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.
