Software Installation

Prerequisites

Some preconditions will be needed for running the DROC program successfully.

Win7 64-bit OS

All the programs are based on Windows 7 64-bit OS.

Super Dongle

The system permission contains two levels, the hardware level and the software level. The 1st
level permission is controlled by a USB based license dongle; the 2nd level permission is
controlled by the user account management system. The dongle has two types, the regular
dongle and the super dongle as shown in the following figure.

Figure 1: Regular Dongle vs. Super Dongle

Make sure that the super dongle is inserted to the USB slot correctly before any
related operation.

The 64-bit DROC requires the super dongle. Therefore, before software installation, make sure
the super dongle is plugged into the USB.

The super dongle doesn’t need driver; thus make sure there is no any dongle driver is installed. If
have please uninstall it first.

Make sure your super dongle is granted related privileges to use DROC. For super dongle
activation, please refer to the document “Super Dongle User Manual”.

Access DB Driver

The 64-bit DROC will install the 64-bit Access DB driver during its installation. If the 32-bit
Microsoft Office with Access has been installed, please reinstall Microsoft Office without Access,
or install 64-bit Office to avoid the conflict issue of the different versions of Access DB driver.

C2 V1.0 DROC Service Manual

 Software Installation

The PPACS services cooperate with the DROC application for database management, archive image,
print image etc.

NOTE: The failed installation of PPACS will disable the data storage and transferring;
In case earlier versions of PPACS being installed in your computer, please clear the earlier
versions before the upgrade.

However, the DROC Setup program checks the PPACS service automatically when it start. It will
activate the PPACS installation program if the PAPCS is not installed.

Software Installation

Installing PPACS

The Personal PACS (PPACS) is responsible for managing local history images and communicating
with other DICOM network nodes, including RIS, PACS, and Printers.

NOTE: The failed installation of PPACS will disable the data storage and transferring.

Earlier versions PPACS are not compatible; they cannot be installed in the same
system. Thus, if the system has been installed with a previous version, please remove
it prior to this installation.

Installation Procedures

1. Find the PPACS Installer program “XRPPACSSetupV5.0.2.exe”and start it, select a

language for installation.

Software Installation

Due to the data storage, it is recommended to install the PPACS in the disk which has
the largest free disk space.

NOTE: No blank space is permitted in this path.

4. Input the Application Entity (AE) Title and TCP Port of the PPACS service. The default AE
Title is the computer name and the default TCP Port is 104. Normally, they are not needed to
be changed since each computer in the hospital network has a unique name. After changing
the AE Title and TCP Port if needed, click “Next” to continue.

5.
NOTE: Don’t type an existing name in the AE Title field or TCP Port field. Please query
the network administrator for the setting of AE Title and TCP port if needed.
