9 Installation
9.6 Configuring the communication link to the
workstation
1.
Install the Dental Imaging software to the workstation.
2.
Connect the device to the local area network (LAN) or directly to the workstation
with an Ethernet cable. See chapter
Connection options
for more detailed
information.
NOTICE!
The unit requires 1Gb Ethernet connection between the unit and the
reconstruction workstation. The workstation must be connected to the unit in
accordance with IEC 60601-1-1.
3.
Configure the imaging software to connect to the device. See software instructions
for more information.
4.
When communication link has been established, the device GUI appears on the
screen.
9.6.1 Connection options
Network Configuration
In network configuration, the unit is connected to the workstation via a 1Gb network
switch. With this configuration, the PC is connected to the unit and to other devices
in the network with a single network card. The unit is also accessible from other
workstations in the same network (same subnet).
By default, the device is configured to retrieve its IP address automatically from the
DHCP server in the network.
For the network configuration with static IP address, you may need a dedicated IP-
address for the unit to be reserved by your local system administrator.
When configuring the IP address or DHCP server, the device can have any IP-address,
but it and the reconstruction workstation must be in the same subnet. Subnet mask is
recommended to be set as 255.255.255.0.
NOTICE!
The device does not support connection to IPv6 or L3 (routable)
networks. Only IPv4 is supported.
Standalone Configuration
In standalone configuration, the unit is connected directly to a workstation and the unit
then reserves the whole network interface card. The unit and the workstation function
as a single standalone system with no access to other networks. If it is necessary to be
connected to another network or to a server, the workstation will require two network
interface cards.
In standalone configuration, both the ETHERNET interface of the workstation and
the device IP address need to be set to have IP addresses from the same subnet, for
