Introduction
System Planning
Jeron IP Network & Facility LAN

The backbone of the Provider system is the Jeron IP Network. The networked
nurse call architecture supports flexible room coverage and call routing
throughout the entire facility. Optional integrations provide added functionality
to staff members, including EIS report generation or real-time display of
system call activity on client PCs on the facility LAN. The system can also
interface with popular third-party devices and equipment, including:
Admission-Discharge-Transfer (ADT) application to map HL7 fields to

Provider 790 for display on consoles or terminals
RTLS badges for automatic registration of staff in and out of rooms
Wireless SIP handsets for direct call routing of patient calls to

assigned caregiver
Pocket pagers for staff member notification of patient calls
Refer to See Optional Software Integrations on page 8-12 for a complete list
of available applications.

System Architecture
System Architecture
Overview
Figure 1.1: Provider 790 System Architecture

The Provider system architecture scheme begins at the equipment closet.
Gateways and Isolated 8 Port Ethernet Switches are typically located near a
line power source, either mounted on standard 19 racks or enclosed in Jeron
wall cabinets. The Gateway distributes power, data, and digital audio to
corridor controllers and their stations. Both products are powered by the Jeron
Power Supply with Battery Backup, similarly mounted. Gateways and
Switches are housed in aluminum enclosures.
Extending from the equipment closet out to facility patient and staff areas,
components are organized along four local buses. These buses ensure
standardized cabling, minimal wiring, and life safety operation with the
continuous supervision of all devices. The corridor bus connects the Gateway
to all Room/Console/Zone Controllers in a continuous run with Cat 6 cable.
Stations in a room connect in series to a Room Controller located above the
entrance to a room in the hallway.
Controllers drive and supervise the stations connected to them and provide
regulated power and data (and audio to audio stations). When a controller is
equipped with corridor lights, the lights provide visual call signals for calls
placed from the stations in the room connected to it.
1-3
System Architecture
System Planning
Audio stations connect via Cat 5/5e/6 cable. Peripheral stations connect in
series to a Room Controller via 22 AWG wire pair.
Zone Controllers with dome lights are located in those portions of a corridor
where room dome lights may not be visible to the nurse station.
A Nurse Console, Staff Duty Terminal, Workflow Terminal, or Nurse Terminal
connects to a Console Controller and serve as main hubs for nurse call
activity management for attendants.
Jeron Nurse Call Buses

The Provider system uses four local buses:
J Bus
CAT 6 Cable (23 AWG)

Corridor runs connects Gateway to: Room, Console and Zone
Controllers
Refer to Hallway J Bus Devices on page 3-1
R Bus
CAT 5 or better Cable

Connects all audio stations with Room Controllers
Refer to Audio R Bus Stations on page 4-3
P Bus
Single 22 AWG unshielded, twisted pair (UTP)

Connects all non-audio (peripheral) stations with Room Controllers
Refer to Peripheral P Bus Stations on page 4-17
M Bus
CAT 6 or better Cable

Connects a Nurse Console or Staff Duty, Workflow, or Nurse
Terminal to a Console Controller
Refer to Call Center M Bus Stations on page 5-1
System Capacity
Refer to the information below to determine the number of Gateways and
Nurse Call Isolated 8 Port Ethernet Switches required.
Each Gateway is assigned a unique IP address and location name prior to
connection. IP addresses must start with x.x.x.1 for the first Gateway and be
continuously sequential for all subsequent Gateways.
More than one Gateway in a system require a Nurse Call Isolated 8 Port
Ethernet Switch.
1-4
System Planning
System Types
Single Gateway J Bus

A combination of up to 31 Controllers (Room, Console, Zone) per Gateway is
allowed.
Maximum distance between Gateway to last controller: 700 ft.
Supports up to eight (8) simultaneous full duplex audio paths.
Maximum Gateways
A maximum of 127 Gateways are supported by the system for a combination
of over 3900 controllers.
Single Nurse Call Isolated 8 Port Ethernet Switch

A maximum of eight (8) Gateways connect to one (1) Isolated Switch for a
total of 248 rooms.
Multiple Nurse Call Isolated 8 Port Ethernet Switch

One system can accept a maximum of 16 Isolated Switches for Gateways,
with an additional three (3) for Switch-to-Switch use. Up to eight (8) Switches
are permitted between any two (2) Gateways.
Room Controllers
Combined total of 15 R Bus and P Bus stations allowed on one (1) Room
Controller.
Console (Master) Controller

One Nurse Console, Staff Duty Terminal, Workflow Terminal or Nurse
Terminal station allowed per controller.
Note: Console Controllers supporting Nurse Consoles, Staff Duty Terminals
or Nurse Terminals should be limited to four (4) per Gateway when possible to
ensure non-blocking audio connections.
Power Supply
One Power Supply per Gateway at a minimum. Add one per each Switch that
is NOT located next to a Gateway. One additional Power Supply is necessary
to support between three (3) and eight (8) supplemental Console Controllers
on a single Gateway; two (2) additional Power Supplies needed for nine (9) to
15 supplemental Console Controllers on a single Gateway.
System Types
Audio Visual
Typically installed in long term care facilities and hospitals, the audio-visual
system provides full duplex two-way voice communication between patient
and staff. The calling station, equipped with a microphone and speaker,
allows the patient to place a call to the Nurse Console and communicate with
the nurse via a pillow speaker. Depending on call type, the call may be
canceled at the console or at the originating station.
1-5
Getting Started
System Planning
Audio Visual with Integrations

