Editing a device connection

In the configurable service for a MedicalDeviceInput node, use the IBM® Integration Toolkit to edit a device connection to change the connection parameters or measurement set for a device. Filter the device connection list to select the device connection to edit.

To edit a device connection:

1. Optional: To filter the list of device connections, in the Medical Device Configurable Service editor, in the Filter field of the Device Connections area, enter the text that you want to search for. Your filter text is searched for in all the fields of the device connections, except the Measurement Set field. The filter text is case-sensitive. The list of device connections is filtered as you type.
2. In the Device Connections table, select the device connection that you want to edit. Click the Edit icon. The Edit Device Connection window opens.
3. In the Device Type field, select the type of the device.
4. In the Device ID field, enter an identifier for the device. Ensure that each device you use has a unique device ID.
5. 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.
      Note: On Windows, enter only the number of the port. For example, if you are using COM1, enter 1 in the port field.
   2. If your device is connected by LAN, select LAN and enter the parameters for host and port.
6. In the Measurement Set field, select a measurement set for the device. To add a new measurement set, click New and see Adding a measurement set. The measurement set specifies the measurements that the device collects.
7. In the Location field, enter the location of the device.
8. In the Patient ID field, enter identification information about the patient that is using the device.
9. In the Notes field, enter any notes required for the device.
10. In the Tags field, enter any tags for the device.
11. Click OK. The Edit Device Connection window closes.
12. To save your changes, click the Save icon in the upper right of the Medical Device Configurable Service editor.
