SW Installation ICS 2 11
2.1 Preparation
2.1.1 Conditions for starting the SW installation

To ensure that all archiving, filming, copying and networking jobs are finished and that
the respective queues are empty:
n Open the Patient Browser.
n Click Transfer > Select “Local Job Status” and if necessary, delete all entries.
n Click Transfer > Select “Network Job Status” and if necessary, delete all entries.

 For safety reasons, the customer needs to archive all images and raw data prior to instal‐
ling the software.
To ensure successful installation of the software, ensure the following:

n
- No restart must be pending due to changes made in the configuration. Open Lo‐
calService > Configuration, check whether "restart pending" is shown in the
message bar. If that is the case, click HOME to start the missing automatic restart.
 - All applications (e.g. Explorer, Patient Browser) must be closed and stay closed dur‐
ing the entire update unless requested in the instructions.
- Walk through the installation step by step and do not try to save time by working
out your own "installation strategy". This is especially important when in‐
stalling the Wizard. WAIT when it asks you to wait until the Navigator is ready.
- Thanks!

with the next page.
2. SRS Target Host (TCP/IP Address):
- Fürth for sites in Europe/Africa
- Newark for sites in America
- Singapore for sites in Asia/Australia
3. SRS Gateway (static route):
- If a static route was configured in
VB35B, the IP address of the SRS gate‐
way is displayed under TCP/IP address
(192.168.217.253 is only an example)
- Press Save to save the site data.

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 Furth, it
cannot use the real IP address 194.138.39.18, but rather a NAT address given by the
network administrator. For SRS, the administrator provides a NAT address for the
SRS Access Server and for the 3 CA Unicenter Servers. The NAT addresses have to
be entered in the SRS Basic Settings. Outside NAT is used very seldom, except in
countries like Sweden, where the complete SRS environment is built on Outside
NAT functionality.
Fig. 11: n Select Service > SRS > Outside NAT
- SRS Target Host: Select the SRS server
where your system is connected to,
such as Furth, Newark , 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
n Press Save to save the site data.
n Click to next page or “>” to perform a SRS
connection check.
 The connection test is successful
if both the connection to the SRS
server and the connection to the
Somatom Life Extranet are OK.
