 running IIS 6

23
4 Setting up the Server Reading the Release Notes

Optional Hardware
Depending on your needs, you may want to use additional hardware such as a tape backup device or
fax modem.

24
Installing the Operating System 4 Setting up the Server

• Tape or other backup device: Installing a tape or other backup device is recommended. It is
recommended that you store backup information at a separate location. You should have a plan for
recovering information in the case of a software or hardware failure.
• Modem or fax device: If you plan to use Fax Service to forward 12-Lead reports from the
HeartStart MRx, it is recommended that you dedicate a modem to the 12-Lead Transfer Station.
Having multiple computers trying to use the same modem may result in service conflicts. For
example, a 12-Lead Transfer Station trying to fax a 12-Lead report and a workstation trying to fax a
scanned document could create a conflict. The modem must be on the same computer as the 12-
Lead Transfer Station.
• Printer: If you plan to print 12-Lead reports, you need a printer on the same network as the
12-Lead Transfer Station.

Installing the Operating System


The purpose of this manual is to provide you with instructions specific to setting up the server to
support 12-Lead Transfer Station. You are responsible for making all decisions for supporting your
business and security needs such as installing firewall and anti-virus software. The Microsoft
installation documentation and web site provides instructions for installing and configuring a secure
server. After installing the operating system, make sure that you install all the latest security patches and
updates.
In addition to configuring the system to meet your business and security needs, include the following
configurations:
• Configure the system as an Application Server and install Internet Information Services (IIS)
• Do not delete or rename the IIS default web site page. 12-Lead Transfer Station uses its settings.
• You do not need to install Active Directory service, DHCP server, or DNS server, Front Page
extensions, or ASP.

25
4 Setting up the Server Installing the Operating System

Setting up Internet Information Services (IIS)


12-Lead Transfer Station uses Internet Information Services (IIS) to send and receive information from
the Internet. Although IIS ships with the Windows application, Windows XP does not automatically
install IIS when you install the operating system. You must install IIS separately.
During IIS installation, IIS installs optional components such as Common Files, Documentation, and
the Internet Information Services snap-in. You can choose not to install the optional components;
however, not installing some components can decrease IIS functionality or disable IIS services. If you
are unfamiliar with the optional components, install IIS with the default settings. After you install IIS,
you can view “Installing IIS Optional Components” in the IIS online documentation for more
information.

NOTE You may need your Windows installation CD to complete the setup.

Sample Implementation Plan


The following sample implementation plan provides information on the tasks required to set up the
12-Lead transmission option and the estimated amount of time it takes.

Table 9 Sample Implementation Plan

Task Time Frame


1 Purchase cell phone or Bluetooth device and cell phone service. For RS 232 2 days
phones, work with cell phone provider or 3rd party to obtain serial cable. Modify
cell phone or Bluetooth settings, as needed.
2 Configure MRx for 12-Lead transmission. 30 minutes
3 Prepare hardware and physical location for server installation. For example, 1/2 day
determine if the server will be located in a locked room, how many data ports are
needed, and if you need an uninterruptible power source.
4 Set up ISP. (Provider lead times and availability could take 2 to 3 weeks and 1 day
involve telephone or cable company, ISP, domain name registrar, and physical
wiring to be installed at the site.)
5 If using Bluetooth modem, set up dial-up Internet account. (Provider lead times 1 day
and availability could take 2 to 3 weeks and involve telephone or cable company.)
6 Set up dedicated analog phone line for fax. (Provider lead times and availability 1 day
could take up to 1 week and involve telephone or cable company.)
7 Set up and test server operating system. 2 days
8 Install and configure 12-Lead Transfer Station. 1 hours
9 Test and verify end-to-end 12-Lead transmission from HeartStart MRx to 1 day
destination.

72
Glossary
Auto Send List
The list configured in the Transfer Station Options window. It designates the destination for
automatically forwarding the 12-Lead report.

baud
Units of information transmitted per second. Baud is used as a means of matching transmission and
receiving speeds. Baud is not necessarily the same as bits per second, especially at higher speeds,
although the terms are often used interchangeably.
Baud is the number of signal level changes per second in a line, regardless of the information content of
those signals.

baud rate
Signaling rate (not necessarily the same as bits per second), that is, the number of signaling elements
transmitted each second. See also bits per second.

bit, byte
The basic units of computer information. A bit (from binary digit) is equivalent to the result of a
choice between two alternatives (as yes or no, on or off). A byte is a group of adjacent binary digits that
a computer processes as a unit; the size of a byte in practically all modern systems is eight bits.

bits per second (bps)


Bits per second is the rate of transfer of information bits.

data bits
Data bits are transmitted "upside down and backwards." That is, inverted logic is used and the order of
transmission is from least significant bit (LSB) to most significant bit (MSB).

data encryption
Encrypting data is accomplished by applying a special scrambling code that makes the data unreadable
to anyone who does not have a decryption key. Authorized personnel with access to this key can
unscramble it.

destination
The intended recipient of a 12-Lead report. The destination can be a printer, fax device, a TraceMaster
ECG Management System, or a 12-Lead Transfer Station.

