Hi,
We are implementing OpenEMR at a clinic in India.
We want to have access at 4 points (laptops and desktops) throughout the clinic.
The central server will be a linux server with wireless networking through an access point.
The server will carry the openemr installation.
The laptops and desktops throughout hte clinic will have wifi client cards to connect wirelessly to the central system. They will be for the receptionist, doctors etc respectively.
The clients will have either windows or linux running as OS.
Can anyone suggest how I should go about this and what all I will require?
Any issues I will have to deal with?
If this works, I can get more clinics in INDIA to install OpenEMR. WIll keep forum updated.
Thanks
What you want to do is perfectly normal and reasonable. However it works better to ask questions that are more specific, and probably in the "Help" forum.
You are not including other info such as distance to cover and whether or not you already have equipment.
For a basic setting any wireless access point that includes a switch (for the desktops) will do it for the whole network. Be sure to at least configure a wep key. A cheap device such as a linksys will work but you’ll need to reboot it once in a while.
For an advanced setting (there’s no hipaa though in India I guess) a little swith plus something like a Cisco 1100 access point that you can configure with RADIUS (freeRADIUS on the Linux server), WAP, and mac address security.
For the linux laptops be sure to research beforehand for wifi chipsets supported.
