Images are first saved on the local image buffer on the scanner. At the end of the examination the images are sent to the DICOM server via a DICOM spooler and to the local database, depending on dataflows. This scenario requires that the scanner is configur ed to be connected to DICOM servers as described below. 3-9-14-1 Overview To connect to the DICOM server, the following information has to be entered in the scanner: • The DICOM server IP address. • The DICOM server port number. • The DICOM server AE title (the server application’s name). • Name of Device. 3-9-14-2 DICOM Server IP Address Setting on the Scanner 1.) Press CONFIG (F2) and log on as adm, see 4-2-4 Log On to the System as ‘ADM’ on page 4-12 . 2.) Select CONNECTIVITY (in the lower part of the window). 3.) Select the DATAFLOW tab. 4.)

Select the “Smiley” button to Ping the server. NOTE: The smiley checks if the remote server is accessible (ping). It is not a DICOM Echo (DICOM ping), so it does not check AE title or port number. 2.) If the network connection to the server is OK, it will be illustrated by a smiling “Smiley” . A sad Smiley indicates that the network connection is failing. Typical causes: - Network cable not connected. - Configuration error(s). 3-9-14-4 Verify the Connection to a Device 1.) Select (highlight) the device you want to verify the connection to. NOTE: You can only check one device at a time. 2.) Select Check to start the verification process of the connection to the device. The verification process may use some amount of time (several seconds). When done, a Warning may be displayed on screen for some seconds.

If the Check button fails after a long time (corres ponding to the timeout), the IP address or Port Number is probably wrong. In the illustration below, the mess age indicates that the pinging of the server worked fine (line 1), but the application on the server didn’t respond (line 2). Figure 3-61 Warning - Check status Figure 3-62 Verification result A green check-mark indicates that the test passed. A red cross, as illustrated, indicates that the connection failed.
