Voluson™ P8/Voluson™P6 + PC (with 4D View Software) within a “Sneaker Net”
A PC (one or several with 4D View software installed) is used for review and work on studies acquired
on one or more Voluson™ P8/Voluson™P6 System without being connected in a network.
The images are first stored on the Voluson™ P8/Voluson™P6 System ’s hard drive (Archive) and then
exported from the System ’s hard drive to a sneaker device (e.g., DVD/CD), and finally imported from
the sneaker device to the “4D View” PC’s internal hard drive.
For Image Management functionality refer to the Basic User Manual of the Voluson™ P8/Voluson™P6.
Physical Connection:
No network connection needed.

Connection between Voluson™ P8/Voluson™P6 and DICOM Server
In this configuration, the Voluson™ P8/Voluson™P6 is configured to work with a DICOM server in a
network environment. Usually, this will be the hospital network. Images are first saved on the local
image buffer on the System . At the end of the examination, the images are sent to the DICOM server
via a DICOM spooler. This scenario requires that the System is configured to be connected to the
DICOM server.
Physical Connection:
You will need one network cable.
1.) Connect one end of the cable to the Ethernet connector on the Voluson® P8 / Voluson® P6.
2.) Connect the other end of the cable to the wall outlet.
NOTE:
If a Peer-to-Peer Network is connected to the hospital’s network, you may connect the
Voluson™ P8/Voluson™P6 to the Peer-to-Peer Network.
