Steve hi, Are you getting a 'timeout' error message too ? At any rate, check to see that none of your systems are running Windows 7 - especially the PC which might have the database on it... If you do, try removing it from the local network and see if that helps. Let us know, Ethan -----Original Message----- From: optimal-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:optimal-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Lusk Sent: 28 April, 2014 17:04 To: optimal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [optimal] Re: Question for users of multiple Heidelberg FA/OCT with one central database. currently the FA/OCT heidelberg is the central deatabase, IE image server. We are running Cat5E wired network with a 1000gb switch. Network seems speedy enough. At any given time there are 5 systems accessing the database but there can be as much as 10 PC's with the software open, albeit not all are being utilized at the same time. The problem seems to be with teh central database PC. It gives us error messages and lockouts that require a reboot. Very tedious and time consuming on a busy day. I'm trying to get a feel for what other groups are using successfully before I get heidelberg involved to find our next move.

How many concurrent users do you typically have accessing the database? What is the current speed of your network? (wireless/wired/100bT/1000bT) Network speed is the first thing to address, then the "server" (the main spectralis, NAS, dedicated server, etc), What are the specific errors you are receiving? -sandor On Mon, Apr 28, 2014 at 9:15 AM, Steve Lusk <slusk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi all. Wanting to pick the brains of those of you who are using more than one Heidelberg units. We currently have one FA/OCT unit that houses our central database and one that just does OCTs. we have about 14 review stations that all access the FA/OCT unit. We are experiencing multiple error messages on busy days from a seemingly overloaded central database. I was curious if anyone else is using a similar setup and what type of image server, NAS or whatever that you use and how efficient it saves image information. > > Thanks, > Steve > > Steve Lusk, CRA > Vistar Eye Center Retina Consultants > 5296 Peters Creek Road > Roanoke, VA 24019 > Phone: (540) 342-3400 ext. 4731 > Fax: (540) 362-1155 > slusk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > www.vistareye.com > > The information contained in this email may contain confidential > health information that is privileged and legally protected from > disclosure by federal law, the Health Insurance Portability and > Accountability Act (HIPAA).
