Requesting association on MP70

Jonas Pochard 9 years ago in OpenICE • updated 8 years ago • 2

Hi to all the OpenIce team.


I am a french resident trying to implement an OpenIce server in our surgical intensive care in Paris.


I followed the setup provided in the documentation, and mine is as described :


- Philips IntelliVue MP70

- Ethernet cable

- RJ45 to DB9 modular adapter

- RS232 serial cape

- BBB

- TP-Link router

- Personal computer with OpenIce Supervisor


I have checked all the steps and I think the cabling is good (I'm using a male DB9 connector so the pin layout is reversed from your picture).

I'm nonetheless stuck at the "Requesting Association" step.

One thing I have not been able to do is to synchronize the date since I cannot access any NTP server from the hospital due to administrative restrictions.


I have a few questions :

- Does the clock icon signaling that my BBB is not synchronized with a NTP server (I tried to input a manual time through the date command, to no avail) can lock the association phase ?

- This is a RevG MP70, do I need to change the pin layout in the modular RJ45/DB9 cable ?

- I can't seem to find any way or any file to debug the messages that are sent through the /dev/ttyO1 serial device. Can you point me to a way to solve this issue ?


I want to thank you a lot for all the hard work and I'm looking forward to giving a little back if I can.


Regards,

Hi JP, were you able to resolve this?

Hi,


thanks for your answer.


Unfortunately I haven't been able so far.

It is partly due to the fact that I cannot test the setup as often as I would like to.


I checked and tested different pin possibilities on the rj45 to db9 adapter, to no avail.


Since I can't for the moment get my router to connect to an Internet provider because my hospital won't let me connect it to the network for security reasons, the only way for me to test the fact that the association is not successful because of the failing NTP request is to connect directly to the MP70 through a computer with mdpnp device-adapter and supervisor working.

I should be able to do so in the coming weeks I hope.


However, if you have any lead, I'd be really glad to hear them, and especially if there is a way to get some more debug information.


I can't wait to be able to make this work !


Bests,

Jonas
