Database Optimization
In order to optimize the performance of Cirrus 4.0 with data collected using previous Cirrus
versions, you will need to run the database optimization tool. Successful execution of this
database optimization tool:
• Improves performance during analysis (primarily GPA and Macular Change) by
creating and saving OCT fundus images for existing exams and adding signal strength
values to the index database.
• Creates missing patient IDs for successful DICOM connectivity.
• Allows import and analysis of Cirrus 1.0 and 1.1 exported data by correcting the
compression flag of LSO DICOM images.

☞ Note: Depending upon the size of your database, this installation process could take
a few hours. During this time you will not be able to run Cirrus 4.0 until optimization
is complete.
Following Cirrus 4.0 installation, click on Database Optimization Tool, as shown below in
Figure 13.
Or, go to Start > All Programs > Carl Zeiss Meditec > Cirrus HD-OCT > Database
Optimization Tool.

Cirrus 4.0 Review Installation and Use

This section provides instructions to install, configure and use version 4.0 of Cirrus™
HD-OCT Review Software (Cirrus Review).

☞ Note: Plan and allow sufficient time for installation and configuration. Installation
may require up to 10 minutes, but configuration time varies depending if you
already have Microsoft.NET 2.0 software already installed on the review station
computer, and on your understanding of your particular network and your
familiarity with networking in general. These instructions are written to enable any
user to successfully connect their review station computer to the server hosting the
Cirrus database; however, for ease of configuration, we recommend that you consult
with personnel who may have advanced or expert knowledge of networking and
your particular network, such as your network or system administrator.

Notes on Licensing
Register License on the Cirrus Instrument
☞ Note: Cirrus Review must be licensed—but not installed—on the Cirrus HD-OCT
instrument, which will then act as a server for any number of review stations
(desktop or notebook PCs where you install the Cirrus Review software). For license
registration instructions, see License Registration starting on page 16. You may
use a single Cirrus Review installation CD to install it on multiple computer systems.
In this way, a single Cirrus Review license supports access from any number of review
stations to a single Cirrus HD-OCT instrument database. To access the database of each
additional Cirrus HD-OCT instrument requires registration of an additional license on each
instrument, which then can be accessed by every review station that points to its database.

☞ Note: Each review station can point to only one Cirrus instrument database at a
time, but you can switch between different instrument databases through Cirrus
Review. For instructions, see Switch Between Instrument Databases on page
42.

Review Stations Inherit Licenses from Instrument

☞ Note: Every review station computer inherits the licenses of the Cirrus HD-OCT
instrument whose database it is currently accessing. Therefore, be aware that when
you switch between databases of different Cirrus instruments, it is possible that
different optional features may be available for review and analysis.

No Cirrus Database Found

One example is the following (Figure 44).

Figure 44 Specified folder invalid message

If this appears, it means there is not a Cirrus database (zdb.ib file) in the folder you have
mapped to. Either the incorrect folder on the Cirrus instrument was shared or you did not
map to the shared database folder.
When you click OK, the Browse for Folder dialog (Figure 42) appears, enabling you to
select a valid Cirrus database that you have mapped to. If none is available, click Cancel in
the Browse for Folder dialog, and then click Shut Down in the application to exit and repair
the problem.

Insufficient Privileges
If you are logging on with a user name that has insufficient privileges to access the shared

• Grant your user name full control to the shared database folder (see Share the
Database Folder on page 16), or
• Log on to the review station computer or to the shared folder with a user name that
already has full control access to the shared folder. You may have to disconnect from
the network drive that was mapped on the review station, and then remap the drive
using the “connect using a different user name” option (see Map a Drive Letter to
the Shared Database Folder on page 17).

Review Software not Licensed

If the Review Software feature was not licensed in the instrument, a message will be
displayed as shown below (Figure 46):

Figure 46 Review Software not licensed message

When you click Yes, the Browse for Folder dialog (Figure 42) appears, enabling you to
select a Cirrus database from an instrument with a valid Review Software license. If none is
available, click Cancel in the Browse for Folder dialog, and then click Shut Down in the
application to exit and repair the problem. To repair the problem, either:
• License the Review Software feature on the instrument you are trying to connect to
(see License Registration on page 18), or
• Connect to another instrument that has already been licensed.

Database (Connection) Failure

The following dialog appears when connection to the database fails (Figure 47).

