Adding a device connection

When you edit the configurable service for a MedicalDeviceInput node, use the WebSphere® Message Broker Explorer to add a device connection to add a new device. When you add a device connection, you must select a measurement set for the device, which determines the measurements collected from the device.

Before you start:
  1. Collect the connection parameters for the device you want to add.
  2. Choose a unique device ID for the device you want to add. You specify the device ID when you create a device connection, but you must ensure that every device you connect to the IBM® WebSphere Message Broker Connectivity Pack for Healthcare has a unique device ID.
  3. Ensure that the device you want to add is not used in another device connection. Each device must be used in only one device connection.
  4. Ensure that a measurement set exists that uses the same device type as the device connection you want to create. To add a measurement set, you must use the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit; see Editing the configurable service for a MedicalDeviceInput node by using the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit and Adding a measurement set.
  5. Open the Medical Device Configurable Service editor to edit the configurable service for your MedicalDeviceInput node. See Editing the configurable service for a MedicalDeviceInput node by using the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer.

A device connection specifies the connection parameters for a device and the measurement set that the device uses. You must add a device connection for every device you want to collect data from. You can enter the location of the device, information about the patient that is using the device, notes about the device, and tags for the device. Location, patient, notes, and tag fields are text fields that can be used to filter the list of device connections.

Before you can complete a new device connection, you must specify a measurement set for the connection. The measurement set must use the same device type as the device connection.

To add a new device connection:

  1. In the Medical Device Configurable Service editor, in the Device Connections area, click the New icon.
  2. In the Device Type list, select the type of the device you want to add. A device type is shown in the list only if a measurement set that contains that device type exists.
  3. In the Device ID field, enter an identifier for the device. Ensure that each device you use has a unique device ID.
  4. In the Connection Configuration area, enter the connection parameters for your device:
    1. If your device is connected by a serial port, select Serial and enter the parameters for port, baud rate, parity, data, stop bit, and flow control.
    2. If your device is connected by LAN, select LAN and enter the parameters for host and port.
  5. In the Measurement Set field, select a measurement set for the device. Only measurement sets that use the same device type as the selected device connection are shown. The measurement set specifies the measurements that the device collects.

    You cannot create a measurement set in the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer. To add a measurement set, see Editing the configurable service for a MedicalDeviceInput node by using the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit and Adding a measurement set.

  6. In the Location field, enter the location of the device.
  7. In the Patient ID field, enter identification information about the patient that is using the device.
  8. In the Notes field, enter any notes required for the device.
  9. In the Tags field, enter any tags for the device.
  10. Click OK.
  11. To save your changes, click the Save icon in the upper right of the Medical Device Configurable Service editor.
Next:

If you have finished editing the configurable service for your MedicalDeviceInput node, you must now deploy your configurable service. See Deploying the configurable service for a MedicalDeviceInput node.

To continue editing the configurable service for your MedicalDeviceInput node, see Editing the configurable service for a MedicalDeviceInput node by using the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer.
