Chapter 3—Installing the Workstation and Manager

1.0 Installing a Stand-Alone, Client, and Manager

1.1 Pre-installation Considerations
This section applies to installation of new:
• Stand-Alone workstations.
• Client Workstations that are installed as part of a multi-workstation system.
Prior to beginning the installation, discuss the following with the installation site:
• An IP address and AE title for the Manager should be obtained from the PACS
administrator, and the site must be informed that an additional Ethernet port is required.
• SecurViewRT can process “For Processing” images only if they are older than five days and
considered to be prior images. For this reason, any site where SecurViewRT is to be installed
must have been generating “For Presentation” images for all new studies for at least five days.
• The SecurViewRT software now supports “auto-fetching.” This allows for automatic
querying of the PACS, upon arrival of new notices, to retrieve corresponding images.
Check with the site to determine if they want to enable this feature.
1.2 Installing the Hardware
Client Workstations are first set up as Stand-Alone Workstations using procedures in this
chapter, then are modified using the procedure in Chapter 4, Section 3.0, p. 4-9.
1.2.1 Setup of Hardware
Referring to Figure 3-1, connect the:
• Mouse to the mouse port.
• Computer keyboard to the PS2 or USB port on the rear of the computer.
• Network cable between the computer and the hospital network.
• Bar Code Scanner (not shown) to a USB port.

If the manager reaches its warning watermark level, images and patient data
start auto-deleting. Those image deletions are propagated to all clients, so
the clients remove their locally stored prepared image data for those images.
• Client
If a client reaches its warning watermark level, its locally stored prepared
image data, CAD-SR, starts auto-deleting. Since this data is not removed
from the database, it is still available on the manager, and the data still
appears e.g., in the patient browser, and can be reviewed.
If this happens, the client re-retrieves the previously deleted data from the
manager. If this is the case, a message “Images are being transferred” is
displayed on the screen in the reviewing module, until all images for the
currently viewed case are locally available. Automatic deletion on one
client has no effect on other clients or on the manager.
Every client and the manager have their own individual definition of the
local watermark levels.
2.3.3 Image Processing Configuration—Image Export
Images and DICOM files are always exported locally to a CD on a client
workstation. Export of images to remote clients or to the manager is not possible.
The exported images can be saved to a CD locally on every client.

2.4 Calibrating the Barco Nio Display

NioWatch is the software used to calibrate the Technologist Workstation display. NioWatch
is launched using a Windows Systray (System Tray) icon or from the Windows Start menu.
1. Log in to the system as an administrator.
2. Select Exit to Windows.
3. Open NioWatch by double-clicking on the NioWatch icon in the Windows Systray.
The Display Settings window appears. The numbered icons in the upper part of the
display represent the number of display controller heads in the PC. There are three tabs:
• Display tab: You can view the name, serial number of the display, and details about:
• Lifetime: operation time including time in stand-by
• Runtime: operation time excluding time in stand-by
• Firmware version: version of internal display software
• Backlight Stabilization: status of the backlight stabilization in the display

Figure 4-5: Display Settings—Display Tab

From the Display Function drop-down menu, you can select other display functions.
If the display has been calibrated to the selected display function in the past, the
display is set according to this calibration. If a former calibration is not found,
factory default settings are automatically selected.
When you restart NioWatch, the system automatically selects the last selected
display function.
You can manually adjust luminance by adjusting the Luminance slider. Your setting is
saved when you shut down the system. If you position the slider to the right of “CAL,”
luminance is in the calibrated position as determined during the latest calibration. A
slider position to the left of the CAL mark is not in the calibrated position.

Note… To be DICOM compliant, you must select the DICOM Display function and
calibrate the display. After calibration, to maintain DICOM compliance, the
luminance must remain in the calibrated position.

3.0 Converting Stand-Alone Workstations to Clients

This section applies both to a new installation of a multi-workstation system as well as to
existing stand-alone workstations which are being converted to Client Workstations with the
addition of a SecurViewRT Manager. For a new installation, first follow instructions for stand-
alone or Client Workstation Installation to set the new workstations up in stand-alone mode,
then continue with this section.

