SW Installation ICS 2-5

NOTE Using Keep Data on other Hard Drive will extend the software
installation time by up to 3 hours! The duration depends on the
number of images stored in the database.

• Use CONTINUE INSTALLATION to confirm the start of installation (ICS is beeping if

"Clear data" is selected).
• Press any key.
¹ All necessary files are copied from CD OEM-Setup Windows XP to the hard
drive.
Chinese and Japanese language users: please read the note at the bottom before
the CD is ejected!

After approximately 12 minutes, the CD OEM-Setup Windows XP is ejected and has to

be removed.

• Insert the additional CD MUI_CHN_JPN (CD 1A/3). All other users proceed with the next
step.

NOTE CD MUI_CHN_JPN (CD 1A/3) has to be inserted directly after the

OEM CD was ejected.
If you missed to insert this CD in time, the computer asks for CD SOM/
5.5 ICS SW VB27 (CD 2/3).
You have to start the installation at the beginning.
For CD MUI_CHN_JPN (CD 1A/3), no warning is generated as it is for
the other CD’s, if you did not insert it in time.

2.7 Restore Steps

NOTE If you install the IRS software, wait until the IRS installation fin-
ishes and ensure that the IRS is ready before performing the sub-
sequent steps.
Reason: after Restore 1, the ICS tries to transfer the IRS "default
tables" to the IRS. If the IRS is not ready at that time, the transfer
will fail and the IRS "default tables" will have to be transferred
manually.

2.7.1 Restore 1
• In the main menu of the service software, select the Backup & Restore function.
• Insert the Navigator backup CD.
• From Command, select Restore.
• From Drives, select the corresponding drive.

2.9.2 SRS Basic Settings Outside NAT
In an outside NAT environment, the customer network administrator only allows
certain IP addresses in his network. If a network node, e.g. the CT system, wants to
communicate with the "outside world" e.g. the SRS Access Server in Fürth, it can-
not use the real IP address 194.138.39.18. Instead it has to use a NAT address given
by the network administrator. For SRS, the adminstrator provides a NAT address
for the SRS Access Server and the 3 CA Unicenter Server. The NAT addresses have
to be entered in the SRS Basic Settings (Fig.12).

NOTE Outside NAT is used very rarily, except in countries such as Swe-
den, where the complete SRS environment is built up on Outside
NAT functionality.

Fig. 2
• Select Service -> SRS
• Selected 1 Outside NAT.
- SRS Target Host:
select the SRS server where your sys-
tem is connected to (Fürth for Europe/
Africa, Newark for America, etc.)
- for configuring the remaining IP ad-
dresses, contact the hospital network
administrator.
In our example the NAT-address is
10.10.10.18 - 22

• Press <Save> to save the Site Data.

• Click to next page via ">" to perform a

¹ The connection test is successful if

both, the connection to the SRS server
and the connection to the Somatom
Life Extranet are OK.

3.2 Final steps

3.2.1 Software also reinstalled on the ICS

Notice After Restore 1 (refer to chapter 2), the ICS and IRS synchronize
and the IRS "default tables" are transferred automatically from the
ICS to the IRS. With Restore 2 (refer to chapter 2), the "site-spe-
cific tune-up tables" are restored to the IRS. No further steps are
necessary.

3.2.2 No software reinstallation on the ICS

executed. Afterwards, the "site-specific tune-up tables" have to
be restored.

• From the service software home menu, select Utilities.

• Under Source, select Escape to OS and at Command, NT Command Interpreter.
• Under Parameters, type c:\Somaris\utils\IrsTablesInstall.bat
• Activate with Return or GO.
