Configure and Restart DeviceLink

  1. Locate the devicelink.xml file. It should be in one of the following locations:

    • C:\Program Files\Plexus IS\DeviceLink

    • C:\Program Files\Plexus TG\DeviceLink

    • C:\Program Files(x86)\Plexus IS\DeviceLink

    • C:\Program Files\DeviceLink

    • C:\Program Files(x86)\DeviceLink

  2. Open the file using Notepad.exe

  3. Locate the <DeviceLink ...> element at the beginning of the file, change the following attributes:

    • DomainID=”46” (For StElizabeths, for NEBH it should be DomainID=”2”)

    • UseHttps=”true”

    • PlexusCloudURL=”https://pcca.plexus.cloud/CloudService/CloudService.svc/PostMessage”

    • UseTCP=”false”

    • UseUDP=”false”

    • Complete Example:

    • <DeviceLink DomainID="46" UseHttps="true" PlexusCloudURL="https://pcca.plexus.cloud/CloudService/CloudService.svc/PostMessage" UseTCP="false" IPAddress="127.0.0.1" Port="8801" UseUDP="false" UDPRemoteIPAddress="127.0.0.1" UDPRemotePort="8382" CommandPort="8100">

       

  4. For each <Device> entry, ensure the name conforms to a pattern of “TransmitterID-DeviceName”. The TransmitterID is the name of the transmitter for the room in WebAdmin (usually a single letter like A, B, C, etc.). Example:

    • <Device Name=”A-Datascope1”>
  5. Save the file. Use Windows Services to restart the DeviceLink service (sometimes called “Plexus DeviceLink”). Make sure it starts successfully. If it does not, check the Event Log for messages about errors in the XML file

Update the Configuration of Anesthesia Touch

  1. Locate the settings.xml file for the installation of Anesthesia Touch. It will be in one of the following locations:
    • C:\Program Files\Anesthesia Touch\
    • C:\Users\<TouchUser>\AppData\Roaming\AnesthesiaTouch\
  2. Ensure that the settings file has a <Setting ...> element for “Transmitter” and it is set to the TransmitterID for the room (same as one used when configuring the devices in the devicelink.xml) Example: 
    • <Setting Name="Transmitter" Value="B" />
  3. Ensure that the <Setting ...> element for “ServerHostName” ends in “plexus.cloud”
    • Example for StEs:
    • <Setting Name="ServerHostName" Value="stelizabeths.plexus.cloud" />
    • Example for NEBH:
    • <Setting Name="ServerHostName" Value="nebh.plexus.cloud" />
