inspecting the Network and Sharing Center when the SimMan 3G is connected and running.
2. Ensure both the SimMan3G and the VitalsBridge are completely OFF.
3. Turn on the SimMan3G; allow to initialize completely (breathing and blinking).
4. Power on the instructor PC, and ensure that it is connected to the SimMan 3G’s router via Wifi
(consult the SimMan3G directions for use on information specific to this task).
5. Connect the VitalsBridge to the SimMan3G manikin via Ethernet cable.
6. Power on the VitalsBridge.
7. Wait 6-30 seconds. Verify network connection indicator is lit up on top of the box.
8. Open the VitalsBridge Network Configuration Tool. Double click on the Network Configuration
Tool shortcut icon on the PC’s desktop, and a selection window will appear.
9. Wait until the white box is appears with the VitalsBridge that is connected to the SimMan 3G
manikin. Note: this usually takes a few seconds but may take as long as 30 seconds.