3.1 Pre-Installation Checklist—Existing Stand-alone

If this installation involves existing stand-alone Workstations which are being re-configured
as part of a Multi-Workstation system:
1. Make sure that all workstations are currently at SecurViewRT V2-0-1 or higher.
2. In order to minimize the installation time, as many cases as possible should be deleted
from each workstation using the Case Administrator account. No more than 50 cases
should remain in the patient list before the conversion is begun. The following steps
should be performed:
a. Have the users view as many cases as possible prior to the upgrade.
b. Delete all viewed cases from the system using the Case Administrator (delete)
account (not from the Service account).
c. Delete all older cases, regardless of the status. Hologic recommends that only the
last 1-2 days of unviewed cases be saved.

3.2 Converting
1. On a workstation that is to be configured as a Client, log in to the SecurViewRT
application as the service user and select Exit to Windows.
2. From the Start menu, select Log Off scr.
3. At the Windows login prompt, log into Windows as Administrator.
4. Ensure that the Windows System time matches the Manager’s Windows system time by
opening a Command prompt and typing:
net time \\<MANAGER-IP> /set
where the <MANAGER-IP> is the Manager IP recorded in a previous section.
5. Log out and log in as SCR.
6. Log in to the application as the service user.
7. Update the appropriate license keys for the Client Workstation.

Note… SecurViewRT requires new license keys. A master list of license keys is
included in the e:\mbc-scr-1\Hologic-Service\license_keys.txt file. For
each softcopy workstation, note the ID printed on the dongle (begins with
8-5E7…), then search the license_keys.txt file to locate the appropriate
keys. If the keys cannot be located, contact the Hologic Help Desk.
a. Log in to the application as the service user.
b. Select Administration
c. Select the Licensing tab.

d. Highlight any currently installed Generation 1.0 or 2.0 license keys and select
Delete.
e. If you are converting a Stand-Alone workstation to a Client, highlight the TWS-
STANDALONE key and select Delete.

Note… If this is a new installation, then Client license keys were entered at the
factory. If this is a conversion of existing stand-alone workstations, enter the
key for TWS-CLIENT. See Section 5.0 Licensing in the SecurViewRT User/
Administrator Guide.
8. Under the Feature field, enter the following:
• Feature: TWS-CLIENT
• Generation: 3.0
• Key: 20 character string obtained from license_keys file

Note… Make sure that the Key field is a 20 character string. Append zeros to the
end if the key contains less then 20 characters.
9. Click the Check button. The system verifies the information with the dongle and adds the
key if successful.
10. If connectivity to a CAD processor is required, enter the CAD license information and
again press the Check button. If there is no CAD processor, do not enter this information.
• Feature: MBC-CAD
• Generation: 3.0
• Key: 20 character string obtained from license_keys file
11. The client workstation is initially set up as a stand-alone system. To convert from a stand-
alone system to a Client:
a. Click the “Multi-Workstation” tab.
b. Click on the “Cluster Client, Manager Address” button.
c. Enter the Manager IP (See Chapter 3, Starting the Manager or Stand-Alone, p. 3-4)
and click Check. Confirm that it connects to the Manager.
d. Click Save. Confirm that you want to save the new system type.

Note… If this is a new installation, then there is no data to transfer and you should
leave the check boxes unchecked. However, you must still perform the
Migrate step.
e. Press Migrate.
• After the migration is complete, both the Client and the Manager restart and
synchronize.
• When the system restarts, the Client synchronizes with the Manager. The length
of time it takes to synchronize depends on how much data is on the system.
f. Repeat this section for all clients in the multi-workstation system.

