Interactive Support

When you need some support, we can be "there" to help!   We can either have a remote session using pcAnywhere32 or GoToAssist.   Please read about both approaches, with the necessary instructions to follow  To assist in this process, we STRONGLY recommend downloading and installing Skype.  This tool will allow online chatting with our support team, so your phones are not tied up.

This procedure is used to set up your system in order for BWCi to access your data and for communicating details over the Internet using PcAnywhere32 or GoToAssist. Obviously, this procedure presumes you have Internet access.

pcAnywhere

GoToAssist

We will have installed and configured pcAnywhere on one of the workstations at the hospital.  Please verify which workstation, and check to see if pcAnywhere Host is waiting.  The applet icon shown below (the one on the left) shows that pcAnywhere is waiting for a connection.  The applet icon next to the clock indicates that GoToAssist is also waiting for a connection (configured in the "Unattended Support" option).

pcAnywhere Host Waiting

If you don't see that applet icon, double-click on the BWC Internet Access icon on the desktop (or go to Start Programs BWC). You should see the pcAnywhere icon (shown above) next to the clock.  If there is no icon, try double-click on the Internet Access icon. 

If you get disconnected from the net, you must double-click on the pcAnywhere icon next to the clock (shown above), then click on the CANCEL button on the 'pcAnywhere waiting' window.  Follow these steps to re-establish the remote session:

1. Reconnect to the net.

2. Once connected, the ICQ flower should reappear, then turn green.  If you get an error that ICQ could not connect to the server, or the flower remains red, right-click on the ICQ flower, then go to Status/My Status, then click on Available/Connect.  It should appear green shortly thereafter.

3. Double-click on the BWC Internet Access Icon.

We can use GoToAssist to access any workstation at your hospital, with your permission, and setup.

  1. Call our office to initiate the remote session.  Please describe the improvements or customizations needed, and what workstation you are at.
  2. Open Internet Explorer and go to our website, www.bwci.com
  3. Scroll to the bottom, and you will find the section, Remote Customization and Training
  4. Enter your name in the NAME field, and then enter the 9-digit number we provide in the SUPPORT KEY field.
  5. Click CONNECT NOW.
  6. Follow the instructions on the web, as the GoToAssist web application is downloaded and installed.  Please answer YES or ALLOW to the files that need to be downloaded.
  7. If there is a problem with the auto-configuration, click MANUALLY DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE.
  8. Once the application is running, you will need the message that the session is connecting, then answer YES to the "Allow Support Remote Session" question.
  9. That's it, as we can now work with you on that workstation.

Troubleshooting

  • If nothing happens for several minutes, keep checking for new e-mail (press the SEND/RECEIVE button). If we�re experiencing a problem, we will send an e-mail as soon as we receive your first e-mail.
  • If you get disconnected from your ISP (the RECONNECT button comes up), press the RECONNECT button. Once connected, you will need to send us your new IP address (a new one is assigned each time you connect to your ISP). Cancel the current 'pcAnywhere Waiting', then redo the procedure starting at Step 2.
