Introduction


The Apteryx bridge in LiveDDM is used by a variety of dental imaging software packages that have re-branded it.  However, under the hood they are still using Apteryx.  Follow the steps below to configure the bridge.


Steps

  1. Ensure that LiveDDM is installed on the Workstation.  Apteryx runs off of the server, so it doesn't need be installed on the Workstation.
  2. In LiveDDM, go to User -> Terminal Settings -> Imaging Tab
  3. In the drop down, pick Apteryx for the imaging bridge
  4. Select Browse.   In the browse dialog, go to Network and find the Server that is running the imaging software. 
  5. Next,  find the share for Apteryx/Cliniview/Dentimax and browse inside of it.  
  6. Locate and select the EXE for the imaging program.


Testing the Bridge


You can test the bridge by right-clicking on any appointment and selecting Launch Apteryx. Alternatively, you can also test the bridge from the Patient window.  Select a Patient and  then click the bridge icon on the tool bar.