3.2.1 Dialog Elements

The dialog elements of the Workstation Integration dialog have the following
functions:

Table 4-1: Dialog Elements of Workstation Integration Dialog

Element Type Description
User List View This list view is only enabled if one or both of the “Migrate User
Assignment Data” or “Migrate Annotations” check boxes are checked. It
displays how the local users (first column) are assigned to users on
the multi-workstation manager (second column). These manager
users either exist, or they are created.
If the user already exists, their user data on the manager is
overwritten by the local data of that user. If the manager user is
“[Same],” the local user and the manager user are considered the
same, but the local user data is not transferred to the manager (i.e.,
the manager user data is kept).
If a local user is assigned to the manager user “[None],” no migration
of the local user is done. This is especially useful for the two local
users “Application” and “Service,” who are not migrated by default.
Assign to Dropdown This element is only enabled if the check box “Migrate User Data”
Manager List is checked. The list is filled with the user names of all users on the
User multi-workstation manager, in addition to the special values
“[None]” and “[Same].”
Select a user in the dropdown list, and click the button “Set.” The
local user currently selected in the list view “User Assignment” is
assigned to the selected manager user.
Set Button This dialog element is only enabled if the check box “Migrate User
Data” is checked and a user is selected in the list view “User
Assignment.”
It assigns the user currently selected in the dropdown list “Assign to
Manager User” to the user selected in the list view “User Assignment.”
New Button This dialog element is only enabled if the check box “Migrate User
Data” is checked.
Click button to open a dialog where a new user name can be entered.
The name is added to the dropdown list “Assign to Manager User.”
Migrate Button Click this button to perform the migration.
If the check box “Migrate Image Data” is checked, all local image
data is moved to the multi-workstation manager.
If the check box “Migrate User Data” is checked, a user data
migration according to the list view “User Assignment” is done. All
user names assigned in this list view, that do not exist on the
manager, are created. All user data of users that already exist on
the manager, and that are marked for migration in the list view
“User Assignment,” are overwritten by the local user data.
A message box informs that the migration has finished. From now
on the workstation has no more local data, and is integrated into
the specified multi-workstation system.
Confirm message to close the migration dialog automatically.
Cancel Button Closes the migration dialog without doing any migration.

Network Problems

Appendix B—Troubleshooting

1.0 Network Problems

Network problems can occur on the client as well as on the manager side of a multi-
workstation.

1.1 Network Problems on a Client

Network problems can occur at system startup or during normal operation.

1.1.1 Problem occurs during System Startup

If a network error occurs during system startup, the multi-workstation manager cannot be
reached. A startup dialog appears, which allows you to shut down the system or to log the
user off from the operating system.
Every five seconds. the system tries to reach the multi-workstation manager until either the
manager reconnects or the user clicks Shutdown or the Log off from Operating System
button in the system startup dialog.

Figure B-1: Startup Dialog

If the network error has occurred due to a misconfiguration of the manager address on the
client side:
• The Microsoft Windows “Administrator” user can change the address using the separate
tool setmwserver.exe.
• This tool allows you to reconfigure the system type and to set the manager address.

1.1.2 Problem occurs during Normal Operation

If network problems occur, and the manager cannot be reached by a client any
more, this client is inoperable for the time of the network problem. In this case,
perform the following measures on the client (in the stated order):
1. Try to re-establish a connection to the manager after a given time-out has
expired. Time-out and number of retries are configurable in lightbox.ini on the
client using the variables MWS_RetryTimeOut (default: 1) and
MWS_RetryCount (default: 2).

P/N MAN-00344 B-1

Installation Manual
Appendix B—Troubleshooting
Network Problems

2. If the connection could not be re-established, the system displays an error

message and displays a button that allows a manual retry to re-establish the
connection to the manager:
If the user manually tries to re-establish the manager connection, and the
network problem has been removed, two cases must be considered:
• The manager has not yet cleaned up the sessions and locks of the client. In
this case, the user can continue working.
• The sessions and locks on the manager are cleaned up. In this case, the user
is logged out on the client, and all work on the current patient is lost.
If the user confirms the error message, or after the auto-logout time has expired,
the user is logged out from the system. If the network problem still exists the
next time a user wants to log in, the login fails with a message that states the
problem.
In all cases, where the user is automatically logged out due to network
problems, a message box is displayed that informs the user about the loss of
work on the current patient.

1.2 Manager
If the manager encounters a network problem concerning a client, the manager takes the
following measures (in the indicated order).
1. Tries to re-establish a client connection until a given time-out has expired (configurable
in lightbox.ini on the manager).
2. After the time-out has expired, closes all sessions and releases all locks for the
problematic client. This means that all work on the current patient gets lost for the user
of that client.
