4.13 Installing the DishTrace PC software (optional)
If the DishTrace PC software will be used, it can be installed as follows:
4.13.1 DishTrace PC software
DishTrace PC is dish-data software for use on a PC that has the Microsoft
Windows operating system. It is used to view the status of the MINC+
incubators connected to the local PC network and to log information
pertaining to the dishes in the incubators. See Section 3.2 for details
about the operating systems that can support it.
DishTrace PC can simultaneously support a recommended maximum
of 50 MINC+ Benchtop Incubators, including 10 MINC Mini Incubators
(K-MINC-1000). The DishTrace PC software functionality applies only to
the MINC+ Benchtop Incubator. For connected MINC Mini Incubators,
the software can only record their operating state. DishTrace PC can view
and search all data records of registered dishes in any connected MINC+
incubators. The graphical history of any dish can be generated and
viewed as well.
DishTrace PC can generate various reports for all MINC+ incubator
activity. These reports are generated in an exportable PDF or CSV format
and can be stored in other folders in the PC's file system or on external
portable media such as a USB drive (FAT32 format).
DishTrace PC is described in detail in Section 5.5 of this document.
4.13.2 Before you begin
IMPORTANT NOTE: Ensure that the installer has local administrative
rights for the computer environment in which the software will be installed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: DishTrace PC is published by William A. Cook
Australia Pty. Ltd. and Windows will automatically confirm the validity of
the software during installation. If the publisher is different or cannot be
verified by Windows, contact your service agent.
4.13.3 Installing the DishTrace PC software
The DishTrace PC software is on the USB drive provided. To install,
perform the following steps:
1. Insert the Cook Medical USB drive into the computer's USB port and
open the drive folder via Windows Explorer.
2. Open the DishTrace_PC_xx.exe file as an Administrator to start the
installation process. The numbers in the xx position are the release
version.
3. During first-time installation, the following software packages (high-
level CBOM) will be automatically installed:
• USBXpress®
• Bonjour®
• .Net framework 4.5
• SQL Server®
These software packages are used by the installation application
when it is executing. Subsequent reinstallations of DishTrace PC do
not overwrite these files.
4.13.4 Add users to DishTrace PC users group
After DishTrace PC is installed, a new group called "DishTrace PC Users" is
automatically created. All non-administrative users of DishTrace PC must
be members of the "DishTrace PC Users" group to allow access to the
DishTrace database. All users must have an existing valid log-in account.
To add entries to the "DishTrace PC Users" group, the administrator must
perform the following steps:
1. Click on the Windows Start icon in the bottom left of the screen, type
"Computer Management", and press Enter.
2. From the left-hand panel, expand the Local Users and Groups entry.
3. Click on the Groups folder to display all known groups.
4. Right-click on the DishTrace PC Users group and select Add to
Group...
5. Click on the Add button at the bottom of the screen.
6. Enter the name of the new user into the panel that opens up similar
to the display below:
7. Click on the Check Names button to select the correct user and then
click on OK.
8. The original name entry will be updated to the correct valid user
object name. Click OK.
9. The new user name will now be seen in the Members panel.
10. Repeat from step 5 for all users to be added to this group. When
finished click OK.
11. Close the Computer Management utility.
4.13.5 Export DishTrace PC certificate
The network can only be secured once DishTrace PC has been installed
and Section 4.12.3 has been completed.
The security of the network is achieved using digital certificate
technology. All connected PCs and MINC+ devices will generate their
own public/private key pairs and create their own certificates. These
certificates will be exported manually from each connected PC to the
MINC+ devices. The corresponding export of the MINC+ device certificate
to the PCs will be performed automatically.
Export DishTrace PC certificate to USB drive
After DishTrace PC is installed, a certificate for the PC will be automatically
created and placed in the certificate repository. This certificate is a
self-signed certificate that will need to be imported into every MINC+
connected to the PC.
The Windows operating system utility mmc will be used to export the PC
certificate to a USB drive. Ensure that a USB drive is connected to the PC
before the next steps.
To export the PC certificate with mmc, perform the following steps:
1. On the PC, click on the Windows Start icon, type "mmc" in the search
dialog box, and press Enter. Click Yes to allow mmc to make changes
to the device. The following screen will be displayed:
2. From the File menu select Add or Remove Snap-ins. From the
Available snap-ins: panel, select Certificates and then click the
Add button as shown below:
