MIRION PROPRIETARY INFORMATION Dosimetry Services Division instadose 2 Dosimetry Communication Specifications instaLink USB:
The instaLink USB allows workstations connected to the internet to transmit dose data to Mirions secure servers. For the instaLink USB to work it must be connected to the workstation at all times and the instaLink USB software must be installed on the workstation. The software has a small footprint of less than 1Mb. KEY FEATURES Bluetooth wireless compliant technology version 4.0, single mode Supports master and slave modes 4+ simultaneous connection is master mode Integrated Bluetooth low energy stack GAP, GATT, L2CAP, SMP Bluetooth low energy profiles Radio performance:

Bluetooth wireless technology 4.0 CE and FCC Internet Connectivity REQUIREMENTS / FUNCTIONALITY OF SOFTWARE:
Runs on Window XP, Vista, and 7 During installation, the application will be added to the Access to *.instadose.com / port 443 StartUp menu the application will launch when the workstation boots up The application window does not need to be open for a device to be read If the workstation is hibernating (sleeping) communication with instadose 2 dosimeters will not occur INSTALLATION STEPS The instaLink USB software will work on Windows XP, Vista, and 7, Windows 8 is currently unavailable. NOTE: DO NOT plug in the instaLink USB until after the software has been installed. To install the instaLink USB software onto workstations you must have administration privileges and follow the steps below. Go to www.instadose.com and login with the given username and password
[Click] Download software under the Manage section of the home screen
[Click] download instaLink USB software and follow the instructions. instaLink Hotspot Station:
The instaLink hotspot station securely transmits dose data to Mirions server. The station comes with a power cord and mounting brackets. The instaLink hotspot station can be connected to your network by either Ethernet or WiFi. The instaLink comes with configurable Wifi/Ethernet options: WPA, SID, Proxies, etc. KEY FEATURES:
Software comes preloaded and is designed to be functional upon arrival at the customer site instaLink can be plugged directly into a network Once connected it will attempt to connect to instadose web service Bluetooth wireless technology version 4.0, single mode compliant Supports master and slave modes 4+ simultaneous connection is master mode Integrated Bluetooth low energy stack GAP, GATT, L2CAP, SMP Bluetooth low energy profiles Radio performance:

Bluetooth low energy radio Built-in antenna Certifications:
Bluetooth wireless technology version 4.0 CE and FCC DISCOVERY / CONFIGURATION APPLICATION:
Install the instaLink discovery configuration software to scan and detect instaLink hotspots connected to the network. IT departments can configure network settings and unique identifiers for each hotspot. INSTALLATION STEPS Plug a instaLink hotspot into your hardwired network. Install and run the discovery application software. They software will identify each instLkink hotspot connected to the network. The following options are configurable:
WiFi sid and access credentials (username /
Password) Proxy / Network security settings Unique instaLink Identifier (Name) to assist in data collection statistics Bluetooth Smart Dosimeter:
The instadose 2 dosimeter utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Technology to transmit dose data to a variety of devices. A facility can select from:
iPhones or iPads with the instadose app installed PCs with BLE or with the instaLink-USB connected instaLink Hotspot Station DATA TRANSFERS:
Bluetooth low energy technology supports very short data packets (8 octet minimum up to 27 octets maximum) that are transferred at 1 Mbps. All connections use advanced sniff-sub rating to achieve ultra low duty cycles. Bluetooth low energy technology uses the adaptive frequency hopping common to all versions of Bluetooth technology to minimize interference from other technologies in the 2.4 GHz ISM Band. Efficient multi-path benefits increase the link budgets and range. STRONG SECURITY:
Full AES-128 encryption using CCM to provide strong encryption and authentication of data packets. TOPOLOGY:
Bluetooth low energy technology uses a 32 bit access address on every packet for each slave. The technology is optimized for one-to-one connections while allowing one-
to-many connections using a star topology. A new Bluetooth Smart feature is the advertising functionality. The instadose 2 dosimeter (acting as a slave) can in this way announce that it has dose readings to transmit to the master (iPhone, iPad, instaLink USB or instaLink). Figure 4 shows how the instadose 2 dosimeter communicates reads. The instadose 2 dosimeter periodically sends messages and will always be a slave once the connection is established. An ipad, iPhone, or instaLink product is ready to receive an advertisement message and a connection request. The ipad, iPhone, or instaLink product will always be a master once the connection is established.
