289H LSS Card Components


LAN Controller Card   (P/N 9800-0030)

LAN Controller CardAs the name implies, the Controller Card performs most of the tasks that direct the operation of the 289H LSS and its interaction with PressureMAP. The Controller Card contains the 289H's measurement circuitry, communications hardware (modem or network connection), and a micro-controller (which switches and stores data, and activates the modem, if applicable). As new capabilities are added to the 289H monitors, new versions of the firmware EPROM chip on the Controller Card have been introduced.

Currently, there are two versions of the card available: the LAN Controller Card (shown on the right), which provides two-way communications between PressureMAP and the 289H LSS monitors over a local area network (LAN), and the Standard Controller Card (P/N 9010-0010) described below.

Standard Controller Card   (P/N 9010-0010)

Modem-version Controller CardThe Standard Controller Card designed and manufactured for the 289H LSS monitors was equipped with an on-board modem for dial-up communications with PressureMAP™. In-process modem activity can be confirmed by viewing the modem indicator lights located near the 289H LSS backplane.
