AU480-680 Basics of LIS
communication
LIS connection
Format of Transmission:
RS-232C (null modem cable)
COM 1 is used for LIS
TCP/IP (Ethernet com) available for AU680 v 3.5
Serial connection
Requisition and Result Transfer:
None: No Online transmission
Batch: Manual transmission
Realtime: Automatic transmission
Serial connection
Modify the transmission format according the LIS (please
refer to the online manual)

ACK / NACK means :
an incorrect communication string will
generate NACK message.
ACK : acknowledge : ok

Example with a Barcoded tube run on Routine Rack (Real
Time reception and transfer)
1- Start:
the AU opens the port com and
checks the presence of LIS...if not, an
Online Alarm 6031 pops up...before
the tube is read...Physical
communication problem (check wether
LIS is responding, check cable
(hyperterminal), check board)
Serial connection
Example with a Barcoded tube run on Routine Rack (Real
Time reception and transfer)
1- Start Ok : no Online alarm: Ack-Ack
2- AU reads the barcode
3- AU Requests LIS
4- LIS answers to AU

5- AU processes the sample according to the
test request received
(if no test: the default 0 profile can be
performed)

are still circulating or waiting in the Buffer area, the AU
makes a request Rh to LIS.

UNIT INFORMATION :
The AU5810 does not send the unit
information (option not available) so a
