3 USER ACCOUNT RECOMMENDATIONS
NOTE
Romexis Cephalometric Analysis module is supported on Windows operating systems.
NOTE
Romexis 3D Ortho Studio is supported on 64-bit Windows operating systems.
NOTE
Romexis Planscan and PlanCAD Easy is supported on Windows 8 operating systems.
NOTE
Consult your local dealer for detailed information on device support for different platforms.
3 USER ACCOUNT RECOMMENDATIONS

Required user account during the installation is Administrator.
NOTE
On Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating systems the UAC level must be less than 2.
The user account which starts the Romexis Service on a 64-bit operating system must
have a valid password set (not null).
4 NETWORK RECOMMENDATIONS
The server client communication is based on Java RMI over TCP/IP, thus support for TCP/
IP protocol is required. Network bandwidth requirements are dominated by digital imaging
requirements. The retrieval of a digital 2D image for viewing requires a transfer of roughly
1 MB of data over the network, while opening a 3D volume for viewing will require a
transfer of 250 MB of data, which thus creates a major load on the network and of course
this transfer time dominates the user observable system performance. Planmeca
recommends that for 3D capture and viewing a gigabit Ethernet should be utilized where
possible.
NOTE
Since the Java RMi protocol relies on multiple simultaneous TCP/IP connections at random
ports, RomexisService.exe needs to be allowed full access to all ports above and including
port 1024. Please refer to your fire wall user guide on how to best achieve this. If a fire wall
is not used in the Romexis intranet this requirement can be ignored.
5 SECURING IMAGE DATA

Image data can be secured by backing up the C:\Romexis_images\ folder. The patient
database should be secured using backup tools of the respective database engine. Refer
to the Windows Backup facility or the documentation of your backup solution.

6 KNOWN ISSUES
6 KNOWN ISSUES
If the user account with which Romexis Service is started does not have a valid password
set (not null) Romexis server 12-bit JPEG coding does not work.

14 DIDAPI CONFIGIGURATION TOOL

This section describes how to use the Planmeca DidapiConfig application for configuring
Planmeca ProMax, ProOne, Proline, ProSensor and Dixi X-ray systems.
NOTE
Please see the X-ray unit manuals for availability of specific features.
NOTE
All systems have separate technical manuals, which should be used in conjunction with this
one.
NOTE
Some settings are common to all devices whereas others are device specific. Thus the
contents of the tab images used may be different from the contents in the corresponding
tab of a specific device. In case the settings can be applied only to (a) specific device/s it
is indicated next to the title in question.
14.1 Starting Didapi Configuration tool

1. Click the Didapi icon on your desktop.
2. In the following window select the device you would like to configure.

14.2 Summary
System information
In the System information field the following information is displayed:
• Operating system
• Computer name
• User name
• Processor
Didapi
NOTE
All the following paths are requested from Didapi.dll. Thus the paths are the ones used by
Didapi.
In the Didapi field the following information is displayed:

• Didapi version
The current Didapi software version.
• Didapi.dll path
The path where the DidapiConfig and the exposure programs using the Didapi.dll
are stored.
In 64-bit Windows operating system the Didapi.dll file is in the format
Didapi_64.dll and in the 32-bit Windows operating system in format
Didapi.dll. For simplicity the format Didapi.dll is used when referring to both
systems.
Sometimes there might be several Didapi.dll files (backups or old/erroneous
installations. The currently used Didpi.dll file is shown in this folder.
• Ethernet configuration file path

The path where the IP settings are stored. This path can be configured in the Network
settings tab, see section 14.5 "Network settings" on page 68.
• Calibration file(s) path
The path where the sensor calibration files are stored. This path can be configured in
the Log tab, see section14.7 "Log" on page 71.
• Didapi log file path
The path where the Didapi log is stored. This path can be configured in the Log tab,
see section 14.7 "Log" on page 71.
• Didapi.ini path
The path where the Didapi.ini file is stored. This path cannot be configured.
• Images –folder path
The folder where the images to be reprocessed are stored for supported devices. This
path cannot be configured.
Open .ini file

Clicking the button opens the Didapi.ini file where most settings modified by
DidapiConfig software are stored.
Open images -folder

To open the folder where the raw images are stored click this button.
Delete calibration files (ProSensor only)

To delete calibration files click this button. The following warning appears.
To go through with delete click Delete, otherwise click Cancel.

14.3 Image processing
In the Image processing tab you can set the preprocessing settings for:
• Dimax 2/3/4 and Smartpan panoramic
• Bitewing
• TOMO and TMJ
• ProCeph (ProMax device selected)
and
• Cephalostatic images
The content of the Image processing tab depends on the currently selected device, see
step 2 on page 61.
The Planmeca ProMax, Proline and ProOne share the same settings, as only one device
can be configured at a time. However, only the settings relevant for the current device are
shown. Thus the number of tabs shown depends on the device that is been currently
configured.
The settings in the Planmeca ProMax, Proline and ProOne Image processing tab do not
affect the Planmeca ProSensor and Dixi 1/2/3 settings which are also independent on
each other.
NOTE
Some settings might exclude each other, e.g. you must use either Auto levels settings or
Logarithmic mapping.
To restore default settings click the Set defaults button.
Auto levels enabled

• White
Defines the percentage of cumulative shades of grey that is left out of the contrast
range from the upper end of the contrast range.
• Black
Defines the percentage of cumulative shades of grey that is left out of the contrast
range from the lower end of the contrast range.

• Midtones (gamma)
Adjusts the gamma curve of the image. Values below 1 will darken the image
whereas the values above 1 will brighten it. When set to 1 the value is not altered.
Logarithmic mapping
Logarithmic mapping can be used to add contrast in the image.
• SCurve
The SCurve processing is a step where the difference of raw data from image to
image is compensated. The SCurve defines a look up table to convert 16-bit data into
12-bit.
The raw data values are different depending on exposure values, patient thickness, x-
ray tube, CCD camera, filtering, aging, etc.
As the position of the curve is changed less radiation moves the curve leftwards and
higher dose moves the curve rightwards. The SCurve searches the histogram and
converts or compresses the data to 12-bit scale - into values between 0 and 4095.
Select the appropriate Scurve from the drop-down menu.
• SCurve quick guide button

To open the quickguide click this button.
• FMH (ProSensor and Dixi 1/2/3 only)

To select noise filter check the FMH option.
Auto exposure threshold values (ProSensor only)

Threshold values define how easily the sensor detects the start of an exposure. Normally
default values should always be used. If image is triggered without radiation, increasing
the threshold value could solve the problem. If exposure is missed or image integration
starts too late, lower threshold value might help.
Soft tissue filter enabled (ProCeph and Cephalostatic only)

Use this option to show more facial soft tissue.
The scale is from 1,5 to 10. Values above 1 will brighten the image.
DICE
Dental Image Contrast Enhancement (DICE) adjusts and optimizes the contrast of the
image automatically and brings out image details on the entire grey scale.
To set DICE on or off separately for different image modalities check the DICE check
boxes. With panoramic and cephalometric images DICE is selected by default.
Use AGC
NOTE
The AGC setting is shared between PAN, Bitewing, TOMO/TMJ and CEPH tabs.
The Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is supported by later Dimax2 and all Dimax3 sensors.
It is recommended to activate the AGC if the sensor supporting this option is used.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) optimizes digital sensor sensitivity to produce excellent
image quality regardless of tissue and bone thickness.

14.4 Exposure settings (Dixi 1/2/3 only)
Exposure mode
In this field you can select the method the sensor uses to detect when an exposure is
taken.
• Auto exposure
The sensor automatically detects the start of radiation by itself.
• Sync. cable exposure (w/PCI or Ethernet interface)
The start of exposure is synchronized with the exposure switch.
Auto exposure threshold values

Threshold values define how easily the sensor detects the start of an exposure. Normally
default values should always be used. If image is triggered without radiation, increasing
the threshold value could solve the problem. If exposure is missed or image integration
starts too late, lower threshold value might help.
Synchronization settings
These settings are valid for Sync cable exposure mode.
• Exposure time
Maximum time for exposure. Sensor stays in image integration mode this long. Set
this value to maximum exposure time used on clinic. Setting too high exposure time
results in noisier images. Setting exposure time lower than used exposure time,
results blurred image.
• Preheat time
The x-ray tube preheat time The default value is usually good with Planmeca Intra.

14.5 Network settings
Ethernet settings
• ProMax with SmartPan
Select this option if you’re using SmartPan sensor.
• IP address and IP port
The IP address and the IP port for Planmeca Promax, ProOne and Proline need to be

ProSensor: 172.26.150.150 (no port)
Dixi1/2/3: 192.168.0.135:5120
• Box port (Proline and Dixi1/2/3 only)
For Planmeca Proline and Dixi1/2/3 the box port also needs to be set.
The box port is 1/2 depending on the type of connection.
• Reco PC IP address and IP port

The IP Port for RecoPC and ProMax is always 5000 and 5003 for SmartPan.
• Ping IP
Once the IP address has been configured you can test the connection by clicking the
Ping IP button.
The result will be displayed at the bottom of the image.
• Activate IP

Only one Promax/ProOne/Proline Ethernet device can be activated at a time. The IP

addresses of the currently activated devices are shown at the bottom of the start
page.
There can be maximum two active addresses:

• one for PAN/CEPH (Planmeca ProMax, Proline and ProOne)
and
• one for INTRA (Planmeca ProSensor, Dixi1/2/3).
To activate the current IP address click Activate IP button.
Clicking the Activate IP button activates the current device and stores its IP address
and deactivates the IP address of the ProMax/Proline/ProOne or ProSensor/Dixi123

and stored whereas the Proline and ProOne IP addresses (if active) are disabled. The
Ethernet settings field and the Activate IP button are disabled.
When the IP address of the device is active the address fields are active and the IP
address can be set or changed. The Activate IP button is inactive (grey) and cannot
be used.
When the IP address of the device is not active the address fields cannot be set or
changed. The Activate IP button is active and can be used.
Planet connection settings (ProSensor only)

The Planmeca ProSensor Planet cable is an optional feature of Planmeca Intra X-ray unit
that is used for connecting the device to a computer, as in Planmeca ProSensor there is
no connection for Planmeca Intra. When the planet cable is connected Planmeca Intra
sends exposure parameters to the Romexis. The exposure parameters used with
Planmeca ProSensor are voltage (kV), current (mA), exposure time (s) and DAP
(mGy2cm2).
The Planet cable can also be used to open/lock Planmeca Intra in case the locking mode
has been enabled in the Romexis. In this mode exposures cannot be taken if the Romexis
is not in exposure mode or if for example the exposure request of a student has not been
approved.

The DICOM interface can be configured in the Planmeca Romexis Admin module (see
Planmeca Romexis User’s manual, section DICOM Configuration).
16 X-RAY DEVICE ETHERNET CONFIGURATION IN

TERMINAL SERVER ENVIRONMENT
To configure a separate device for each Terminal Server client workstation follow the
instructions below.
X-ray device ethernet configurations are made in the ethernet configuration files, located
in the C:\Program Files\Planmeca\Didapi folder. The file names are:
• ProSensorEthernetConfig.txt
• PromaxEthernetConfig.txt
• ProOneEthernetConfig.txt
NOTE
In older installations didapi files are located in the Dimaxis folder
C:\ProgramFiles\Planmeca\Dimaxis\Program.
Edit the Ethernet configuration file of the respective X-ray device in order to map X-ray
devices to Terminal Server client workstations.
As a terminal server client workstation name one can use either COMPUTERNAME or
CLIENTNAME of the client workstation.
Computername and/or clientname can be seen in Windows command line: Windows Start
Menu --> Run.. --> Type in "cmd" --> In the command line, type in "set".
X-ray devices are mapped with their IP addresses.
E.g. a Terminal Server environment with three ProSensors (ip-addesses: 192.168.0.1,
192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3) and three Terminal Server clients (clientnames: xpprosensor1,
xpprosensor2, xpprosensor3) would be mapped to each other the following way in the
ProSensorEthernetConfig.txt file.
xpprosensor1=192.168.0.1
NOTE
Each terminal server client must have access to the Didapi folder and a working network
connection to the X-ray devices.

17 SETTING UP MS SQL SERVER 2012 EXPRESS BACKUP
17 SETTING UP MS SQL SERVER 2012 EXPRESS

BACKUP
17.1 Introduction
This section describes how to set up backups for Planmeca Romexis MS SQL Express by
means of a scheduled execution of a Stored Procedure using a batch file and Windows
Scheduled Tasks service. For backups on other database engines refer to their respective
documentation.
17.2 Configuration
When the Romexis installer deploys MS SQL Server onto the server computer, it also
creates a Stored Procedure in the Romexis instance that provides a facility to make
backups from the Romexis database, and transaction logs. To call the Stored Procedure a
set of two SQL scripts and a batch file is provided on the Romexis installation CD in the
\Tools\backup\ folder.
1. Copy the contents of the folder to an appropriate location such as:
C:\Program Files\Planmeca\Romexis\backup\
2. Modify the following file as instructed in the inline comments:
romexis_db_backup.sql (to configure database backup settings)
The following settings are provided in the file and should be adjusted to fit the local
backup needs. “1” denotes true while “0” denotes false:
• @backupfldr = ’c:\romexis_images’
Folder to write backup to, a subfolder 'romexis_db' is automatically created and
used. This must be changed to point to a safe location that is available for tape
backup.
• @reportfldr = 'c:\romexis_cache’
As above but defines location for writing reports of the backup process.
• @checkattrib = 1
Defines if new backups should have their archive bit set. The Stored Procedure
will automatically delete backups older than defined by dbretainunit UNLESS the
files have their archive bit set to true. If this is left at “1”, the old backups should
have their archive bit set to false when they are backed up to another media to
prevent the file system from being filled with backups.
• @dbretainunit = 'months'
Defines the period for which the backups should be preserved before automatic
deletion. Can be: minutes | hours | days | weeks | months | copies.
• @dbretainval = 2
Specifies how many dbretain units to keep old backups.
• @rptretainunit = 'copies'
Defines the period for which to retain reports for. Can be: minutes | hours | days |
weeks | months | copies.
• @rptretainval = 30
Specifies how many rptretainunits to keep reports.
• @report = 1
Flag to indicate whether to generate reports or not.

17.3 Setting up scheduled backup
NOTE
Remember to test the backup functionality after creating the task.
Use the Windows Scheduled Tasks service to setup a daily backup event as follows.
1. Open Control Panel.
2. Open Scheduled Tasks.
3. Double-click Add Scheduled Task to create a new task or on Windows 7 click Create
Basic Task..
4. Proceed with the Scheduled Task Wizard and choose Browse to select the program.
Browse to run_romexis_backups.bat that you have copied to an appropriate
location. (e.g. C:\Program Files\Planmeca\Romexis\backup\).
On Windows 7 additionally add the path to the backup script folder to the field Start in
(optional).

5. On Windows 7 after creation of the task, go to Task properties and check the Run with
highest privileges option.
6. Select the appropriate operating system in the Configure for drop-down menu.
7. From the Perform this task options select Daily.
8. Specify a convenient Start time to run the backups, such as after midnight when there
is no other activity.
9. Click Next and specify a user and password to run the backups under.
This is preferably a local backup account that has limited permissions. It should also
be a persistent account since if the account is removed the backups will stop working.
10. Check the configuration and click Finish.
11. Double-click on the Task you just created to double check the configuration.

12. Right-click on the Task and choose Run to test the functionality of your setup.

Appendix A: PMBRIDGE
CONFIGURATION
To support other software companies and their developers to integrate their software,
Planmeca has created interface standards and libraries.
Pmbridge interface provides a simple way of data transfer between Planmeca Romexis
and practice management software of another company. Pmbridge functions as a "bridge"
and passes necessary patient information to Planmeca Romexis imaging software and
images from Planmeca Romexis to the third party software.
For integrators who do not need image transition from Planmeca Romexis to practice
management software a lighter solution called DxStart is also available .
A.1 Windows Registry additions

The following path is added as following Windows registry entities' values:

According to Pmbridge SDK instructions, practice management software has to add the
folder 'Program' to the path obtained from registry. That is why the complete path is not
found from the registry.
NOTE
Pmbridge installation updates the Dimaxis.exe registry key to point to Romexis pmbridge
folder. This disables Pmbridge use with Dimaxis. If pmbridge is still desired to be used with
Dimaxis, the respective registry key should be changed to point to Dimaxis pmbridge folder.
A.2 Windows Environment Variable additions

The following path is added to Windows Environment variable Path:
C:\Program Files\Planmeca\Romexis\pmbridge\Program
A.3 Users
Pmbridge user group permissions can be altered to pmbridge user needs in Planmeca
Romexis Admin Module. For more information see Planmeca Romexis User’s manual.¨
The Romexis installer creates a user group Pmbridge Users and a user Pmbridge to
Planmeca Romexis database. When starting Planmeca Romexis via pmbridge, the
respected user is automatically selected (Romexis.bat file's parameters uid (user id)
and pwd (password) found from the pmbridge installation folder).

the client wants to change from one operating system to another or merge two different
databases together.
NOTE
Refer to Romexis installation manual for MacOS when transferring database from / to a
Planmeca Romexis software on MacOS.
NOTE
The source and destination databases need to be updated to the same Planmeca Romexis
software version.
NOTE
It is highly recommended to backup the original database(s) before using the Database
tool.
NOTE
If the Implant Library has been installed to either of the databases (source or target) install
the newest Implant Library to the target database after merging the source database into
an existing database.
C.1 Exporting files from one database to another

NOTE
Before starting shut down Planmeca Romexis server, it is recommended to shut down other
processes and executable files not needed to ensure the database tool has sufficient
amount of free memory.
1. Go to the Planmeca Romexis installation DVD /tools/database_tool/ folder.

2. Start Romexis Service for Database tool by launching the following script:

move the database to another system (if the folder is not there already).
8. Copy the Romexis image file folders into the same folder with the *.serial files:
c:\romexis_cache
c:\romexis_ergodata
c:\romexis_images
NOTE
The database transfer tool renames imported duplicate usernames and device names.
NOTE
A statistics window is shown at the end of a merge/import and an export. This page shows
the amount of exported or imported lines in each table. Also renamed duplicate user names
and duplicate device names are listed.
C.2 Importing database from one location to the other

Make a new Planmeca Romexis installation under the same version that was in use when
exporting the data.
Attach the media to the target system.
NOTE
Before starting make sure Romexis server is NOT running.
If merging two databases together start from step 3 on page 96.

C.2 Importing database from one location to the otherAppendix C: TRANSFERRING / MERGING DATABAS-

Appendix D: ROMEXIS SILENT
INSTALLATION
Identical Romexis installations can be performed to several workstations using the silent
installation option. Carry out the following steps for Romexis silent installation.
1. Start windows command prompt with administrator privileges.

2. To record your installation, run Romexis setup executable from installation media with
the following command (enter the whole command to the same line):
E:\Romexis\setup.exe /r
/f1"<PATH_TO_RECORD_FILE>\romexis_installation.iss"
Replace <PATH_TO_RECORD> with a file path name you wish to save the result
record file.
If f1 parameter is not set, the record file will be saved by default to folder and with
filename:
C:\Windows\setup.iss
3. Perform the Romexis installation following the installation dialogs normally.
Follow the installation instructions given earlier in this manual.
4. After successful installation, copy the romexis_installation.iss record file to
another workstation or a portable drive.
5. To perform the installation with the exact same configurations on another workstation,
enter the following command via command prompt with administrator privileges (enter
the whole command to the same line):
E:\Romexis\setup.exe /s /SMS
/f1"<PATH_TO_RECORD_FILE>romexis_installation.iss"
Replace the <PATH_TO_RECORD_FILE> with the path you saved the record file.
The installation starts silently. You can monitor when the installation is finished with
Windows Task Manager. If any InstallShield processes are running, the installation is
still running.
NOTE
Make sure that all the workstations you are installing the Romexis meet the requirements
set in the beginning of this manual (e.g. required .NET frameworks etc.).
NOTE
Additional dialogs may appear if the previous Romexis installations in the workstation
differs from the workstation the recording was made. Dialogs may also appear if device
drivers, e.g. for ProSensor or ProScanner are included in to the installation.
