System Structure
teleCARE IP is a Local Area Network (LAN) system, based on Internet Protocol (IP) built on a 10/100 Mbit/s IP network. A teleCARE IP system is centrally managed by the teleCARE IP system manager. The system manager contains an on-board Java based web application which can be remotely accessed over the IP network using a web browser (The latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer is recommended, check www.microsoft.com for more details). The decentralised nature of a teleCARE IP system makes it fail safe in such a way that in case of IP network failure the system will continue locally functioning at room level. teleCARE IP systems are versatile and scalable to any required system layout.
1.5
IP Infrastructure Requirements
For details of the IP infrastructure requirements please refer to the IP Infrastructure Requirements document TD 92636.
1.6
1.6.1 Ascom Communications Platform The teleCARE IP system is part of the Ascom Communications Platform. By combining the various Ascom communication systems a customer specific system solution can be provided which can include speech, interactive messaging, local positioning, personal alarm and nurse call services. The Ascom communication systems integrate through UNITE. 1.6.2 UNITE The UNITE system integrates the ACP devices by offering an application level integration layer. UNITE adds messaging, alarm handling, positioning, logging, fault handling, supervision, message routing, group handling, number planning and other mission critical services. UNITE allows the integration of third party equipment. Third party integration can be done via a defined open access protocol on IMS or event detection via several configurable input alternatives on XGate. UNITE also allows third parties to develop their own customer-specific applications to be integrated into the Ascom communications platform through Ascom open server solutions like Open Access Server (OAS) for the MS Windows Common Object Model (COM) and the Open Java Server (OJS) for the Java development platform. 1.6.3 System Enhancement The features of a teleCARE IP system can be enhanced using the Enhance System Service (ESS) module. The ESS adds features like remote management, system supervision, error logging, and message routing. 1.6.4 Migrating Existing teleCARE M and teleCARE SC Systems The teleCARE IP Ward Controller (NIWC) allows migration of existing teleCARE M and teleCARE SC systems and integrate them into a teleCARE IP system.

Typical Installation
1.7.1 Room Bus A typical teleCARE IP installation consists of a teleCARE IP System Manager (NISM) and a number of teleCARE IP Room Controllers (NIRC). Each room controller provides three 4-wire digital room buses. Each room bus has 8 addresses for connecting up to 8 active peripherals such as: corridor lamps, doorside modules, bedside modules, pull cord modules, toilet cancel modules and medical rail modules. One wire in the room bus is used for data, with a data rate of 2kbps. Another wire is reserved for speech communication, and one pair of wires is used for the required power supply from the room controller to the peripheral modules. The peripheral modules on the room bus are constantly monitored and all outputs are short circuit protected. 1.7.2 Passive Bus Several teleCARE IP active peripherals are equipped with a passive bus connector for the connection of additional passive peripherals. See Passive Peripherals on page 31 for an overview of all the interconnections that can be made between active and passive peripherals. 1.7.3 Power Supply The system power supply requirement is 24VDC. This can be distributed from a decentralised external 24VDC two-wire power supply network or as Power over Ethernet (PoE, 802.3 a/f). The cable size, cable length and system load will influence the effective voltage around the system. Therefore the power supply capacity, cable types and wire size must be calculated for each installation. 1.7.4 Security teleCARE IP supports UDP for performance with security aspects handled in the application, the allocation of static IP addresses from a DHCP server in reservation mode and encryption of all data, using a 128 bit algorithm. 1.7.5 Modularity The modularity of teleCARE IP allows for extension and addition of new services to already installed systems. The IP technology allows easy installation of new room controllers and peripheral modules so to extend the existing teleCARE IP system.
1.8
System Configuration
The functionality and configuration of a teleCARE IP system are set up using the teleCARE IP System Manager. The teleCARE IP User Guide (TD 92648GB) gives a full explanation of the teleCARE IP System Manager.