Typically installed in hospitals, the audio-visual system with integrations
integrates the Jeron system with Jeron applications and third-party
equipment, such as: client PCs to mirror nurse call activity on the system;
wireless handsets and pocket pagers to be able to send calls directly to the
devices carried by staff; Executive Information System to create nurse call
activity reports; ADT integration to interface the Jeron nurse call system with
the facilitys Admissions, Discharge and Transfer (ADT) HL7-compliant
application to automatically transmit relevant patient information; and IR
Locator to locate staff members easily.
Tone Visual
Typically installed in assisted living facilities, in the tone visual system call
devices generate tones, light dome/zone lights in hallways and annunciate at
the nurse console. No voice communication is established between patient
and staff. Calls are canceled at the station that originated the call.
Getting Started
While standard practices are established for both the physical locations and
electrical connections of the system components, compliance with any local
or state regulations that may apply to that specific application is also required.
System layouts and installation procedures should be completed and
discussed with the customer well in advance of the arrival of the equipment at
the site. Failure to do so may result in system installation delays.
Follow the steps below when conducting system planning:
1-6
Understand 790 cable requirements/limits and equipment feature

capabilities as discussed herein
Obtain specifications, architectural/electrical drawings and/or conduct

walk-thru of jobsite.
Compile a room-by-room material list that groups required equipment

by nursing unit and floor
Make a single sketch showing each corridor J Bus cable run with
Room, Console, and Zone Controller locations and identity. Expand
this drawing with R Bus and P Bus stations for each room, according
to specifications provided in this manual. Refer to Figure 1.2 for an

Overview
Overview
Figure 2.1: Equipment Closet

The equipment closet houses, at a minimum, the Gateway, Power Supply and
Switch (all shown). The Jeron Model 7992/93 Nurse Call Gateway is used as
the local control for data and audio, and the configuration hub for up to 31 of
any combination of Room, Console or Zone Controllers; 1) up to eight (8)
Console Controllers that support a Nurse Console/Staff Duty Terminal/Nurse
Terminal, or 2) up to 14 Controllers with Workflow Terminals plus one
Controller with Nurse Console, may be connected to a single Gateway.
Gateways must be programmed with a unique IP address and location name
prior to wiring on the J Bus. IP addresses must start with x.x.x.1 for the first
Gateway and be continuously sequential for all subsequent Gateways. Refer
to Installation & Programming Manual for instruction.
If a system requires more than one Gateway, an Isolated 8 Port Ethernet
Switch is used to route Ethernet data between Gateways, integrating them
into the entire distributed Nurse Call Network. Refer to the networking chapter
later in System Planning for information about setting up the Jeron IP
Network.
Jeron Model 7995 Power Supply with Battery Backup is used to provide local
power to the Gateway, corridor Controllers, patient stations, Nurse Consoles,
and any Jeron Switches.
If a system requires multiple power supplies for one Gateway on a single JBus run, the diagnostic output ports from up to three power supplies will
connect to Model 9776 Gateway Diagnostic Splitter to create a single output
port for connection to the Gateway. A Model 9777 power splitter is used to
distribute power.
2-1
Gateways
System Planning
This chapter provides detailed information about these components, which

are
typically located in utility rooms, and an explanation of power
requirements.
Gateways
Model 7992/93 Nurse Call Gateway
Each Gateway is an IP device that acts as the central transition point, or
gateway, between the Jeron IP network and the proprietary RS-485 corridor
network with attached patient stations or nurse consoles.
Up to 31 Room/Console/Zone Controllers connect on the J Bus on a
continuous run to a Gateway via 9779 splitters and a Cat-6 cable (23 AWG).
Maximum distance is 700 ft. The Gateway connects corridor controllers and
stations to the Jeron IP Network via industry standard Cat-6/5e cable with
RJ45 connectors.
During the hardware installation process, the Gateway automatically learns
and saves, in non-volatile memory, the model and identity of each station
attached to the corridor network. The 7993 Gateway acquires an IP address
from the 7990 Administration Program Software on the PC (refer to
networking chapter), which then downloads and configure the data stored in
the Gateway to associate it with hospital nursing units.
The Gateway continuously supervises all local devices (Nurse Consoles, Staff
Duty or Nurse Terminals, zone lights, Room Controllers, patient stations,
pullcord stations, etc.) to ensure every component of the system is
operational. If a local device fails, an alert is sent to designated Nurse
Console(s), terminal(s), and optionally, to pocket pager(s) carried by support
staff.
A Gateway would be utilized on a single floor and may cover all or some of
the rooms in a certain unit (floor). One Gateway may be sufficient for multiple
units on a floor if the units do not exceed the 31 room limit. A unit may require
more than one Gateway if the unit exceeds the number of rooms supported by
a Gateway (max 31) or the length of the J Bus exceeds 700 feet.
Gateways should be located in a secure area and are mounted in a standard
19 equipment rack using a Jeron Model 9840 adaptor or a 7988/89 wall
cabinet. If connected to a Nurse Call Isolated 8 Port Ethernet Switch,
maximum distance from Gateway to switch should not exceed 328 ft. (100 m).

