Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about the software
The IP addresses of the autoclave and computer must be different in
the fourth number (e.g.: IP autoclave: 192.168.40.40 and IP com-
puter: 192.168.40.140)
The default setting of the IP addresses in a MELAG autoclave satis-
fies this prerequisite.
Connect Ethernet cable
5.
a) autoclave
computer with 1:1 cable
b) autoclave
network with crossover cable
If so-called "intelligent switches" are employed in the network, then
the type of cable is of no consequence. Every interface can be em-
ployed on the autoclave.

Server installation
7.
The following example describes the MELAG FTP server: Copy the
installation file of the FTP server to your computer and start the in-
stallation. If you have already acquired MELA
view
V2.0, start the in-
stallation directly from the installation assistant from MELAview V2.0
and follow the installation instructions.
Notice
In order to be able to install the MELAG FTP server, the free media
library “→Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0“ or a higher version must be
installed on your computer.
Start the program by left double clicking on the FTP symbol on your
desktop.
In the register
user,
create the autoclave as a new user. User name
= serial number of the autoclave, e. g. 200440-B1000; user pass-
word = MELAG12345.
Click on the folder and choose the favoured directory.
Notice
Enter the four digits of the year of construction as the user name.
Device labels show only the last two digits of the year of construction.
Example: If the label contains “0440-B1000“, enter exactly “200440-
B1000 “ as the user name.
Notice
Moving the FTP server to another folder on the computer results in
the loss of the user settings.
Testing
8.
The FTP server is started by double-clicking on the link symbol on
the desktop or the FTP symbol in the Windows start menu.
Depending on the computer's configuration, it might be necessary to
inform the computer's firewall that the FTP server is an exception.
With
SPECIAL
Menu
DOCU
Menu
you can create system and
status logs, since these are also always available without a running
program. The logs document all current settings of the autoclave and
can be employed for testing.
Furthermore make a test run with the immediate output of a log. In
the event of problems with the FTP server it is advisable to send a
ping to the IP address of the autoclave.
