VIDAS / VIDIA Connectivity Service Manual PDF (Ref 99636 V.C 2007) DOWNLOAD

Description

This Connectivity Service Manual is the official bioMérieux reference for integrating VIDAS®, VIDIA® and TEMPO® analysis systems into a Laboratory Information System (LIS).
It is intended for:

• bioMérieux® representatives and field service engineers

• LIS vendors and middleware developers

• Customer IT departments responsible for LIS connectivity

The manual details network architecture, BCI NET and BCI RS232 communication, printer configuration, and connectivity validation, combining multiple connectivity documents into one structured service reference.

🔧 Key Connectivity Coverage

• VIDAS / VIDIA / TEMPO system network architecture

• Ethernet and serial connection topologies

• LIS communication over BCI NET (FTP) and BCI RS232

• Naming and IP addressing rules for all devices

• Firewall and network security (flow matrix)

• HP1320n and HP1100d network printer installation and configuration

• BCI NET & BCI RS232 driver development and troubleshooting

• BCI Simulators installation and usage

• Site pre-qualification and BCI environment checklist

📑 Global Contents Overview (Master Manual Index)

The Connectivity Service Manual compiles several detailed documents, grouped by sections:

🔌 Section 1 – Network (System Architecture / Printer Installation)

This core section defines how VIDAS, VIDIA, printers, and the LIS are physically and logically connected.

Main chapters include:

1. Architecture / Installation / Network Rules

   • Object and scope of the document

   • Technical prerequisites (Windows XP admin basics, network admin basics)

   • Required materials (switches, router, Ethernet cabling, password generator)

2. Architecture / Physical Connection

   • Network connection: VIDAS / VIDIA / Printer / LIS

   • Configuration #1 – Each device directly on customer network

   • Configuration #2 – All devices via switch

   • Configuration #3 – Devices via dispatcher (not managed by bioMérieux)

   • Serial connection topologies: VIDAS / VIDIA / Printer / LIS

3. Network Rules

   • LIS connection over BCI NET (FTP port 21, data channels)

   • Hostname rules:

     • VIDIAxx (e.g. VIDIA01)

     • VIDASPCyy (e.g. VIDASPC01)

     • BMXPRINTERzz (e.g. BMXPRINTER01)

   • Workgroup: BIOMERIEUX

   • IP addressing for private networks (10.0.0.x schema)

   • Examples of IP for VIDIA, VIDASPC and printers

   • Network card configuration, IP/Subnet setup, ping tests

4. Network Security

   • Flow matrix between BCI NET and LIS (FTP control and data flows)

   • Firewall configuration rules

   • Discussion of passive vs active FTP modes

   • Note that bioMérieux PCs do not include firewall or antivirus by default

5. Printers Installation / Configuration

   • HP1320n printer installation and network configuration

   • HP1100d printer installation and configuration

   • Printer IP configuration (default 192.0.0.192 → final 10.0.0.51)

   • Web JetDirect configuration via Internet Explorer

   • TCP/IP port configuration in Windows

   • Form-to-tray assignment (A4), test print verification

   • Ensuring correct printing from VIDIA / VIDAS PC software

Section 2.1 – BCI NET

• BCI NET Interface Driver Development Guide

• BCI NET Installation Procedure

• BCI NET Troubleshooting Guide

• Commissioning notes linked to network configuration procedure

• How LIS acts as FTP client, file naming conventions, and dispatching modes

Section 2.2 – BCI RS232

• BCI RS232 Interface Driver Development Guide

• RS232 installation procedure for VIDIA®

• RS232 installation procedure for TEMPO®

• Serial communication parameters, COM settings, cabling

Section 2.3 – BCI Simulators
