Abstract
A multi-port communication device having a plurality of serial interfaces and a plurality of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) interfaces is provided. Data is received from one or more medical devices at a serial interface of the plurality of serial interfaces and communicated to a healthcare information system via a TCP interface of the plurality of TCP interfaces. The multi-port communication device can be remotely managed by a remote device via a set of management tools. In embodiments, the set of management tools run locally on the multi-port communication device. The multi-port communication device may additionally comprise locally installed drivers that enable communication with the healthcare information system via TCP.