Multiple Power Supplies on One Gateway

The Jeron Model 9776 Gateway Diagnostic Splitter is
used to interconnect multiple Model 7995 Power
Supplies with one Gateway on a single J-Bus run. The
splitter combines the diagnostic output ports from up to
three power supplies into a single output port for
connection to the Gateway using the factory supplied
connectorized cable. This arrangement allows the
interconnected power supplies to communicate battery
charge, AC status, and ground fault failure messages to
a single Gateway. Nurse Console will display these failure messages if so
programmed.

Supplemental Power Wire

The Jeron Model 9777 Power Splitter is used to
distribute power when the system requires
supplemental power wiring or when the system
requires an additional Model 7995 Power
Supply.
The 9777 includes two components; the 9777-1 and the 9777-2. The 9777-1
connects directly to the power supply and the 9777-2 connects to the J Bus
run using a Cat 6 cable.
Loop Back AUX Power would typically be used in a U shaped hallway with
100 ft. or less between 9777-1 and 9777-2.
Split Aux Power would typically be used in a long, continuous hallway, and
could require a second power supply, depending on number of rooms and
consoles.

Hallway J Bus Devices
Hallway devices on the Provider 790 include Room, Console, and Zone
Controllers. Up to 31 Room/Console/Zone Light Controllers can connect on
the J Bus on a continuous run to a Gateway via 9779 splitters and a Cat-6
cable (23 AWG).
Room Controllers supervise and provide power, signaling, and audio (to audio
stations) for up to a total of 15 P Bus and R Bus stations located within the
same room or area. Some Room Controller models are equipped with dome
lights that provide visual indication of any calls associated with the room.
Domeless room controllers are typically used in areas where a dome light is
not needed, such as a staff lounge. A Room Controller is typically installed
outside the entrance to a room.
Console Controllers provide power, signaling, and audio to a connected
touchscreen Nurse Console or Workflow/Staff Duty/Nurse Terminal. Console
Controllers are either installed at the nurse station when connected to a Nurse
Console, or outside a patient room or staff area where a terminal is located.
One Console Controller is connected per device.
Some Console Controller models are equipped with a zone light for areas
where dome lights are not visible. When a zone light is not needed, domeless
Console Controller models are installed.
Zone Controllers are typically installed in each corridor intersection, and in
any other area where corridor dome lights are not visible to staff from the
nurses stations. Zone lights provide visual signals to calling stations that are
associated with the zone area via programming. They connect only to the J
bus devices.
Dome/Zone Lights come with default lights and sequences for call priorities
that may be changed via the 7990 Administration Program Software. Refer to
page 4-29 for default settings.
Dome/Zone Controllers equipped with the -T option sound alert tones for code
calls.

Overview of Patient Stations
R BUS
Patient Stations
Note: Patient stations are

provided with default
settings and call priorities.
Any station input (except
Code) can be configured
to place any call priority.
Note: The number of

stations installed of a
certain type is determined
by the facilitys
requirements and local
healthcare codes.
P BUS
Peripheral Stations
The patient/staff audio (R Bus) and peripheral non-audio (P Bus) stations on

the Provider 790 Nurse Call System provide the primary means of alerting
staff of a call from a room station. The audio stations also provide full duplex
communication between patients/staff members and staff at the Nurse
Console.
Patient/staff and peripheral stations in a room connect to a Room Controller.
The system supports up to 3,937 rooms, with a maximum 15 combined audio
(R Bus) and peripheral (P Bus) stations per Controller. All stations within a
room share the same room name (ID) via their connected Room Controller. In
rooms with multiple patient beds, beds are distinguished by bed designators.
Device options include single bed patient stations that support one bed and
dual patient stations that support two beds for two-way voice communication
between patient and staff at the Nurse Console. A number of peripheral
stations may be used by staff in a patient room, such as staff emergency, staff
presence and code. A bathroom attached to a patient room or a facility
bathroom may include audio or peripheral bath stations or peripheral shower
stations. A Workflow Terminal (M Bus) that helps manage patient flow
efficiently may be installed in a patient room and requires a connection to a
Console Controller. Refer to Call Center M Bus Stations on page 5-1 for
console and terminal specifications.
Staff area options include duty, staff/duty and staff stations with audio. A Staff
Duty or Nurse Terminal (M Bus) may be used to annunciate calls and provide
audio communication in areas where staff congregate, such as a utility room,
break room, or lounge. Each terminal connects to a Console Controller.
All patient and peripheral stations are preprogrammed with default call
priorities. However, station inputs can be reprogrammed to place any call
4-1
System Planning
priority. In addition, button labels are customizable. For example, if a room

requires a station for staff presence in addition to staff emergency, a Model
7940 Procedure, Presence and Bed Management Station may be used. The
station is equipped with four preprogrammed buttons that can be
reprogrammed for any call type/staff registration. All four of the button labels
are replaceable. Four patient station models are equipped with two
programmable buttons and labels for any call type. For a list of stations with
customizable buttons, refer to page 4-16.
Station enclosures are flame retardant UL 945VA PC/ABS blend polymeric
material.
4-2
System Planning
Audio R Bus Stations

Most audio R Bus stations have audio capability and enable full-duplex two
way voice communication between patient/staff and staff members at the
Nurse Console.
Each input on a station comes with a default call-in priority setting that can be
changed in programming. Stations are equipped with a cancel button that, in
addition to canceling calls placed from the stations themselves, are
configurable to selectively cancel any level of call-in on other stations within
the same room.
The stations described below are categorized according to their typical
location in the facility. However, flexibility in programming station buttons with
different call priorities allows stations to be used for other purposes based on
the facilitys needs.
Exercise caution when
planning audio station
location and mounting to
ensure quality of full
duplex audio will be
preserved.
Regardless of the facility location selected, caution must be taken when

mounting full duplex audio stations. Avoid blocking speaker or microphone
apertures on the front of audio station enclosures. Blocking or masking either
speaker or microphone may interfere with the full duplex audio operation and
cause unwanted attenuation, echo, or feedback locally as well as remotely on
masters and handsets.
The stations connect in series to a Room Controller on the R Bus port via Cat5 or better cable. The stations share the controllers room name (ID),
assigned in programming.
Patient Room Audio Stations
Note: Model 7905

Enhanced Pillow
Speakers may be used
with both muting and
non-muting patient
stations. When used with
non-muting stations
7920, 7921, 7925, or
7926 ,the dedicated
nurse call buttons (Nurse,
Water, Pain, and Toilet)
and auxiliary controls will
operate. Nurse call audio
will be routed through the
pillow speaker only when
used in conjunction with
muting patient stations
7923 and 7924.
Patient stations enable patients to place calls to the Nurse Console for
assistance. Six patient stations models are available for different room types.
When a call is answered, full-duplex two way voice communication is enabled
either through a pillow speaker (when using muting patient station Models
7923 or 7924) or through the wall speaker and panel mic (non-muting Models
7920, 7922, 7925, 7926).
Each patient room may have a single patient station that supports one bed, a
dual patient station that supports two beds, or a combination of both. Patients
place calls by pressing a button on the pillow speaker or callcord plugged into
the station (DIN jacks). The 1/4 inch jacks (Models 7920-7924) can connect to
callcords or auxiliary input devices for third party medical equipment.
Calls can also be placed from siderail feature beds connected to patient
stations (Models 7920-7924) using the Model 9805 receptacle kit for each
bed. Models 7923 and 7924 allow siderail bed audio communication
capability, while non-muting patient stations 7920, 7922, 7925, and 7926
allow siderail feature bed exit alarm functionality only.
Models 7920-7924 are equipped with two programmable call buttons for staff
use for placing high priority calls. The buttons are preconfigured for
Emergency and Code but can be configured and relabeled during setup.
Patient stations are equipped with TV connections. Television must be UL
hospital grade, digital control. Only 7923 and 7924 mute TV audio during
nurse call audio connection. Individual TV connections per bed are available
on the 7921, 7924, and 7926.

Peripheral P Bus Stations

Peripheral stations (non-audio) add call-in priorities to a room and are used by
staff to place calls to the Nurse Console and alert staff members of a need of
assistance. Peripherals have no audio capability but can be associated with
an audio station in the room in programming. When a call is placed from the
peripheral station and is answered at the Nurse Console, audio can be heard
thru the speaker of the associated audio station.
Inputs are provided with default settings that can be changed in programming
to any call type to meet the facilitys needs. Some stations have buttons that
can be relabeled during setup using labels that slide in between the faceplate
membrane and the switch. Cancel buttons can be configured to cancel calls
from any station in a room.
Peripheral stations connect in series to a Room Controller on the P Bus port
via single 22 AWG UTP cable. They share the room number with their Room
Controller.
Patient Rooms & Staff Areas

Peripheral stations are typically installed in patient rooms & staff areas for the
use of staff members.
The Staff Presence stations allow staff to manually register in and out of
patient rooms and other staff areas, supporting quick locating of staff
members. Staff Presence is typically installed near the patient room door.
The Procedure, Presence, and Bed Management Station may provide staff
presence, rounding, bed management, procedure event initiation, or place
one or more levels of call.
The Dual Auxiliary Alarm Input Station is equipped with two inputs for alarms
from ancillary devices or for bed exit alarms. Dual Input Stations are typically
installed in the same room as their associated patient or staff stations.
The Dual External Alarm Input Station provides external inputs for alarms
from ancillary devices such as fire alarms and door contacts.
The Remote Cancel Station allows staff to remotely cancel outstanding calls
or service requirements set at other stations within the same room or area.

Call Types & Indications

Over 1,000 unique call priorities are available on the system and are divided
into four categories--routine, urgent, emergency, and code--for common call
indication at Nurse Consoles, Terminals, Room Controllers with Dome Lights,
Console Controllers with Zone Lights, Zone Light Controllers, Model 7917
Visual Duty Stations, and Model 7927 Staff/Duty Stations.
Alert tones indicate the call level by both frequency and pulse rate. Call status
indicators show the call level by both color and flash rate on four separate
LED indicators. Individual calls at the Nurse Console indicate their level by the
flash rate. Dome Lights and Zone Lights indicate the specific call type (not just
level) by its color and/or flash sequence. Refer to Table 4.29.
All Dome/Zone Light flash rates and alert tones are configurable in 7990. The
table below lists the default settings.

Installation and Wiring

The Provider 790 systems wiring strategy allows stations of the same type in
a room to connect in series to a Room Controller. Audio stations connect via
Cat 5/5e/6 cable. Peripheral stations connect in series to a Room Controller
via single 22 AWG UTP cable.
Observe the following precautions and specifications when planning system
installation.
Equipment Protection Precaution

The Provider 790 Nurse Call System equipment contains low power
microprocessor circuits which are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Always observe the following precautions:
1. Do not remove bus stations from their static protective bags until they are
ready for installation. You should be grounded using an ESD wrist strap
when handling these units. Use only Jeron furnished mounting hardware.
2. Observe the same precautions whenever a Nurse Console is opened for
inspection or maintenance.
To avoid static charge:
1. Make sure callcords and patient stations are not close to or touching the
metal bed frame or attendant when sheets are changed, as high levels of
ESD are produced from this act.
2. Install the system in a continuous metallic conduit and backbox. Such
systems are more resistant to failure due to static discharge or electrical
disturbance in general.
3. Attach the green ground wire clip on patient stations to the grounded
backbox.
Installation Precautions for Patient and Staff Safety

Patient and staff safety depends on the following installation precautions:
Note: Only the Model

7958 Pullcord/
Pushbutton Shower
Station is waterresistant with wall
gasket kit.
All installer-provided lighting or entertainment control relays (operated

via pillow speakers) must have proper surge protection added to the
coils to damp the voltage transients (back EMF) created by the relay
coils.
The system wiring must be isolated from earth grounds and from
other AC powered devices in order to protect patients and staff from
ground faults and leakage currents. Some therapies may greatly
increase patient risk from ground faults. Keep all system conductors
and grounds separate from earth grounds and carefully test to ensure
that ancillary equipment does not contribute leakage current to the
system.
Pillow Speakers are not approved for use in oxygen enriched environments
as defined by UL 1069. Where oxygen use or electrical susceptibility (see
above) mandates non-electrical patient control devices, use the callcords.
6-1
System Planning
Planning System Wiring

1. Obtain floor plans or blueprints to verify the locations of each station type.
If they are not documented on the floor plans, conduct a site survey to
determine the final locations.
2. Prepare a complete equipment list from architectural plans and
specifications. Additional surveys may be required to develop sufficient
information to plan an effective installation, i.e. wire runs, location of the
Gateways, room numbering systems, coverage areas, zone and duty
station memberships, etc.
All stations are mounted in backboxes. The table on page 8-1 lists the
recommended backbox types and covers for each station. Use only UL Listed
backboxes.
Wiring Precautions
Wire all systems in accordance with local building codes, using the
wiring diagrams in the Provider 790 Installation Manual.
Use the exact wire type specified; use of any other kind may degrade
or disable system performance.
Do not run system wiring in common conduit or in close proximity (12

inches minimum) with wiring for other systems (AC power distribution,
fire alarm, entertainment or P.A. systems, etc.). Alternatively, use a
solid divider in the cable tray to isolate the system wires.
Verify that all wiring is free of shorts and earth grounds.
All field wiring, power, data and audio is isolated from earth ground,
chassis ground, and building ground.

Patient Room
Typically, each patient room would have an associated Room Controller with
dome light. Each Room Controller is assigned a room name (ID) that is
shared by the stations in the room wired to the Controller. The inputs on
patient stations differ only in their bed designators. Peripheral stations can be
associated with a patient station in programming. Refer to Figure 6.3 for
wiring.

The Nurse Console connects to a Console Controller. There is a limit of one
Nurse Console per Console Controller. Console Controllers with Zone Lights
are used if the dome lights in the hallway are not visible to the nurse at the
station. Refer to Figure 6.5.
Additional Hallway Devices

Zone Lights provide visual indications of calls for a room, group of rooms,
corridor, unit, or up to an entire facility. They are installed in hallway
intersections where dome lights may not be visible. They do not have any
room station connections. Refer to Figure 6.5.
Controllers connect in hallways on a continuous J Bus run via splitters (using
Cat-6 cables) to not disrupt system operation if a Controller is disconnected.

Network Overview
Network Overview
After installation of facility patient and staff devices, the Jeron headend
devices are connected, then networked to the facility LAN via a Bridge PC to
enable the programming of the 790 system and addition of optional system
integrations.
Provider 790 headend devices consist of the Gateways (Model 7993/2), Isolated 8 Port Ethernet Switches (Model 7991 or Model 7991-FX with Fiber
Uplink option), and necessary Power Supplies (Model 7995). The components are designed for rack mounting on a standard 19" rack or wall mounting
on a Jeron wall cabinet.
Each Model 7993/2 Gateway connects to the Jeron Power Supply with Battery Backup (Model 7995). A supplemental power wire or an additional Model
7995 Power Supply may be required.
Each Isolated 8 Port Ethernet Switch can accept connections of up to eight
Gateways. For more than eight Gateways in a system, multiple switches will
be used. Multiple switches in a system interconnect via their Uplink Port (port
9). The main Isolated Switch also connects to the facility LAN via a Bridge PC
running a model 7984 Bridge application.
Isolated 8 Port Ethernet Switch (with Fiber Uplink Option)

