Hardware, OS, and System Compatibility

The SOLT SR5-MPR wireless PC monitoring receiver acts as a centralized hardware bridge between on-premise wireless transmitters and enterprise workstation management software. Designed specifically for industrial automation, healthcare facilities, and corporate environments, the receiver processes radio frequency signals and transfers them directly to a local workstation for logging, escalation, and analytical reporting.

RF Calling Device and Transmitter Compatibility

The SR5-MPR receiver operates across the 434 MHz band (utilizing 433.92 MHz and 434.65 MHz carrier frequencies) under low-power RF data communication standards. Signal acquisition is handled through Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) and Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK) modulation, ensuring high resistance to electromagnetic interference. The unit is universally compatible with the complete ecosystem of SOLT wireless calling hardware:

• Calling Buttons: Interoperable with single-button, multi-key, and pull-cord calling transmitters across the SOLT SB3, SB5, SB6, SB7, and SB9 series.
• Registration Capacity: The receiver firmware and bundled monitoring software support registry capacity for 500 up to 1,000 unique calling button IDs, identified via individual 6-digit chip codes.
• Call Functions: Wirelessly recognizes distinct transmitter signal frames, differentiating between standard assistance calls, service cancellations, emergency nurse alerts, and supervisor escalation requests.

Signal Repeaters and Infrastructure Expansion

For large-scale campuses, multi-floor industrial facilities, or healthcare complexes, the SR5-MPR is fully compatible with SOLT SR5-BPR wireless signal repeaters and transceivers. These repeaters intercept low-power FSK signals from remote transmitters, regenerate the data packets, and retransmit them to the SR5-MPR. The receiver features an external dipole antenna providing omnidirectional 360-degree RF coverage to maintain signal integrity across complex physical layouts.

PC Host Hardware and Operating System Compatibility

The SR5-MPR connects to the host PC via a serial communication interface utilizing a dedicated USB-to-serial converter cable. System integration requires standard virtual COM port driver installation through Windows Device Manager. Operating system compatibility encompasses:

• Supported Windows Operating Systems: Compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 11 in both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) architectures.
• Database Dependency: Requires the installation of the Firebird 2.1 relational database engine, which manages event transaction logging, queue histories, and response-time statistics.
• Power Requirements: The unit interfaces with external power infrastructure via an included AC/DC adapter rated for AC 110–240V input and DC 12V / 1A output.

Enterprise Software and Third-Party API Interoperability

To support corporate IT integration, the SOLT SR5-MPR platform provides open serial communication protocols and an Open API. This interface enables developers and facility engineers to route incoming call events, dealing times, and cancellation logs directly into third-party enterprise platforms:

• Hospital Information Systems (HIS): Direct ingestion of patient nurse calls and emergency pull-cord triggers into clinical management software.
• Building Management Systems (BMS): Integration into facility monitoring platforms for maintenance logging and supervisor response tracking.
• Data Exporting: Event history and response-time metrics captured in the Firebird database can be exported into standard spreadsheet formats, including Microsoft Excel, for compliance audits and productivity evaluations.
