DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - procedure for assigning
numeric IP address to nodes in which blocks of addresses are leased
to clients on a first-come, first-serve basis. Typically, DHCP is com-
bined with WINS, meaning an IP address is both dynamically
assigned and automatically associated with a domain name. This can
be combined with DNS, resulting in a dynamically assigned numeric
IP address that is automatically associated with both NetBIOS and
Internet names.

ates numeric IP addresses with Internet-style names

WIP Work in Progress
Overview 1
NOTICE The Wizard (IES) can run only when the ICS is switched on; if the
ICS is switched off, the shared database cannot be accessed.
The software installation kit for SOMATOM systems is included in the delivery volume.
Note The CD SOMARIS/5 VA47B (A) includes the software for installa-
tion of both the Navigator (ICS) and the Wizard (IES).
Backup media 1
The standard backup device for Navigator and for the Wizard is the CD-Writer (drive [-R-]
CD-R). Alternatively, the MOD may be used, if available.
• Make sure a separate backup media (e.g. "CD Recordable") is on hand for both the
Navigator and the Wizard (if available).
To ensure that all archiving, filming, copying and networking jobs are finished and that the
respective queues are empty:
• Open the patient browser.
• Click Transfer -> Select "Local Job Status" and, if necessary, delete all entries.
• Click Transfer -> Select "Network Job Status" and, if necessary, delete all entries.
• Click Patient -> Select "Film Task Status" and, if necessary, delete all entries.
To perform the SW installation of the Navigator (ICS), the following data carriers are
required:
Required data 2
To perform the SW installation of the Navigator (ICS), the following data is required:
Regional Settings 2
Service key 2
• From the syngo user interface, select Options -> Local Service.
• Write down the service key.
Host name 2
The setting for the optional single session mode for CD-R burning is not contained in the
backup. The single session mode has to be configured explicitly after each SW installa-
tion; otherwise, the multi-session mode is configured by default.
Check the entry in the Windows NT registry for the current settting.
• From the <Start> button menu, select Run and type in regedit.
• In the registry path select
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Siemens\MedCom\Config\Modality\
archnet_common\CDR_MULTISESSION_FLAG\V1
Check the parameter V1; a value = 1 indicates a multi-session mode.
If the value V1 = 0, the single session mode is set.
Enabled Autoreports 2
- From the main menu of the service software, select AutoReport and check for active
reports
(these reports have to be enabled again after SW Installation).

Static routes are not saved with the backup. As a result, static routes have to be noted
before software installation.
• Note Persistent Route to the SRS target server (Fig.1). If no entry is found, no static
route was necessary for SRS.
(Europe: 194.138.39.0 / America: 129.73.116.0 / Asia: 194.138.243.0).
Backup 2
Note In case you have to install the SW at the Wizard as well, you may
start the SW installation during the backup procedure (refer to
pages 4-1 to 4-3 in chapter 4).
• Start the service software and select the Backup & Restore function in the main menu.
• Insert the backup CD-R for the Navigator.
• From Command, select Backup.
• From Drives, select the corresponding drive.
• From Packages, select CT-Scanner and click Go.

