Note: that Physio-Control Inc. does not support the Windows 7 Operating System. Contact both Physio-Control, Inc and RAM Software Systems about the use of the Defib/Monitor and/or Interface on your machines.

We require the use of laser printers with our products. We further recommend the use of a drawer-fed laser printer, which feeds the paper from a drawer, as opposed to a vertical top feed bin. We highly recommend Hewlett Packard LaserJet Printers. Laser printers give a higher quality output and are generally faster than most dot matrix printers are. This is especially true for the printing of billing forms, which are pre-aligned for HP LaserJet printers.

RAM Software Systems does not provide system hardware or network installation and support. We highly recommend the use of a Microsoft Certified System Engineer (MCSE) to assist with the installation, configuration, and testing of all hardware and network software including the SQL database. The Aim System should only be installed on Express, Standard, or Enterprise versions of SQL Server

There are two versions of The AIM System the Desktop Version and the Enterprise Version. The Desktop Version is designed to run on SQL Server Express and is designed for small businesses with up to five concurrent users and databases that are up to 4-gigabytes in size. The Enterprise Version is designed to run on the full version of SQL Server with unlimited concurrent users and database size.

A SQL based database server has advantages over traditional LAN based systems through its design as a "fault tolerant" system - all reading and writing of data files occurs on the server under controlled conditions. Having an SQL database also optimizes performance among users so they can experience uniform high-speed performance - no more system slowdowns at the end of reporting periods.

The AIM System utilizes Microsoft's SQL Server database format to insure that your investment in The AIM System is for the long term.

• Desktop Version

The Desktop Version is designed for SQL Server Express and SQL Express is installed by the installation so, a pre installation of SQL Express is not needed. SQL Express is designed for small businesses that desire the stability and speed of an SQL database without incurring the expense of supporting a full SQL Server environment.

The AIM System – Desktop Version has the same look, ease of use, and number of modules as the Enterprise Version, so a company can seamlessly transition from one to the other without the need for retraining.

• Enterprise Version

The Enterprise Version includes all the benefits of the SQL Express version but is designed for medium to large sized businesses. It has the ability to accommodate hundreds of simultaneous users. There is also no built-in limit to the size of your database – it is only limited by the size of your server's hard disks, eliminating the concern to archive excessive records.

The use of SQL Server Standard or Enterprise provides greater flexibility with database backups, security, business intelligence, and performance optimizations.

ALERT: If you have enabled Windows Firewall or another 3rd party firewall, contact your IT administrator for proper configuration to enable incoming network connections.
