Configuring Carescape Main Settings

Configure the fields in the Main Settings section of the Vocera Carescape Adapter.

Select an empty field and begin typing, or select an existing value and type over it. To keep an existing value, do not edit that field.
  1. Access the Vocera Carescape Adapter configuration page, and locate the Main Settings section.
  2. Complete the configuration fields as described in the table, for new or existing adapters.
    Configuration Field Description
    Accepted IP Addresses Enter the IP address of the source from which the adapter will receive clinical events from the Carescape network. Use a standard IP address format (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number from 0-255), and enter one server address per line. Vocera recommends that at least one IP address is entered in this field, as an empty field will allow all UDP traffic to be processed by the Vocera Carescape Adapter.
    Warning: Unexpected UDP traffic may be processed by the Vocera Carescape Adapter when the Accepted IP Addresses field is left empty. Enter at least one IP address.
    Alarm Packet Port Enter the port number on which the adapter will receive Carescape clinical event or alarm packets. This field is required. The default port number is 7001.
    Discovery Packet Port Enter the port number on which Discovery packets are monitored to determine if a particular Carescape device starts or stops communicating. This field is required. The default port number is 7000.
    Time Packet Port Enter the port number to monitor to determine if the time used on the GE Carescape network is within a tolerance of the server time. This field is required. The default port number is 2000.
    Report Non-Matching Messages as Audit Events Select the checkbox to record received messages that do not match a message definition as an audit event. Non-matching messages will be found in the audit log as they are received, if enabled.
  3. Select one of the available options to exit the adapter configuration page. See Saving an Adapter for details.
