2 Software installation phases
The software installation has two main phases:
1. Software transfer. Transfer the software using the GE Healthcare Software Transfer Utility
that runs on a service PC. With this application, you transfer new software to the patient
monitors over the CARESCAPE Network IX (IX Network) or a crossover cable. The new,
transferred software is inactive in the patient monitor(s) until you intentionally activate it.
2. Software activation. Activate the software using the web-based service interface, Webmin,
either over a local or remote access. You can activate the software in a patient monitor only
when it is in a discharged state. You can start the software activation either immediately or
after the next case end / patient discharge, and for one patient monitor at a time.
• In the host software activation, the inactive and active software versions are swapped.
The inactive software becomes the active software and the previous active software
becomes the inactive software.
• In the module software activation (sGAS/PiCCO/PDM/NMT/E-LoFlo), the inactive

software is installed into the connected parameter module. The old active software is
erased. During the software transfer, the module software is stored into the patient
monitor’s memory. During the activation, the module software is installed from the
patient monitor’s memory to the module. The module must be connected to the
monitor for the activation.
• B850 only. In EMBC and UIC software activation, the inactive software is installed into
the connected peripheral device. The old active software is erased. During software
transfer, the software is stored into the patient monitor’s memory. During the
activation, the software is installed from the patient monitor’s memory to the device.
The device must be connected to the monitor for the activation.

5 Installing software
NOTE: These installation instructions cover the software installation to patient monitors that
have the IX Network connector (labeled “IX”).
Refer to Appendix A for details about how the steps 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.7 and 5.8 differ in case you
have a CARESCAPE Monitor B650 that has the Standard Interface Board with only a MC Network
connector (labeled “MC”).
5.1 Checking the network settings of the patient monitors

Check the IX Network settings of the patient monitors. Contact the biomed or hospital IT to
obtain the network settings of the patient monitors, or check the settings from the patient
monitors by following these instructions:
Software transfer over a direct connection
1. Turn on the patient monitor.
2. Select Monitor Setup > Service.
3. Record the IX IP Address and IX Netmask of the IX Network.

Network settings:
IX IP Address: ___________________
IX Netmask: ___________________
NOTE: If the shown IX IP Address is 0.0.0.0, the patient monitor is configured to receive its IX IP
address from a DHCP server. Log in to Webmin locally and configure the IX Network to use a
static IP address and netmask.
Software transfer over the IX Network
Determine if the patient monitors in the IX Network are configured to use a static (manual) or
dynamic (DHCP) configuration mode. You must configure your service PC accordingly.
1. Verify that the target patient monitors are turned on and connected to the IX Network.
2. Log into Webmin locally and select Configuration > Network > Wired Interfaces.
3. Under the Present Configuration table, check if DHCP is enabled or disabled.
4. According to the DHCP status:
• If DHCP is enabled, record the IP addresses of the affected patient monitors in the IX
Network. You will need the IP addresses later.
• If DHCP is disabled, record the IP addresses of all the patient monitors in the IX Network
to avoid using duplicate IP addresses in your service PC.
5.2 Checking and configuring the network settings of the service PC

Configure the service PC to communicate with the patient monitors in the same subnet. Use the
information that you gathered in section 5.1 about the IX Network configuration of the patient
monitors.
NOTE: Refer to the Windows documentation to see how to verify and configure the network
settings in your service PC.
1. Configure the service PC’s network settings to operate in a manual configuration mode.
Configure a unique IP address and a valid subnet mask. Use the same subnet that is in use in
the patient monitors’ IX Network.
1. Configure the service PC’s network settings to communicate with the patient monitors in the
IX Network:
• If DHCP is enabled in the IX Network, configure the service PC to operate as a DHCP

client.
• If DHCP is disabled in the IX Network, configure a unique IP address and a valid subnet
mask. Use the same subnet that is in use in the patient monitors’ IX Network. If the
default gateway is in use in the IX Network, configure also the default gateway address
to the service PC.

5.3 Connecting a service PC to a patient monitor or to the IX Network
NOTE: Refer to Appendix B for details about how to connect a service PC to a patient monitor or
to the IX Network.
This connection method lets you transfer software to one patient monitor at the time.
1. Connect a service PC to the patient monitor’s IX connector, labeled “IX”, with an Ethernet
crossover cable.
2. Verify that the service PC can perform a network ping to the patient monitor.
This connection method lets you transfer software to several patient monitors at a time.
1. Connect the service PC to the IX Network with an Ethernet cable.
2. Verify that the service PC can perform a network ping to the patient monitors.
5.4 Launching the Software Transfer Utility

Launch the GE Healthcare Software Transfer Utility to transfer software packages to target
patient monitors.
NOTE: You may run into some issues with the Software Transfer Utility if your service PC is
running certain firewall, VPN and wireless network services. For example, firewall settings may
prevent the Software Transfer Utility from receiving the Success message from the patient
monitor after transferring a software package successfully to a patient monitor. Consider
disabling these services temporarily if you face any issues while using the Software Transfer
Utility.
1. Connect the USB flash drive or insert the CD that contains the GE Healthcare Software
Transfer Utility and the software packages.

To upload a text file that contains the IP addresses:
1. Select File > Import IP File.
2. In the Open dialog box, browse and select the text file (*.txt) that contains the IP addresses of
the patient monitors.
3. Select Open.
NOTE: IP addresses that are in incorrect format in the text file are not imported. The IP
address must be in the X.X.X.X address format where X is a decimal number from 1 to 254.
Any additional text added after a space following the IP address is treated as a comment.
There must be one IP address per line. See the on-screen help for additional information.
4. Verify that the IP addresses are correctly listed in the Add Target IP Addresses list. Make sure
that they are the IP addresses of the target patient monitors.

NOTE: To remove an incorrect IP address from the list, select the IP address and click the up
arrow button. To remove all IP addresses, select Clear all IP addresses.
5.6 Transferring the software

After the IP addresses of the target patient monitors are entered or imported, transfer the
selected software packages to the inactive software storage of the target patient monitors.
You can transfer the software to one patient monitor at a time.
The software transfer is a background process and you can also transfer the software to
a patient monitor at the bedside while the patient monitor is in clinical use. Make sure not
to disturb patient care and that the nursing staff or clinician permits the transfer activity.
You can transfer software to several patient monitors at a time.
The software transfer is a background process and you can also transfer the software to
