Connect the console network / imager (physical LAN)
This section of the Aquilion 16 installation manual confirms the console/imager prerequisites, cables the console to the hospital LAN through an external switching HUB, physically routes and clamps the Ethernet cable to HUB port 1 inside the console's CPU BOX, and then confirms and adjusts the imager connection using the SMPTE test pattern.
Applies to
Aquilion 16 (TSX-101A) — Installation manual (source 2C201-160), Section 24 "Network (Imager) Connection" (p.138-140): §24.1 preparations, §24.2 LAN/HUB cabling, §24.3 console-side cable connection procedure, §24.4-24.5 imager connection check and adjustment. Source does not state an imager brand/model constraint for this section; the console-side protocol (Toshiba protocol vs. DICOM protocol) affects only the IP-address/host-name setting step, which is performed in the software service manual (§24.1(1)-(2), see Related), not within this section.
Personnel
Basic — routing and clamping a prepared Ethernet cable to a labeled HUB port inside the console (CPU BOX), removing and refitting two console covers, and running a keyboard-driven STORE/PRINT check with a supplied SMPTE test-pattern file to confirm and adjust the imager's film density. No board-level work, electrical measurement, or software configuration is described within this section itself — the IP address/host name, imager application-software, and LUT/MAG-type settings referenced as prerequisites in §24.1 are performed in the software service manual, not here (see Related). (Skill assessment derived from procedure content — not an OEM-stated skill level.)
