Example:  If the EchoPAC PC name is  ECHOPAC7-987654, the Corresponding sql.ini name  will be ECHOPAC7-
987654 DB.
16.) Change the  Placement of Image Files  and Placement of Report Files  names so they reflect the 
name of the EchoPAC  PC Workstation. 
Example:  If the EchoPAC PC name is  ECHOPAC7-987654, the Placement of Image Files  and Placement of 
Report Files  are both ECHOPAC7-987654\Archive.
This completes the EchoPAC PC connection setup. 
NOTE: Remember that these settings have no effect  until you have logged on to the dataflow. 
It may be necessary to log on and log off  this dataflow before the settings work.

3-11-9-1 Introduction
The procedures below tell you how to set up the Vivid 7 workstation so it can connect to the Hospital 
Information System (HIS), via th e Vivid HL7 Gateway. By connec ting to the HIS, demographic 
information i.e Patient ID, Name, Gender etc. can  be pulled from the HIS, reducing “double-work” and 
typing errors. Patient Reports can be sent back to the  HIS for storage together with the rest of the Patient 
Records.
3-11-9-2 Preparations 1.) Before you can set up the HL 7 Communicat ion, you need to collect some information. 
- The IP address for  the Vivid HL7 Gateway
- Port Number used by the Vivid HL7 Gateway (Default port: 3320)
Typical source for this  information is the Mitra support personnel.
Figure 2-2 Pre-quote Wo rksheet for DICOM Network  Information on page 2-14 can be used for 
gathering this information.
2.) Provide the computer name of  each EchoPAC PC Workstation and  Vivid 7 being configured to the 
Mitra support personnel.

3-11-9-3      Configuration of  Modality Worklist Services (cont’d)
Test Connectivity with the Vivid HL7 Gateway
The purpose of this test is to verify that the  Vivid 7 has connectivity with the Vivid HL7 Gateway.
1.) From either the Current or Dataflow view, expand the Dataflow incorporating the Gateway Modality  Worklist service.
2.) Expand the Gateway destination device.
3.) Select the Gateway Modality Worklist service. 
4.) Select the Check button. - If connectivity was achieved, then there should  be a green check next to the name of the 
Gateways Modality Worklist service.
- If connectivity was not achieved, then there will  be a red X next to the name of the Gateways 
Modality Worklist service.
NOTE: If the Check button fails directly, the AE Title is probably wrong. If the Check button fails after a long time (corres ponding to the timeout), the IP address or Port 
Number is probably wrong.
Troubleshoot Connectivity with the Gateway
Typical causes if connection between Vivid 7 and HIS failed:
1.) No network connection.
2.) IP address and/or port number was incorrectly entered when configuring the Gateway Modality  Worklist service.
3.) Mitra support personnel have  not configured the Gateway yet to accept Modality Worklist queries 
from the Vivid 7.
4.) Verify that the Vivid 7 computer name matc hes the value specified for the Gateway Modality 
Worklist service and that it also matches the  value supplied to the Mitra support personnel.
Configure the Export to HL7 Path
1.) Enter the configuration  screen for the EchoPAC PC. 
2.) Press the Connectivity button. 
3.) Select the Tools tab.
4.) In the section labeled Export Paths, make the following changes:
a.) For the Export To HL7 path,  enter the following information:
\\ < Name or IP Address of  the Vivid HL7 Gateway>\POLL_DIR
Example:  \\Gateway\POLL_DIR
b.) Verify that Text is select  for the Export file format.
