RALS and EPOC NXS host

Hi all,
Our system upgrade our old EPOC host to the new epoc NXS.  All 35 of our EPOC are stating the same issue.  Since then, we have this E84 error and cannot do patient testing.  We called siemens tech support and RALS tech support to no solution.  We upgrade our firmware and evad to the most recent one, performed QC and still locked out.  We checked out configuration in RALS and everything.  The old host still works, but somehow the new host is not.  Did anyone who used RALS and EPOC NXS had this problem?

Did you make sure to download the NXS specific evad?  It is different than the evad for the old host. 

Yes, we did. 

We had tried everything. I think we pretty much exhausted all our options. 

Just a couple of thoughts based on things that have tripped us up in the past:

1. Have you tried disabling the QC schedule in RALS as a troubleshooting step?

2. Another thing to double check is that the new hosts are marked as "Licensed" in the device menu.

Good luck!

When you set up the connectivity-- did you make sure to enter the RALS address, the port number and toggle the the 'Data Management Available' button to on, under the Data Management section of Settings when logged in as admin on the hosts? This has to be done on every single one. Also, make sure you assign the card lots to the EPOCs in RALS.

Also, you may have something in your device configuration that disabled this.. here's what the manual has to say about the E84 error:
