Installing the RetinaVue Network software application involves the distinct steps of logging in to the RetinaVue Network Customer Portal, downloading the RetinaVue Network software application for each computer that you will be using to transfer images to the RetinaVue Network, and then activating the RetinaVue Network software application for each authorized computer.
Install the RetinaVue Network Software Application
- The RetinaVue Network software application installation requires Windows® Administrator privileges.
- A high-speed Internet connection is required.
- Follow the instructions from the RetinaVue Network: Registration Card, Customer Portal Quick Start Guide, and the Setup Process to create an account with the Welch Allyn RetinaVue Network and complete the registration process.
- Log in to the RetinaVue Network Customer Portal using the new User Name and Password that you entered during the initial account set up.
- The RetinaVue Network software application installation requires an activation key found on the RetinaVue Network Customer Portal Download page. Tip: Copy the activation key from the Customer Portal Download page and paste it into the RetinaVue Network software application.
To acquire the RetinaVue Network software application for the computer that you will be using to transfer images to the RetinaVue Network:
- Click on the RetinaVue Network Software Download link to download the latest RetinaVue Network software application.
- After the RetinaVueNetworkSetup-3.6.X.exe file finishes downloading, open Windows Explorer to locate the file in the default Download folder location. Right-click on the executable file (RetinaVueNetworkSetup-3.6.X.exe) and select Run as administrator.
Note: While the application can be opened by clicking on the RetinaVueNetworkSetup-3.6.X.exe file, Welch Allyn does not recommend this method because the Windows operating system may prevent a complete installation.
- Click Install.
Note: If the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 and Visual C++ 2013 are previously installed as part of your computer's Windows operating system, the installer recognizes these applications. However, if the Install wizard needs to install these applications the installation will take an additional 5 to 10 minutes depending upon your network connection speed and traffic.
- After the software installation is complete, click Launch on the Installation completed successfully! screen.
- Enter your RetinaVue Network Software Activation Key from the RetinaVue Network Customer Portal Download page into the RetinaVue Network software application.
Note: The red border around the data entry field indicates that data needs to be entered or that there is a data entry issue. The red border disappears once the activation key is correctly entered in the right character length and format.
Note: Hover the mouse over the data entry field to display tool tips about the nature of the data entry issue. (i.e., Activation key cannot be empty.)
- Click Next.
- Select your clinic where you will be using the software by highlighting the clinic.
Note: If multiple clinics appear in the list, you might have to use the scroll bar to move down through the list to see your clinic.
- Select the state where the exams will take place.
Note: If the exams take place in the same state as the clinic, click Yes and proceed to the next step. If the exams do not take place in the same state as the clinic, click No and use the drop-down menu to choose your state.
- Select the camera from the drop-down menu.
- Click Next to restart the software with the new settings. Click OK.
