4 This chapter only contains an overview of the technical installation instructions and requirements The License Server and CMS are complex systems and each warrants their own Installation guides. These guides are found in the CMS and LS product packages. Before you proceed it is recommended you visit where you can find the latest updates, FAQs and documentation System overview The consists of up to four elements: Skills manikins o The manikins connected to the Resusci Anne Skills Station PC Skills training and testing software o The measurement and voice feedback software Laerdal CMS o Manages users and progress o Allows the administrator to set up and manage the (s) o Allows the users to book skills training and testing sessions Laerdal License Server o Manages licenses Please note: A PC is not included in the product from Laerdal Medical and must be supplied by the customer. The Resusci Anne Skills station is a hierarchical Server / Client system. At the top of the hierarchy is the Competence Management System (CMS) with its advanced user control, monitoring features and booking functions. Next we find the License Server which connects to the CMS if one has been configured. The License Server can be seen as a license-filter between the and the CMS, where the license information is stored. It can also function as a light user database if no CMS is installed. 4 Resusci_anne_skills-station_installation-guide_sp7012_UK.indd 4 25/01/08 10:51:33

5 Finally we have the actual where users interact with the manikin used for training and certification. User information and license information is not stored locally but is retrieved every time a user logs on. Additionally, if an Active Directory has been configured the CMS will look up users in the Active Directory, adding another layer. Descriptions of the functionality can be found in Chapter 2 Example of a typical installation The figure below shows how a typical installation would look in an organization with two s. The users can book sessions from home or work and can then show up at the location of the Skills Station and perform the Skills test. 5 Resusci_anne_skills-station_installation-guide_sp7012_UK.indd 5 25/01/08 10:51:33

License Server configuration To be able to log in, you will need to have licenses available in the License Server. Check these items if you are experiencing problems connecting to the License Server o Has the License Server been installed correctly? Is the service running? Are there licenses available in the License Server? If yes, have these licenses been made available to a user either by giving access while creating the user or by creating a license policy? o Is there a Firewall blocking the License Server? must be able to communicate with License Server on port Resusci_anne_skills-station_installation-guide_sp7012_UK.indd 8 25/01/08 10:51:33

9 Configuration of the Enable the I am a new user button After you have decided on how to set up the, you might want to let the students create themselves as users in the system. This is done by editing the file manikin.ini found in the Config folder in the installation folder. You must edit the line containing AllowCreateUser to the desired setting. Change the License Server IP address If your License Server changes then the easiest way to change the configuration, is to reinstall. Alternatively you can edit the file LSE.txt found in the installation folder. Backing up the The progress results from the Skills Station is only stored in the License Server and CMS. However the raw manikin data* from each attempt is stored locally on the PC. These files can be found in the progress folder in the installation folder. If you wish to back up these as well, then you must also back up the installation folder. *This can be useful for later research. Installing the CMS and License Server The CMS and License Server have their own s. Please consult these guides for detailed technical information. Important Active Directory information o At this point the system does not support Unicode logins from Active directory. o Importing users from Active Directory to the License Server might take a long time depending on the number of users. o If you have a lot of users in the Active Directory, who will not be using the, you can filter the users by group or enable the Synchronize users on demand setting. 9 Resusci_anne_skills-station_installation-guide_sp7012_UK.indd 9 25/01/08 10:51:34
