Scalable communication system

A system for managing a communication system, the system comprising:

• a non-transitory machine-readable memory comprising instructions stored thereon;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform operations, comprising:
• providing, in a centralized communication system, a plurality of adapter interfaces configured to adapt message communications between at least one medical device and at least one external device, a first adapter interface being configured to receive a first message in a first format from a first device, convert a first portion of the first message into second format different than the first format, and send the converted portion in a second message to a second adapter interface for communication with a second device different than the first device;
• storing, in a memory device, routing information associated with active communication connections transmitting internal messages between the adapter interfaces;
• providing for display a first graphic interface for control and modification of a communication topology of the centralized communication system, the first graphic interface comprising representations of the first adapter interface and the second adapter interface;
• receiving, within the first graphic interface, a first user selection a respective representation corresponding to the first adapter interface;
• and
• providing for display, responsive to the first user selection corresponding to the first adapter interface, one or more first controls configured to cause a display of the routing information associated with the first device and to modify communication between the first adapter interface and the first device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computer device to perform a method comprising:

• providing, in a centralized communication system, a plurality of adapter interfaces configured to adapt message communications between at least one medical device and at least one external device, a first adapter interface being configured to receive a first message in a first format from a first device, convert a first portion of the first message into second format different than the first format, and send the converted portion in a second message to a second adapter interface for communication with a device different than the first device;
• storing, in a memory device, routing information associated with active communication connections transmitting internal messages between the adapter interfaces;
• providing for display a first graphic interface for control and modification of a communication topology of the centralized communication system, the first graphic interface comprising representations of the first adapter interface and the second adapter interface;
• receiving, within the first graphic interface, a first user selection a respective representation corresponding to the first adapter interface;
• and
• providing for display, responsive to the first user selection corresponding to the first adapter interface, one or more first controls configured to cause a display of the routing information associated with the first device and to modify communication between the first adapter interface and the first device.
