How Do I Set Up T-Scan v10 Over a Network?
SERVER INSTALLATION
T-Scan v10 requires that SQL Server is installed and running on your server where you plan to locate your networked T-Scan database.
1. Before installing your T-Scan upgrade, please download a free version of SQL:
http://download.tekscan.com/public/dental/T10SQL/TScan10SQLSetup2014.exe
2. Save to a temp folder of choice, navigate there and start the setup.exe. Then proceed with the SQL installation. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Tekscan Technical Support at support@tekscan.com or (800) 248-3669 (option 5)
3. Once SQL installation is complete, navigate to the C:\Tekscan folder, select the Scans sub-folder, right click and select Share With. Add Everyone and adjust the Permission Level to Read/Write. For stricter network security, add individual user accounts instead of Everyone. Click Share, and then Done.
4. You will see a dialog like the one below. Take note of the server path (\\Dell-1SXY7V1\Scans in this example), as it will be critical that you select /enter this path during software installation on each operatory computer.
OPERATORY INSTALLATIONS
5. If a T-Scan upgrade is available, you will see Update as a selection in the Help menu in T-Scan. Click on Update to start the upgrade process.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions. When prompted to select the Database Server, click Browse and select the correct SQL Server/Instance name which should have the suffix “TSCAN10.”
7. When prompted to select where to save scans on the network, click Browse (or directly type the path). Point to the network folder you shared on the database server earlier (DELL-1SXY7V1\Scans in this example).
8. Repeat steps 5-7 for additional operatory computers, being sure to point to the correct Scans location on the network. All patient files should be accessible from that point forward.
9. Double check on each operatory by opening the software, going to Help > Technical Support, and ensuring Database Location and Scans Save Folder are both pointing to the correct locations.
