3 Installing Software
3.1 Checking Prerequisites
Purpose: Checking the prerequisites before installation is a last check to confirm that the
software installation can be started.
Check the following items before starting the installation:
 Use the correct set of the Installation DVDs:

o PC model dependent HP Restore DVD* (required for Windows 7 Systems only)
o NX Starterkit DVD 1
o NX Starterkit DVD 2
 Make sure a network is connected:

o When installing, the NX PC must have a network connection.
The minimum is a connection to a hub so the system can recognize a network
connection and another PC on the network.
o The system can be connected to a larger network like the hospital or company
network. In this case, if other NX systems are installed at the same time, an IP
conflict can occur.


3.2 Collecting Information about Network Settings
Purpose: The network settings are set back to default with a clean installation. Therefore its
recommended to check and write down the network setting before.
This step is not required when installing a new PC where NX has not been installed
yet (Swap PCs coming from spare parts stock or exchange PCs from DELL / HP /
Onyx).
(1) Log in using the crservice account.
(2) Open a command prompt window (Start > Programs > Accessories >
Command prompt)
(3) Type: ipconfig /all
(4) Write down:

 Host name
 DHCP enabled yes/no
 If DHCP is disabled: IPv4 Address (in Windows XP this is named "IP
address")
(5) Following steps are required only if the current software is ≥ NX 2.0.8700 /
3.0.8700: Start the NX Configuration Tool.
(6) Go to: General Settings > Workstation Settings > Advanced
(7) Check whether an IP address is set. If yes, write down the selected IP address.


3.3 Collecting Information about configured Users
Purpose: The configured users are all deleted with a clean installation. Therefore its
recommended to check and write down the configured users before.
This step is not required when installing a new PC where NX has not been installed yet
(Swap PCs coming from spare parts stock or exchange PCs from DELL / HP / Onyx).
(2) Go to the desktop and right-click Computer.
(3) Select the Manage option.
(4) Select System Tools  Local Users and Groups  Users.
(5) Check, which users have been added, except the default users.

the users)
Figure 3
(7) Select the “Member of” tab to see, if

the user has been added to a user
group.
Figure 4


3.4 Collecting Information about Security Settings
The configured settings are all deleted with a clean installation. Therefore its
recommended to check and write down the configured security settings before.
By re-installation of the operating system the security settings (e.g. password

complexity enabled/disabled) are lost. If the security settings have been previously
changed, they need to be adapted again after installation of the operating system.
 Go to the Local Security Menu as described in 03-2014 Service Manual

chapter 4 Installation and Configuration Appendices DD+DIS300.12E, section

to be carried out on the PC.
10.3 For DX-M Mammography Systems only: Checking whether IP Gain

Calibration Files are present
Purpose: Mammography cassettes delivered as of Q III / 2011 have an IP Gain Calibration CD

ROM included. This CD ROM is loaded to the NX system in order to use the detector in
the system. On a clean installed NX workstation the information from the IP Gain
Calibration CD ROM(s) is not available anymore.
In a system with two or more NX workstations, where at least one additional workstation
is switched on, the IP Gain Calibration Files are automatically transmitted to the clean
installed NX workstation when the Mammography detector is entered in the ID tablet.
(1) Ensure that all NX workstations in the network are switched on and the NX
application is running.
(2) Enter each Mammography detector in the ID tablet.


(3) Select menu: Main Menu > Read & Initialize Cassette > Read
(4) Check parameter IP Gain Calibration:

 If it is NO: No further action required
 If it is YES, the IP Gain Calibration file for this detector is transferred now
automatically from another workstation.
NOTE:
If the IP Gain Calibration File is not available on the network (e.g. no other NX
workstation available) or cannot be transferred out of any reason (e.g. other NX
workstations switched off) this is indicated by error message:
“MESS446: Error, no valid image plate gain calibration file found"
For each Mammography Detector where following error message appears:

“MESS446: Error, no valid image plate gain calibration file found":
(5) Insert the CD ROM which was part of detector delivery.
(6) Execute the .exe file located in the root of the CD ROM and follow the further
instructions.
For this step be sure to have all NX workstations in the network switched on and
the application running.
IMPORTANT:
If the IP Gain Calibration CD ROM is lost, proceed as follows:
(7) Read the “Plate ID” in the read Plate ID on RF Tag Chip Card
cassette menu (Parameter
“Identification”) or on the RF Tag
Chip Card. Example: 302 - 1349TY0001 - 20102102
