11. REMOTE VIEWER
There are two ways to review DRS data and images from a remote PC, a tablet or a smart-phone.
The first is by connecting to an existing network (LAN) and the second is by creating a private
network, even in absence of an existing network infrastructure. The DRS supports both wired and
Wi-Fi connections in both the regular and private network modes
.
The DRS remote viewer uses standard Internet browsers and does not require
installation of any software application on the remote PC.
Supported browsers include: Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 8 or later), Mozilla
Firefox (version 3 or later), Apple Safari, Google Chrome.
Remote visualization through a LAN
To configure the DRS for LAN access see par. 14.3. In order to use the remote viewer with an
existing LAN proceed as follows:
1. Connect the DRS to the LAN;
2. Connect the remote PC to the LAN;
3. In case the local area network does not provide automatic IP assignments, configure the
DRS as explained at par. 14.3 and configure the remote PC with a different IP;
4. Retrieve the DRS IP, as explained in Settings >> Network (see par. 14.3, Figure 36);
5. Type the DRS IP in the URL box of the remote PC’s Internet browser.
Remote visualization through a private network
To configure the DRS for a private network access see par. 14.3.
To use the viewer in wireless mode proceed as follows:
1. Enable the wireless connection of your PC, tablet or smart-phone (some restrictions apply:
not all devices support private network);
2. Select the wireless network created by the DRS that will be called “drs-s/n”;
3. Open the browser;
4. Type http://drs in the URL box of the remote PC’s Internet browser.
Once the connection is established, the DRS patient list will show up on the remote PC, tablet or
smart-phone (please consider that not all devices support the private network). You might be
required to type a password depending whether password protection was enabled in the DRS
settings (see 14.3). Available functions include:
Patient list (same as Figure 9);
Patient record screen (same as Figure 23)
Access to individual images.
some Wi-Fi network cards may fail to establish connection with the DRS when using the private network
mode. In such case an external router is required to successfully connect via Wi-Fi