Figure 47 Database connection failure

If this message appears, it means two things:
• You are attempting to connect to a shared folder that contains a valid Cirrus
database.
• You are attempting to connect with a user name that has full control access to the
shared database folder.
Thus, in this scenario, you know that the two preceding error conditions (No Cirrus
Database Found, page 34 and Insufficient Privileges, page 34) do not apply.
Instead, some difficulty in the network is preventing a connection, which may be due to
heavy traffic or to some other network configuration error.
Here we cover two reasons, based on network configuration errors, that may explain this
failure:
• Connection Failure Due to Firewall Blocking, page 36
• Connection Failure Due to Unavailable Port, page 36

Cirrus Review Software Version 4.0 Installation and Use 2660021131602 A

36 Cirrus 4.0 Review Installation and Use

When the message in Figure 47 appears, we recommend you click No and then Shut
Down to exit the application and attempt to repair the problem using the instructions
supplied below for these two scenarios. The first scenario is more likely, as you may have
missed a step in the configuration. The second scenario is much more rare.

Connection Failure Due to Firewall Blocking

In this scenario, the Windows Firewall running on the Cirrus instrument blocked
connection to the Cirrus instrument database by the InterBase Server program
(IBServer.exe). To correct this failure, follow the instructions under Unblock InterBase
Server (see page 17) to allow the InterBase Server program to bypass the Windows
firewall running on the Cirrus HD-OCT instrument.

Connection Failure Due to Unavailable Port

The InterBase Server program uses port 3051 to communicate between the Cirrus
instrument and review stations. In rare cases, port 3051 may be blocked or in use by
another program. In this scenario, contact an IT professional to assist you to make
available port 3051 on both the review station computer and the target Cirrus instrument,
or to assign a different port (number) for communication on both the review station
computer and the target Cirrus instrument.
To view and adjust the port assignment for the InterBase Server program, use a text editor
(for example, Notepad) to open the file named services (no file extension) found in the
following path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc (Figure 48).

Figure 48 services file open in Notepad

The port associated with InterBase Server program is specified in the line that starts with
czm_db. Make sure that you assign the same number on the Cirrus instrument and the
review station computer.

Loss of Database Connection in Windows Vista

If you are using Windows Vista you may experience frequent loss of connection after
logging into the Review Software. To correct this problem:

Cirrus Review Software Version 4.0 Installation and Use 2660021131602 A

Figure 51 Uncheck Internet Protocol Version 6

Cirrus Review Software Version 4.0 Installation and Use 2660021131602 A

 Cirrus 4.0 Review Installation and Use 39

Port Blocked By TCP/IP Filtering

Another possibility is that port 3051 or another port is assigned correctly on both the Cirrus
instrument and the review station computer, but the assigned port is blocked by TCP/IP
filtering. In this scenario, you must either turn off TCP/IP filtering (make sure the Permit All
radio button is selected above TCP Ports), or add port 3051 (or another assigned port) to
the list of permitted ports when the Permit Only radio button is selected.

Figure 52 Accessing TCP/IP Filtering

To access the TCP/IP Filtering dialog (Figure 52), select Start > Control Panel > Network
Connections, right-click Local Area Connection and select Properties. On the General tab of
the Local Area Connection Properties dialog, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the list
and click Properties. On the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog, click Advanced. On
the Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog, select the Options tab, select TCP/IP filtering and click
Properties. This opens the TCP/IP Filtering dialog.

Unable to Retrieve Data from a Windows Vista PC

In some networking environments, if you are using a PC with Windows Vista OS the
following error message may occur when trying to access archived data from the Review
Station Computer (Figure 57):

Figure 57 Retrieval error message

If this occurs, it may be necessary to map a drive on the Review Station to the archive
volume network location and set share permissions. See Steps 1. through 12. in Share the
Database Folder and Steps 1. through 4. in Map a Drive Letter to the Shared
Database Folder.

Tip for Slow Performance

If the Cirrus Review application performance seems excessively slow, you may be able to
improve performance by mapping the network drive using the IP address rather than the
computer name. See Map a Drive Letter to the Shared Database Folder on page
17.

Final Troubleshooting Tips

If you have attempted the foregoing procedures and still are unable to successfully launch
Cirrus Review Software, try the following:
• Make sure the target Cirrus instrument is on and connected to the network.
• Go over these instructions and check that you have performed all steps correctly.
• Seek the assistance of an IT professional, especially your own network or system
administrator who has specialized knowledge of your network.
