RXLWin Requirements (Windows Version)
 
SQL or SQL Express 2005 - the database we need for our backend is based on Microsoft SQL. The user can opt for our FREE SQL Express version of the database backend or may purchase a license for Microsoft SQL Server from Microsoft.


Single User install (RxlWin can be installed on as many computers as you like, but only ONE person can access the database at a time)

  • PC with Pentium 4 processor or better with pcANYWHERE installed on it for remote control
  • Minimum 1 gigabyte RAM (2 gig recommended)
  • 80 gigabyte hard disk drive (recommend faster access drives)
  • Microsoft Windows XP Pro(Home versions will NOT work)
  • CD-ROM quad speed or better
  • Backup hardware (Tape, CD-R, DVD-R) and backup media
  • (backup is the user responsibility - we can and will show the user how to create a xxxxxx.BAK SQL backup file that can be copied to any drive on the network - each facility is responsible for provind adequate backup for those BAK files - this means that if the computer crashes and we need to restore we will need to obtain a copy of the last BAK file from the facility)
  • We need a fast connection to your PC - Note that a VPN/Internet connection that is broadband is required.
  • Keyboard and mouse and touch screen if desired (Touch Screen option - the USB model of the KTMT-1921 will handle up to a 21 inch screen easily and for about $300.00 will make most of Rx-Link touchable on the screen (some typing will still need to occur))
  • 19” monitor (minimum) and video card capable of 1024 x 768 resolution(21 inch recommended)
  • Uninterruptible Power Supply (recommend 350-650 VA) exclusively for the computer system and monitor
  • - printers should NOT be plugged into the UPS
  • Journal/Report Printer: LaserJet 6ppm or faster
  • Label Printer: Dot-matrix (recommend OKIDATA ML590) or ZEBRA Z4MPLUS with CUTTER or Citizen CLP-521 with cutter and ZPM emulation ROM
  • The Citizen printer can be purchased from RMS Omega
  • a security group called “RxLinkUsers” must exist with all user accounts for personnel who will have access to the application included.
  • Account on the domain, or local system if a single system install, called bking. This account must be added to the “RxLinkUsers” group.
  • if the Crown HL7 Interface is to be installed, an account for the service to login as. This account must have rights to run as a service and must be in the “RxLinkUsers” group. It is recommended that this account be called “RxHL7IF”. (Although some site have a designation of "s_" or "svc_" in front of the name to denote that it is a service account. Examples are: svc_RXHL7IF  or s_RXHL7IF. Any name is acceptable to us as long as we know what it is.) If this is not the name used for the service the actual name must be communicated to Crown Software along with the password for the account.
  • Identify if there are any policies in place that dictate a non-standard install, i.e. installation of any components into non-default locations, MS SQL Server 2005 already installed, use of a named instance of MSSQLSERVICE, SQL Express 2005 to be configured on other than default ports, etc.
  • Micromedex Agreement signed and CDs on site

     

Multi-User install - note that each PC must have pcAnywhere on it for remote control (HOST) - Multi-user installs MUST be on a domain - workgroups will not work.

    • a security group called “RxLinkUsers” must exist with all user accounts for personnel who will have access to the application included.