73
Glossary

DNS
The domain name system (DNS) is the way that Internet domain names are located and translated into
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and easy-to-remember "handle" for
an Internet address.

domain
A domain is a group of computers and devices on a network that are administered as a unit with
common rules and procedures. Within the Internet, domains are defined by the IP address. All devices
sharing a common part of the IP address are said to be in the same domain.

flow control
The process of adjusting the flow of data from one device to another to ensure that the receiving device
can handle all of the incoming data. This is particularly important where the sending device is capable
of sending data much faster than the receiving device can receive it. There are many flow control
mechanisms. One of the most common flow control protocols for asynchronous communication is
called xon-xoff. In this case, the receiving device sends a an xoff message to the sending device when its
buffer is full. The sending device then stops sending data. When the receiving device is ready to receive
more data, it sends an xon signal. Flow control can be implemented in hardware or software, or a
combination of both.

HTTP
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the set of rules for exchanging files (text, graphic images,
sound, video, and other multimedia files) on the World Wide Web.

hub
A hardware device providing the interconnection between networked devices. It is called a hub because
the network wiring can be sketched like a spoked wheel with the hub at the center. For 12-Lead
transmission, the hub is the server running 12-Lead Transfer Station.

IP address
An Internet address or IP address is a unique computer (host) location on the Internet (expressed either
as a unique string of numbers or as its associated domain name). Computers use IP addresses to locate
and talk to each other on the Internet, much the same way people use phone numbers to locate and
talk to one another on the telephone.

MD5 Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MD5 CHAP)


A type of authentication in which the authentication agent (typically a server) sends the client a
random value and an ID value. These values are used to create a hash value (a number generated from
a string of text) on the client. The client encrypts the hash value, and sends it with the user’s name and
password over a network. The server then decrypts both the message and the hash, produces another
hash, and compares the two. If they are the same, the client is authenticated.

MSDE 200
The database that stores the 12-Lead report and configuration information.

Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)


A basic form of authentication in which a user’s name and password are transmitted over a network
and compared to a table of name-password pairs.

74
Glossary

Point to Point Protocol (PPP)


Provides a method for transmitting data over serial point-to-point links.

profile
A list of specifications that define how wireless transmission should work between different Bluetooth
devices. For example, you create a profile on the MRx that defines how the Bluetooth device
communicates with the MRx.

protocol
The special set of rules of communication that the terminals or nodes (and related software) in a
telecommunication connection use when they send signals back and forth.

proxy
A computer program that acts as an intermediary between a web browser and a server. To give users
rapid access to popular web destinations, Internet Service Providers use proxy servers as "holding bins"
to store frequently requested pages, rather than going out and fetching them repeatedly from the
Internet.

Report Tree

The list that displays all available 12-Lead ECGs stored in the 12-Lead Transfer Station database. The
right pane of the main window displays the Report Tree.

RS232
A standard developed by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) and other interested parties
specifying the serial interface between Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and Data Communication
Equipment (DCE.) The RS-232 standard includes electrical signal characteristics (voltage levels),
interface mechanical characteristics (connectors), functional description of interchange circuits (the
function of each electrical signal), and some recipes for common kinds of terminal-to-modem
connections. The most frequently encountered revision of this standard is called RS-232C. Parts of this
standard have been "adopted" (with various degrees of fidelity) for use in serial communications
between computers and printers, modems, and other equipment.

serial
Serial transfer is the sequential transmission of the eight bit-voltages that constitute a byte. A
transmitter breaks each byte into bits, then sends the bits one after another; the receiver cooperates by
reassembling the set of bits into a single byte.

Static IP address
A static IP address is a number (in the form of a dotted quad) that is assigned to a computer by an
Internet service provider (ISP) to be its permanent address on the Internet. A dot address (sometimes
known as a dotted quad address) refers to the notation that expresses the four-byte (32-bit) IP address
as a sequence of four decimal numbers separated by dots. Each number represents the binary value of
one of four bytes.

status log
The MRx status log includes entries for all errors logged during normal operating mode, Automated
tests, Service and Configuration Mode, and Operational Checks. It is accessed from Service Mode.

Glossary

system log
System Log displays 12-Lead Transfer Station activity. It is available from the toolbar in the main
window.

TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol over Internet Protocol. The TCP/IP protocol defines how data can be
transmitted in a secure manner between networks. TCP/IP is the most widely used communications
standard and is the basis for the Internet.

URL
Uniform Resource Locator - the addressing system used in the World Wide Web and other Internet
resources. The URL contains information about the method of access, the server to be accessed and the
path of any file to be accessed.