are saved correctly.
Starting Installation 2
Starting Windows 98
......
• Press <Enter> to continue installation (the ICS is beeping). This reboots the ICS.
NOTE Do not use Clear all hard drive(s). This option will format all hard
drives only (removes all software). No reinstallation of SW will be
started.
Installation running 2
From now on, the ICS installation runs automatically. No user action regarding ICS instal-
lation is required.
Note You may now continue with the software installation on the Wiz-
ard, if necessary (refer to page 4-4).
Note You can reduce the installation time to approx. 60 min. by cancel-
ing the memory check by pressing ESC during startup.
• Click ’Click here to start the Local Service Configuration’ to start the service software
(complete service license required).
Restore Steps 2
1. Restore 1: restore all groups of SW settings except User Settings and Service/
Database/DBOffset and all groups of CT scanner settings except IRS.
2. Reconnect the network cable and restart the Navigator.
3. Restore 2: restore the IRS tables and the User Settings.
Notice After Restore 1, the ICS and IRS synchronizes and the IRS
"default tables" are automatically transferred from the ICS to the
IRS. With Restore 2, the "site-specific tune-up tables" are
restored to the IRS.
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.
Restore 1 2
• In the main menu of the service software, select the Backup & Restore function.
• Insert the backup CD Navigator.
• From Command, select Restore.
• From Drives, select the corresponding drive.
• From Archive, select SW-Settings02.
• From Groups, select all except User settings and Service\Database\DBOffset and
click Go.
➪ Wait until "Ready".
Restore 2 2
• When started up, cancel the checkup platform and access the service software.
• In the main menu of the service software, select the Backup & Restore function.
• From Command, select Restore.
• From Drives, select the corresponding drive.
• From Archive, select SW-Settings02.
• In the main menu of the service software, select the Configuration function.
➪ Click Next until you reach the end of all entries.
When you reach the last page, click Finish.
Completion of configuration 2
Mandatory, if "Clear data on second hard drive" was selected in the installation mask.
• From the patient browser, select Transfer -> Import from Offline.
• From the drop-down list, select the path c:\Somaris\service\ReferenceImages.
• Select all images and click OK.
➪ After the import, the images are available in the patient browser.
Regional Settings 2
The multi-session mode is the standard default mode for the CD-R writer.
• If the single session mode is required by the customer, double-click the file
c:\Somaris\utils\single_session.reg with the Windows NT Explorer.
This setting is not contained in the backup and, as a result, has to be repeated after each
SW installation.
• To re-configure from single session to the standard multi-session mode, double-click the
file c:\Somaris\utils\multi_session.reg with Windows NT Explorer.
• From the Navigator press the <CTRL> and <ESC> buttons (Windows NT Access has to
be enabled).
• Click the <Start> button in the task bar and select Programs / CommandPrompt.
• Type in perl c:\Somaris\utils\determinewizard.pl.
➪ Choose the corresponding Wizard according to the host name.
Type in 1 or 2, then press Return.

Installation of IRS 3
It is not possible to keep raw data files. Make sure that raw data files are archived or
no longer necessary.
Final steps 3
Notice During the IRS software installation, the IRS "default tables" are
deleted. The IRS "default tables" have to be transferred manually
to the IRS. As a result, the batch file IrsTablesInstall.bat has to be
executed. Afterwards, the "site-specific tune-up tables" have to
be restored.
• At the Navigator (SOMARIS has been started up) open the Windows NT Explorer:
Click the Start button -> select Programs -> Windows NT Explorer.
• Select C:\Somaris\utils via the Explorer.
• Double-click the file IrsTablesInstall.bat.
➪ The "default tables" are transferred to the IRS.
• In the Service Software Main Menu, select the function Backup & Restore.
• Insert the backup CD Navigator.
• From Command, select Restore.
• From Drives, select the corresponding drive.
• From Archive, select CT-Scanner.
(This is only an example!)
• At "Ready," remove the backup CD Navigator and restart the complete system.
Notice After Restore 1 (refer to chapter 2), the ICS and IRS synchronizes
and the IRS "default tables" are transferred automatically from
the ICS to the IRS. With Restore 2 (refer to chapter 2) the "site-
specific tune-up tables" are restored to the IRS. No further steps
are necessary.
Note These instructions are valid for both the first and second Wizards.
To ensure that all archiving, filming, copying and networking jobs are finished and that the
respective queues are empty:
• Open the patient browser.
• Click Transfer -> Select "Local Job Status" and, if necessary, delete all entries.
• Click Transfer -> Select "Network Job Status" and, if necessary, delete all entries.
• Click Patient -> Select "Film Task Status" and, if necessary, delete all entries.