3.1.1 IP Medium teleCARE IP can use any IP medium. An IP medium could for example be a LAN network. The physical connection of NISM, NIRC and NIWC is Ethernet LAN using Cat-5 (or above) 10/100 Base-T or Unshielded Twisted Pair wiring (UTP). Through WLAN Ethernet adapters teleCARE IP can integrate into a customer's wireless local area network (WLAN). 3.1.2 DHCP Server The teleCARE IP network infrastructure requires a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to operate in reservation mode. In DHCP reservation mode the DHCP server assigns to each IP client a permanent IP address. 3.1.3 UNITE Ascoms unified IP-based telecommunication environment (UNITE) serves to integrate the various systems of the Ascom communications platform. UNITE offers system level services such as nurse call, messaging, alarm handling, logging, fault handling, supervision, message routing, group handling, number planning, and other mission critical services. 3.1.4 Messaging Services Messaging services can be provided to a teleCARE IP system by adding Ascom messaging systems such as IP-DECT, VoWiFi and System 900 to the system infrastructure. The NIRD Room Display serves as an Ascom interactive messaging device which can be included as part of any teleCARE IP system. The resulting integrated infrastructure provides the nurse call system with speech, interactive messaging and alarm services. 3.1.5 System Management The teleCARE IP system is centrally managed by the teleCARE IP System Manager (NISM). This is an Elise module that contains the configurations of all teleCARE IP controllers that are part of the teleCARE IP system. The NISM contains a Java based client web application. The client web application is retrieved over the IP medium and runs inside a web browser. 3.1.6 Scalability The scalability of teleCARE IP gives significant freedom when deciding the mix of system services. The options range from basic nurse call, with light guidance and call forwarding, up to hunting chain, nurse and staff assignment services. 3.1.7 Decentralised System Intelligence The teleCARE IP system intelligence is decentralised and contained in teleCARE IP controllers that connect as autonomous nodes to the IP medium. Each teleCARE IP controller has an interface with UNITE. teleCARE IP controllers have a MAC and associated IP address giving them a unique identity at room level in the teleCARE IP system. 3.1.8 Fail Safe In case of failure of the IP network the teleCARE IP controllers will continue locally controlling the connected peripherals. During an IP network failure all existing calls will continue to be locally registered and signalled. As soon as the IP network is available to the teleCARE IP controller again the decentrally stored calls will be fully restored.

Shielded ethernet cables (Cat5e or higher) should be used to connect the NICD to the network. From the build-in web interface the basic configuration of the NICD can be adjusted, for example the IP address, host name and communication port. General text display settings can be set in the NISM2 or in the Unite Connectivity Manager (UCM). Up to 50 NICDs can be added to a single NISM2 or UCM. Extend the system with 50 or more displays by adding 1 or more additional Unite Connectivity Managers (UCM). The NISM2 and/or UCM are used to define such things as message display time, number of stored messages, the colour of the displayed message depending on message priority and buzzer options. The NICD display mode can be constant or scrolling. The display mode can be set to constant (with short blank period inbetween) or to scrolling (from bottom to top) when there are two or more active calls to be displayed. The NICD can display up to 30 different messages. If the maximum number of messages is reached, the oldest message with the lowest priority will be cleared first. When the display is not showing any messages (idle), it can be configured to show the time or any other type of welcome message. 9.1.1 Corridor Display Network Requirements - Ethernet 10 BaseT - half duplex - no auto-crossing

System Monitoring
The teleCARE IP system continuously monitors the state of any connected devices. The monitoring is performed on three levels: UNITE server level - As part of the UNITE system the ESS continuously monitors the state of the System Manager (NISM) and the Integrated Message Server (IMS). teleCARE IP controllers level - The NISM monitors all room and ward controllers. Peripherals level - The teleCARE IP controllers (NIRC, NIWC) monitor the state of all connected active peripherals. Peripherals are monitored for line breaks and hardware malfunctioning. Faults that are detected at peripherals level are also signalled by the related NIRC or NIWC on a corridor lamp, which can be a NIRC-lamp, see Room Controller on page 17, or Corridor Lamp (NICL), see Slave Corridor Lamp on page 20. All detected faults are transmitted and reported to the ESS, from where the faults are further handled. The example in the illustration below shows the ESS connected to a PC which logs any faults which the ESS detects.

Installation Examples
11.1 General
The teleCARE IP room controller has three room buses and typically these can be arranged to serve: One Room In this basic installation all three room buses and any connected peripherals are applied in one and the same room. The signalling of the room is handled by one corridor lamp which is typically integrated into the room controller. Three Rooms In this master-slave installation each of the three room buses and any connected peripherals are dedicated to a separate room. The signalling of the rooms is handled by three corridor lamps; one for each room. In this architecture two of the corridor lamps connect as slaves to the room controller which typically has an integrated corridor lamp.

Appendix A: Duty Selector Functions
The Duty Selector (NIDS) enables calls from rooms or beds to be organised in predetermined groups and sent as call forwarding signals or pager messages. Configuring a system with duty selectors is done with the teleCARE IP System Manager GUI. The groups can be joined in various combinations through the duty selector to coincide with varying situations in the ward, such as daytime and night-time shifts. The duty selector offers ten settings ranging from 0 to 9. The example below shows a ward with 12 rooms divided into 4 sections (A, B, C and D). Three positions on the duty selector have been defined as follows: 1 = day shift, 2 = evening shift and 0 = night shift.
Figure 69. Duty selector and call forwarding groups With the duty selector in position 1, calls from section A will be signalled to group 1, section B will be signalled to group 2, section C to group 3 and section D to group 4. With the duty selector is in position 2, calls from section A and B are signalled to group 5. Calls from section C and D are signalled to group 6. With the duty selector in position 0, calls from sections A,B,C and D are all signalled to group 7. The duty selector position 0 also switches off the buzzers of the doorside modules in the rooms and re-directs the buzzer output to the input of the night buzzer at the nurses station.
