System requirements. Installation. Licensing.

2. MELAtrace® System requirements
Operating system: Win Vista SP2, Win 7 SP1, Win 8, Win 10, Win Server 2008 SP2, Windows Server 2012
Processor: min. 1 GHz (x86) / 1,4 GHz (x64), recommended 2 GHz Multi-Core
User memory: min. 1 GB, recommended 4 GB
Free memory: min. 7 GB
Drive: DVD-drive or USB storage device
Software: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.5, SQL Express 2012
Optional: MELAprint 60 for label printing, Barcode-scanner

3. MELAtrace® Installation
MELAtrace Computer
all available Windows updates were installed
Windows was already rebooted after updating
administration rights for software installation
all MELAtrace users will use one computer “account” afterwards
Internet access mandatory required for installations on WIN8 and Win10 systems
Internet access for software support via TeamViewer

4. MELAtrace® Installation
MELAtrace MELAG device
Select correct output medium ( computer, external pc )
Immediate output -> yes
Graphic logs -> yes
Configuration of correct ip addresses
Choosing of correct way for log transfer ( FTP=0 or TCP=1 )
Premium-Plus
set internal batch approval inactive

5. MELAtrace® stand alone
“stand-alone” installation
only connection cables necessary
all MELAG device IP addresses fits together ( xxx )

6. MELAtrace® practice network
Installation into a practice network
contact responsible practice administrator
to get free IP addresses for devices which have to connect to the practice network
to clarify the way of log transfer in their network ( FTP or TCP )
to get FTP-Server installed
in order to open or configure installed security software
to discuss where the protocols have to be stored ( log path )
FTP
TCP
USB
direct
on the server

7. MELAtrace® Licensing
MELAview
the devices will be licensed in MELAview
each device needs an own license, calculated by the device serial number
MELAview holds the connection (via TCP or serial) and gathers the cycle protocols
MELAview has nothing to do with FTP

8. MELAtrace®
MELAtrace
to generate the license file we do need the fulfilled registration form with
Delivery note number
MELAtrace serial number
Practice name and address
address to send the license file

9. MELAtrace®
MELAtrace MELAprint60
Configuration of IP address via Configuration Tool

14. MELAtrace® FTP directly
FTP – File Transmission Protocol
+ Automatic reconnecting every 8 seconds
+ user friendly (starts automatically with computer)
+ freeware
- Firewall interupts connection after Windows Update (sometimes)
- installation on server needs administration rights

16. TCP – Transmission Control Protocol
MELAtrace® TCP
TCP – Transmission Control Protocol
+ Automatic connection establishing with MELAtrace start
+ connection is independently from firewalls
+ tcp connection module is already implemented in MELAtrace, no extra software needed
- Currently no automatic reconnecting available (machine switched off and on -> connection lost)
- Software on computer costs money (MELAtrace/ Practice software)
Port 65001
MELAtrace connection validation
In order to validate the connection,
that means
device and according IP-address match together,
a status protocol has to be
successfully transferred to computer directly
after connection establishing
Port 65001
Port 65001
TCP
Port 65001

17. MELAtrace® USB - serial connection
USB – Universal Serial Bus
+ easy connecting (plug and play)
+ without practice network
- Additional hardware required -> usb-serial converter
- max. 10m distance
- Usb-hub necessary with addional power supply
MELAtrace connection validation
In order to validate the connection,
that means
device and choosen Com-Port match together,
a protocol has to be
successfully transferred to computer
after connection establishing