Model 7991
Model 7991-FX
The Isolated 8 Port Ethernet Switch and Switch with Fiber Uplink are used to
interconnect local Nurse Call Gateways and integrate them into the entire
distributed Nurse Call Network. Utilizing industry standard network wiring,
cabling, and connectors, multiple interconnected Ethernet Switches can
support a nurse call network of up to 127 Nurse Call Gateways operating as a
single distributed system. Should the nurse call network connection be broken
at any point, the downstream Ethernet Switches and Nurse Call Gateways will
continue to operate as a sub-system.
Up to eight Gateways can connect to one Isolated 8 Port Ethernet Switch.
Distance between Gateway and 7991 switch should not exceed 328 ft.(100
m). Up to 16 Switches for Gateway connections, plus an additional three
Switches for Switch-to-Switch connections, are permitted on a single 790
system. There may be no more than eight (8) Switches between any two
Gateways.
To support remote and distributed Nurse Call Gateways as part of a single
Nurse Call Network, the model 7991-FX Switch includes a fiber uplink port
with a duplex SC connector to support distances of up to 2 km to another
7991-FX switch over dedicated 62.5/125 m multi-mode fiber. The standard
7991 and fiber enabled 7991-FX switches can be intermixed as part of the
same system.
For programming and integration purposes, a top-level switch, wired to the
Bridge PC interconnects the Jeron IP Network and the Hospital LAN.

Bridge PC and the Jeron IP Network

The connection of the Jeron network to the facility LAN via a Bridge PC
enables the programming of the 790 system and optional system integrations.
The Model 7984 Bridge PC Application is the central point which communicates with all installed Jeron series 79xx applications. The PC on which this
application is running must be equipped at all times with a Jeron factory furnished hardware protection key in order for any 790 software application to
function with the 790 system hardware.
Model 7984 Bridge PC also provides capability for off-site upgrades and

Required Software Applications

Model 7984 Bridge Software Application
The Jeron Model 7984 Bridge Software Application is used with the Provider
790 Nurse Call System to connect the nurse call to the facility's LAN and in
turn other optional Provider 790 software applications residing on the LAN.
The 7984 Bridge is linked to the Provider 790 Nurse Call System through the
isolated port on the UL1069 Listed Model 7991 Ethernet Switch.
The PC running the 7984 Bridge Software must be equipped with two NICs
(Network Interface Cards). The Bridge software acts as a data firewall
isolating each operating Gateway (the Jeron IP Network) connected to
Network Interface Card #1 on the Bridge PC and any other device such as
client PCs on the Hospital LAN connected to Network Interface #2. It blocks
all other LAN activity from the nurse call system.
Using TCP/IP, the 7984 software provides a secure data connection to the
Provider 790 software applications on the LAN. The 7984 software also reads
the LAN NTP (Network Time Protocol) and relays this time to the Provider 790
Nurse Call System so that both the nurse call and facility LAN share the same
time base. Through 7984, technicians on any PC on the facility's LAN running
the Provider 790 7990 Administration Software have remote access to the
entire nurse call system for programming, firmware updates, and
troubleshooting.
Model 7990 Administration Software

The Jeron Model 7990 Administration and Programming Software is used to
program and administer the Provider 790 Nurse Call System through the
7984 Bridge Software and associated Bridge PC. The 7990 software allows a
technician to program and manage all system attributes including room
numbers, call priorities, call tones, dome light indications, swing rooms, and
coverage of duty stations, zone lights, Workflow/Staff Duty/Nurse Terminals,
and Nurse Consoles. With 7990, the Provider 790 system may be configured,
downloaded (for archiving), restored, and edited without affecting the local
operation of the nurse call system.
The 7990 software also supports firmware updates for all nurse call hardware
devices including Gateways, Controllers, Nurse Consoles, and Terminals.
Gateways must be programmed with a unique IP address and location name
prior to wiring on the J Bus. Refer to Installation & Programming Manual for
instruction.
Programming System Configuration

Below is an overview of the programming process with 7990 Administration
Software. Refer to the Provider 790 Installation & Programming Manual for
details:
Stations, terminals and consoles are wired to a Controller and share

the Controllers room name (ID). The Controller comes with a default
ID that can be changed in programming to reflect the location of the
devices/room. After Controllers have been identified and assigned a
location-specific name, a visual diagram of the facility is created. The
8-9
System Planning
diagram consists of buildings, floors, units and coverage areas. There

should be a minimum one coverage area per unit.
Note: All rooms report to all
Nurse Consoles by default.
The assignment to coverage
areas is done in
programming.
8-10
Floors and Units: A Gateway would be utilized on a single floor, and

may cover all or some of the rooms on a certain floor. A unit may
require more than one Gateway if the unit exceeds the number of
supported rooms (max 31). In that case, multiple Gateways will be
used on the floor. One Gateway may be sufficient for multiple units on
a floor if the units are small and do not exceed the 31 room limit or the
700 foot J Bus limit.
Coverage Areas: Coverage area(s) include rooms within a unit that

are covered by a specific Nurse Console. A unit may contain one
coverage area (i.e., all rooms assigned to a Nurse Console) or
multiple coverage areas (where rooms are assigned to multiple Nurse
Consoles). Typically, rooms in a unit are physically located in the
same part of the facility, (i.e., the same floor or wing). Each room is
assigned to a coverage area by adding stations and Consoles/
Terminals to the facility diagram in 7990. This determines the rooms/
areas that report to and annunciate calls to a particular Nurse
Console. Refer to Figure 8.7.
Duty Areas: Room stations, Model 7917 Visual Duty, and Model
7927 Staff/Duty are assigned to duty areas. Model 7967-S Staff Duty
Terminals are programmed to show active calls within its assigned
coverage area, with calls grouped by Routine, Urgent, Emergency,
and Code. Duty stations respond simultaneously and identically to
calls from room stations programmed to report to the duty area.
Zone Areas: Room stations and Zone Lights are assigned to zone
areas. Zone Lights respond simultaneously and identically to calls
from room stations programmed to report to the zone area.

The following is a brief overview of the available Provider 790 integrations for
added functionality and support of popular third-party equipment and
applications:
Model 7970 Automatic Voice Prompt Software

Provides verbal annunciation of select Provider 790 Nurse Call System call
events over a facility's overhead paging system. Pages are triggered by nurse
calls placed or cancelled from patient rooms or staff stations. Voice prompts
consist of phrases that include instructional content as well as call type and
room location information. Voice prompts can be customized on-site to meet
facility requirements for privacy and content. For example: A code call in room
206 annunciates "Stat condition in second floor physical therapy." Upon
cancellation: "Medical condition in physical therapy has been cancelled."
7970 requires Model 9815-1 single channel USB Zone Control, or 9815-2
eight channel USB Zone Control with optional 9815-3 USB Mute Contact.
This integration requires Microsoft SQL Server. Refer to Minimum PC
Requirements on page 8-6 for more information.
Model 7977 ADT Patient Information Integration Software

The Jeron Model 7977 ADT Patient Information Integration Software is used
with the Provider 790 Nurse Call System to integrate with the facility's ADT
system for automated update of patient information displayed at nurse
consoles/terminals, PC consoles, and staff duty terminals.
When patient information and assigned bed information are updated on the
ADT system, the 7977 listens for updates over the HL7 protocol standard and
automatically sends this information to the Provider 790 Nurse Call System to
display the information when a patient places a call. The patient information is
displayed at Jeron model 7965 Nurse Console, 7967 Staff Duty/Nurse
Terminal and 7985 PC Console Application.
When the integration software is configured, the installer can determine which
ADT information fields are mapped to the nurse call system including: patient
name, doctor, and up to several fields of patient information. Alternately,
during configuration, key ADT information fields may be blocked from being
displayed on the nurse call system. To ensure compliance with HIPAA patient
confidentiality requirements, the patient information is stored securely within
the nurse call system and is only displayed at Nurse Consoles, PC Consoles,
and Staff Duty or Nurse Terminals within staff areas.
Model 7978SIP SIP Phone Integration Software

The Jeron Model 7978SIP SIP Phone Integration Software is used with the
Provider 790 Nurse Call System to route patient calls on the nurse call LAN.
Through the intermediary Brekeke SIP Server, the SIP phone call is routed to
the facilitys SIP Telephony Call Server and in turn over the facilitys Voice
over Wireless LAN to the SIP end device carried by the assigned caregiver.
8-13
System Planning
The 7978SIP routes calls based on the patient-to-staff and staff-to-device

assignments programmed into the Jeron Model 7980 Assignment Software.
From their SIP wireless phones, caregivers can also call into any staff
intercom or patient intercom station on the Provider 790 nurse call system.
Each J Bus with patient intercom stations has eight simultaneous full duplex
audio circuits which provides non-blocking service for multiple SIP phones
calling to the same J Bus.
Model 7980 Staff Assignment & Messaging Software

The Jeron Model 7980 Staff Assignment and Messaging Software is used to
manage mobile locating and notification devices for the Provider 790 Nurse
Call System. Through this software, system administrators, technicians, and
charge nurses manage all wireless devices, staff member attributes, staff to
device assignments, staff to patient assignments, and staff to team
assignments. The software itself sends messages over TAP protocol directly
to paging encoders or wireless phone middleware. In addition to the 7980
software, integration for wireless phone communication and real time locating
tags requires integration software and/or hardware from Jeron.
For the end-user, access to the software is .NET browser-based allowing
users to sign on from any PC on the LAN. Based on their account security,
users can do the following:
Configure system wide settings including name format, call response

timers, pager cancellation messages
Add/edit mobile locating and notification devices including wireless

phones, pocket pagers, and real time locating tags
Manage signon access levels and access to functions and nursing

units
Create and assign staff to facility-wide crash teams, such as code

crash teams, and local emergency all call teams
Manage the association of staff and devices to one, several, or all

units within the facility
For each of up to three shifts per unit per day, assign from one to
three team members to each patient room/bed for notification plus a
unit level backup
Configure notification to technician(s) phone/pager for instant alerting

of any component failures

Model 7981 RTLS Integration Software

The Jeron Model 7981 RTLS (Real Time Locating System) Integration
Software is used with the Provider 790 Nurse Call System to integrate with
the facility's RTLS server for automated staff locating. The 7981 provides a
single point of connection between the RTLS server and the Provider 790
system and supports the most popular locating systems on the market.
The RTLS automated staff location integration provides the following
functionality on the nurse call system:
8-14
System Planning
Automatic registration of staff in and out of patient rooms
Dome light indication of staff present in each room (green, orange, or

yellow)
Automatic cancellation of outstanding service requirements by staff

with locating tags walking into the patient room
Locate staff by level and name from any Nurse Console/Terminal or

Staff Duty Terminal with one-touch to communicate with staff via the
closest intercom station
The 7981 is used in conjunction with the Jeron Model 7980 Staff Assignment
Software which associates the locating tag with a specific staff member and
their registration level (green, orange, or yellow). If the staff tag is equipped
with a call button, when the button is pressed while in a patient room it will
place a predetermined call priority level from that room.
Model 7983 EIS Log Report

The Jeron Model 7983 Executive Information System (EIS) Software Package
is used with the Provider 790 Nurse Call System for archiving and analysis
reports of patient call and staff response activity. All nurse call activity data,
including patient and staff calls, staff registration, voice response time, staff
response time, and system supervision messages are logged in a SQL
database.
From any PC on the facility's LAN, through the browser interface, staff can
sign in and generate standard and customized reports for a single unit, a
combination of units, or the entire facility. The staff member's signon
privileges determine which unit(s) and types of reports they can generate.
Reports are produced in a standard PDF format allowing for easy printing.
Email feature allows for the scheduling and automatic delivery of future
reports.
Model 7985 PC Console Software

Model 7986 Map Configuration Software
Note: When operating

in Associated Mode,
each Model 7965 Nurse
Console can only be
associated with a single
Model 7985 PC
Console client PC.
Accessible via any PC on the facility's LAN, the Jeron Model 7985 PC
Console Software is used with the Provider 790 Nurse Call System for a realtime view of nurse call activity and to initiate/review staff roundings. The client
software component of the 7985 application resides on non-dedicated
Windows computers and communicates via TCP/IP to the server component
to ensure only authorized staff have access to nurse call activity. Multiple
users can simultaneously run local 7985 software on their own PCs; each with
their own view of nurse call activity. The architecture of the 7985 software and
the Provider 790 Nurse Call System precludes any activity on the LAN from
adversely affecting the life safety operation of the Provider 790 Nurse Call
System.
The software supports three views: List, Whiteboard, and Map.
List view displays active events including patient and staff calls, overtime
service requests, expired roundings and self-reminders, and active work flow
events. The nurse call activity displayed in list view can be independent or
8-15
System Planning
associated with the operation of a specific Model 7965 Nurse Console. In the
independent display mode, the software can be customized by coverage area
(one unit, several units, or the entire facility), by call priorities to display (one,
several, or all), to display service requirements or not, to display work flow
events (one, several, or all), to display staff locations or not, and to display
staff roundings or not. When associated with a nurse console, the software
will show all call activity based on the console's coverage.
Whiteboard view lists all rooms/beds and associated information (patient
information and assigned staff), active call events, staff presence, roundings,
self-reminders, Stryker iBed Awareness status, and/or workflow events for
the selected nursing unit. The display of patient information also requires the
addition of the Jeron 7977 ADT Patient Information Integration Software.
Note: 7985 map view
requires optional model
7986 Map Configuration
Software.
Map view displays events and activity associated with each room (including
active calls) on a graphical floor layout for the selected nursing unit. For each
unit, the map view supports the display of up to 192 rooms on up to four views
total. The map view automatically switches to the map with the highest priority
active call. Map view requires optional 7986 Map Configuration Software.
The 7985 also allows nurse managers from any networked PC to set and
review existing roundings or one time reminders on a per patient bed basis.
From any networked PC, when used in conjunction with the required Jeron
7980 Staff Assignment & Messaging Software, the 7985 also allows
administrators and staff to send text message to the wireless phone or pager
carried by specific staff members or to send group messages to caregiver's
phones and/or pagers.
Model 6894 Integration Data Service

Achieves platform inter-operability between Provider 680 and Provider 790
systems for improved communication and analysis of nurse call activity in a
single facility. An integrated communication system gives staff and caregivers
greater flexibility to observe, respond to, and analyze all system activity from
any PC on the facility LAN.
The Integration Data Service transmits configuration and call information from
Provider 680 systems directly to the 7984 Bridge PC application. Information
is disseminated directly from the Bridge application to the following system
integrations:
Model 7970 Automatic Voice Prompt Software for verbal

annunciation of nurse call events on facilitys overhead paging
system
Model 7980 Staff Assignment & Messaging Software for appropriate

call routing to caregiver device
Model 7983 Executive Information System (EIS) Software for

archiving and analysis reports of call activity
Model 7985 PC Console for a real-time view of nurse call activity
The 6894 service tool centralizes nurse call operation by combining attributes
of both Provider platforms. System configurations are integrated by
associating 680 controllers and coverage areas to new units in the 790
system (if present), and associating 680 call types with 790 equivalents. The
tool then produces a single architectural diagram configuration file used to
transmit global configuration via Model 7990 Administration Software. All
8-16
System Planning
connections and data transmissions are performed without affecting the local
operation of the nurse call systems.
