Samba Installation

Prerequisites

Overview

This procedure defines how to install Samba on to a system and map to a hard drive location on a Microsoft Windows based computer. The Advantage 4D Option uses a Microsoft Windows based system. Loading and enabling Samba on a system with Advantage 4D option allows for data to be quickly transferred between the Console and the Windows based system used by the Respiratory Gating Device software.

1 Confirming Network Connectivity Requirements

Procedure

  1. Make sure that an Ethernet cable is connected between the Respiratory Gating Device computer and the facility network (LAN).
  2. Check to make sure that the Respiratory Gating Device computer has an IP address in a Command Window:
    1. From Windows select: Start > Run
    2. Type: cmd
    3. Type: ipconfig

      Figure 1. IP Address of Respiratory Gating Device Computer

    4. Note the IP Address.
    5. Type: exit to close the command window.

2 Installing the Samba Software on the Console

2.1 Installing Samba Software

Procedure

  1. Open a unix shell.
  2. Type: cd  adv4d/scripts
  3. Type: adv4dInstallSamba_lnx.sh  -Install
  4. Enter: <Password> (GE software root password).
  5. To proceed:
    1. If the Customer wants limited access to the respiratory files on the Respiratory Gating Device computer, type: 1 (No password will be required to establish a network between the Respiratory Gating Device computer and system Console.)
    2. If the Customer wants open access to the respiratory files on the Respiratory Gating Device computer type: 2 (This option will require that the User types in a password to establish a network connection between the Respiratory Gating Device computer and system Console each time the Respiratory Gating Device computer is turned on or rebooted.)

      1. When asked, enter a unique password. (This password will need to be entered each time access to the Respiratory Gating Device computer is required.)

      2. IMPORTANT! Write down the password. This password will be needed later in this procedure and must be given to the Customer for continued use.

    3. Select: Finish.
      note: If the User selected Type 1 for the Samba Installation on the Console, then no username or password will be required to establish the network connection between the Respiratory Gating Device Computer and System Console.

      If the User selected Type 2 for the Samba installation, they will be prompted for the username, which is “smbuser_ct”, and the password, which was created during the Samba installation at the Console.

  4. (For Varian RPM) To set the new drive as the default export directory for respiratory files:
