Accessing GPC via an AEROS Log in

Once your practice migrates to the AEROS system (a remote server) you no longer have a GPC workstation at your practice.

All of the work your GPC machine used to do, is now done via a specific AEROS log in called an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) log in.

The EDI Log in can be used from any workstation. As you can have two AEROS sessions running from one machine, you can be logged in as you and as EDI at the same time.

When you log into EDI, all the messages that you used to receive via the GPC machine are received and processed into your system, for example Pathology results, Docman etc.

It is therefore vital that you designate a member of staff to log into AEROS with the EDI log in first thing every morning. It should then be left logged in until the end of business each day to ensure the timely receipt of messages.

To log into your EDI account:

  1. Switch on your workstation.
  2. If necessary, log into Windows in the usual way to display your desktop.
  3. Double click on the INPS_Vision_AEROS.RDP icon .

    Note - Please be aware the INPS_Vision_AEROS.RDP icon may display on your desktop as .

  4. The Log On to Windows screen displays.
  5. Complete as follows:
    • User name - INPSNHS/nnnnn.EDI (where nnnnn is your user number) or the alternative log in provided by your Vision Engineer
    • Password - Enter the password you have been allocated by your Vision Engineer
  6. Select OK.
  7. Your EDI AEROS desktop is now displayed.
  8. Double click Mail Gateway Mail Gateway Icon to enable your clinical scheduler to run. This ensures your mail is processed through to Vision.
  9. Log in to Vision in the usual way if required.
  10. Minimise the EDI Log in using the - on the AEROS ribbon:

    Remember - You can log into the same machine with your own AEROS log in whilst EDI is running.
