2. Select Administrator > Status Bar.
3. Ensure Network connection is selected.
4. When using a wireless network, ensure Wireless signal strength is selected.
5. Select OK to accept the changes and exit or Cancel to exit without saving.
8.2.1 Gathering Relevant DICOM Information
Contact the IT department to obtain the information detailed in 8.2.1.1, 8.2.1.2, and 8.2.1.3.
8.2.1.1 Local Network
If the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is not enabled, the following details are required:
• IP Address
• Subnet Mask
• Gateway
• DNS Server Address(es).
8.2.1.2 DICOM SCU
The following details are required for the local Application Entity (i.e., DICOM client-side):
• Station Name
• AE Title.
8.2.1.3 DICOM SCP
Obtain the DICOM SCP details listed below for each of the following: DICOM Store Service, Storage
Commitment Service, Print Service, Basic Worklist Management Service and MPPS Service.
• AE Title
• Hostname/IP Address
• Port Number.
Note: Because network speed is tied to available signal strength, when using a wireless network connection
Ultrasonix recommends a minimum of 50% signal strength.
It is not possible to proceed if signal strength=0%. When this occurs, it may be necessary to move the system
to a different location in order to access the wireless network.
Note: In most cases, this information is configurable and does not require institutional approval. However, if the
DICOM SCP recognizes only registered
AE Titles, then use a designated AE Title provided by the IT
department. As an alternative, ensure the required AE Title is entered into the institution’s system.
Note: The details for these three items could be different for Service.
