General information
The data communication between the CEREC 3 acquisition unit and the
CEREC MC XL milling unit should preferably be implemented via WLAN. As
for all wireless connections (e.g. mobile telephones) heavy utilization of the
available radio channels or shielding caused by building installations (e.g.
metal-shielded X-ray enclosures) may impair the quality of the connection.
This may become noticeable through a reduction in range and/or a slower
data transmission rate. In extreme cases, it will be impossible to establish a
wireless connection.
Sirona has selected the best possible configuration for data communication
via WLAN, which generally provides perfect functioning of this connection.
However, in individual cases unrestricted wireless data communication may
be impossible for the reasons mentioned above and/or due to local
circumstances. In such cases, a cable LAN connection should be selected to
ensure uninterrupted operation.
In the following text, the acquisition unit and the InLab system PC are both
referred to as "PC".
The milling unit communicates with the PC via WLAN in the Ad-hoc mode. In
this mode, the data are exchanged directly between the WLAN interfaces of
the PC and the milling unit.
