  6. Select the Location and Authentication tab, and enter your Location ID and a unique password. These will have been sent to you by Medicare.
  7. In the Crypto Store Location field enter the store location directory. Ensure you have selected the medicare australia.psi file and the C:\Program Files\MEDICARE AUSTRALIA\PKI\ directory is displayed as the Store Location, providing C:\ is your local system directory/drive.
  8. Enter the PSI Store password that you created in the previous step and click Save. If you have installed Bluechip onto a server/network, enter or browse for either:"X:\Program Files\Medicare Australia\PKI\" where X is the letter of the relevant mapped network drive on which you created the PSI Store, or"\\SERVER\Program Files\Medicare Australia\PKI\" where SERVER is the name of the computer on which you created the PSI Store is located (indicated in the previous step as the "Store Location), and assuming that Program Files is a share on the Server. On the Medicare Australia System tab, enter the Server and Recipient settings as follows:"www2.medicareaustralia.gov.au/pext" is entered as the "Medicare Australia Server" and"ebus@medicareaustralia.gov.au" is entered as the "Medicare Australia Recipient".

    • \\SERVER\Program Files\Medicare\PKI\ where SERVER is the name of the computer on which you created the PSI Store is located (indicated in the previous step as the "Store Location), and assuming that Program Files is a share on the Server.
      On the Medicare System tab:
