Service Software Introduction
1syngo Service Information

Overview 0

The Service Software is designed to follow the Med Software General Error Concept as
described in General Error Concept Med, Specification Catalog. The Service Software pro-
vides the Siemens ACUSON X300, AUCSON X300 Premium Edition and SONOVISTA
X300 ultrasound systems with the mechanism to comply with the General Error Con-
cept.The Service Software of SW versions 1.0/2.0/3.0 are based on the syngo Lite VE25A.
The Service Software of SW versions 4.0 and higher are based on the syngo Lite VE31F.
However, they have a unique customer UI compared to other syngo based modalities so
the steps that the user must take to enter some of the service applications is not common
with other modalities. Once a service application has been entered, the functionality is as
similar as possible to the standard syngo equivalent. Where the behavior differs from stan-
dard syngo behavior, it is noted within this document.The Service Software functions allow
the user to check the operation of the hardware and to detect failed circuit boards. Use the
methods described in this section to investigate the cause of malfunctions and the circum-
stances that existed when the malfunction occurred. The Service Software screens sup-
port only the English language.

CAUTION The installation and service of the equipment described here


are to be performed by qualified personnel who are employed
by Siemens or one of its affiliates or who are otherwise
authorized by Siemens or one of its affiliates to provide such
services.
Assemblers and other persons who are not employed
by or otherwise directly affiliated with or authorized by
Siemens or one of its affiliates are directed to contact
one of the local offices of Siemens or one of its affili-
ates before attempting installation or service proce-
dures.

2-
Overview
2Local Service Software Access

Local Service Software Access is a service session that is displayed locally on the system
using the systems control panel, keyboard, and monitor. For local users of the ultrasound
system, the entry point for Service functionality is the Presets, then Service menu. The Ser-
vice menu is an ultrasound-specific page, which is visible only to local users. It is not a part
of the syngo Service User Interface (UI); however, part of its functionality is to provide a link
for the user to open the syngo Service UI. This dialog provides information to the user as
detailed below.

1. Go to the Preset Main screen by selecting the Preset button on the Control Panel of the
system.

8 Remote Service Software Access
3-
Overview
3Remote Service Software Access

Remote Service Software Access is a service session where the service UI is executed
from some other location. It is used by network connection; a stand-alone PC which is con-
nected to the system via an Ethernet crossover cable, or a remote PC which is connected
via a LAN connection. This allows a Customer Service Engineer to perform service tasks
on a system without being at the physical location of the system. Remote Service Software
Access differs from a Local Service Software Access in that access is controlled by the
ultrasound user via the Remote Service Access Control dialog.

1. Click Remote button in the Service Main screen to display the Remote Service Access
Control Dialog.

The following figure shows the Remote Service Access Control Dialog.

Fig. 4: Remote Service Access Control Dialog


The default setting is 'No Access' (ACUSON X300 r5.0 or below systems) and 'Limited
Access Permanent' (ACUSON X300 r6.0 or higher systems). The Limited Access Per-
manent / Limited Access allow for remote access to the system without interrupting the
customers normal work flow. Certain service functionality needs full access permis-
sion from the user, so that remote personnel can perform those functions, such as sys-
tem diagnostics. At any time, the customer can select No access to terminate the
remote accessibility, so the system can be used mobile.

Mode Description
Full Access All Service Software func-
tions are available. The sys-
tem is assigned exclusively
to the remote session.
Limited Access The modem port will be con-
Permanent tinuously available.

does not occur during this
time period, the modem port
is disabled automatically.
No Access User does not allow the
remote access.

The customer can change the access mode from Limited Access or Limited Access
Permanent to Full Access and vice versa at anytime. The customer has to confirm the
end of the current service mode in a pop-up window.

Zone menu. The Test Route button verifies the connection to the SRS Access Server by a
ping command.

NOTE If the ping fails, it may not be a problem in the network itself.
It may also be caused by an automatic suppression of the
ping, because of security reason. Please contact the network
administrator in this type of case, if the connection to the
SRS cannot be established successfully. Also, if the connec-
tion is not established, the Routing setting will not be saved.

Mail Screen
This menu item allows the configuration of the mail target for the Auto Report function and
for the Service center provided in the Customer User Interface at Option - Remote Service.
A target is defined by a mail server and a mail account on that server and may be reachable
via LAN, e.g., a router, or via RAS, e.g., a modem.
The procedure is performed in two steps. First, configure the host name and IP address
and RAS settings (only if the target is accessible via modem) of the mail targets. Then enter
the e-mail address for this server. For the Siemens Remote Server (SRS), enter an e-mail
address known at the mail server connected to the Siemens Remote Server.
The following figures show the Main screen.

Server Network Address Translation


The three (3) listed servers (Asset, Event, Software Distribution Server) are the back-end
servers for the System Management functions. In a standard network environment, the IP
addresses for these servers are retrieved from the SD Server already configured during the
registration procedure. In some cases, the network administration only allows their own
address range, which would consequently sup press any traffic with the original IP address.
Therefore, the Server Network Address Translation box must be checked and addresses
within the allowed address range must be entered for each server.

Local Host Network Address Translation


If the on-site router for the SRS connection uses NAT (Network Address Translation), this
check-box is selected, and the NAT IP address assigned to the original IP address, as
shown in the first field, has to be reentered into the enabled address entry field.
The Test button initiates a PING command to the configured SD Server IP address. A
TCP/IP ping may fail for the following reasons:
The remote host is turned off or not in the same network (or subnet), or the gateway is
not configured.
The TCP/IP address is configured incorrectly.
Any networking device (router, switch, bridge,...) denies access to the other network.

Remote Updating of the Software 5.9

The installation of non-critical software packages can be coded to be installable by the sys-
tem user without any CSE support. As soon as those packages are completely transferred
from the software distribution server to the system (push mode), the user is notified during
the system startup by a SD User Interface (pop-up) that a software package is available
for installation and the user can accept the installation or decide how to proceed with it.

1. Power on the system and wait for it to boot up. Notice the current system software ver-
sion is shown in the lower left corner of the screen.

is pending for installation. The following screen will appear.

Fig. 82: Siemens Remote Services Software Distribution Screen


All the information in the Software Distribution screen is provided by the package itself.
Without any user action, the UI stays on the screen for a specified time period, as
shown in the bottom of the Software Distribution screen. After this time period elapses,
the software installation request is still shown in the form of the icon in the syngo Status
bar, where it can be called up at anytime.
Description of the action items in the SD User Interface:
- Yes
Starts the installation of the software package and a progress bar is shown as well.
- Defer
The SD User Interface is closed, which means that the installation is postponed and
that the user will be requested to install the package at the next system startup or the
user can invoke it again through the icon in the Status bar.
3. Select Yes button on the screen below if you want to update the software.

NOTE As long as the software package is not installed, the Soft-


ware Distribution window will be displayed after each sys-
tem boot, asking you to carry out the installation.
