Confirm the release and installation type
OrthoTrac server, workstation, terminal server, first-time install, and upgrade procedures are not interchangeable. Identify the installed release and read the matching Carestream installation guide before beginning.
Carestream documentation reviewed for this guide describes server installation and software registration as prerequisites to workstation installation. For a terminal server, the documented installation path differs from an ordinary remote user session.
Protect the workstation before setup
- Confirm that the required server-side installation and registration are complete.
- Confirm the workstation meets the current system requirements for the selected release.
- Verify the actual data destination and network mapping for this practice. The vendor documentation allows the destination to vary with hardware and network configuration.
- Check whether an OrthoTrac folder already exists on the workstation. The vendor guide warns that continuing in this condition can remove that folder and its contents.
- Confirm a current backup and recovery plan before continuing.
Install and verify with a controlled plan
- Schedule the work with the practice and confirm that users are signed out where required by the release guide.
- Use the official Carestream installer and the correct server or workstation procedure.
- Record the version, destination, and any environment-specific settings used.
- Restart only when the guide calls for it and the practice is ready.
- Open the application and verify the expected workflow with an authorized user before closing the change.
