AEGIS, DICOM, and Networking Configurations

EDIT: basically i haven't had much time to add information on this, so i'm just going to paste what i've written up in the past.

Code + V + Test takes you to the CSR menu, where you can enter DICOM/Networking
information. You will have to scroll down using the trackball, till you reach
a second page, with 3 options.

Go to:
AEGIS Configuration:
        Enable: Networked
        Machine Name: Aspen AE title (used in Network Configuration)
        Machine IP: defined by network technician (used in Network Configuration)

Don’t bother with the rest of the information, it is not necessary unless you want to define where the images are being sent. (folder/subfolder)

Press Exit to save information.

Code + V + Test to return you to the CSR menu.

Go to:
DICOM Configuration:
    Remote Servers: (should be selected first)
        Server Name: DICOM server AE title
        Host IP Address: DICOM server IP address
        TCP Port: Network Port #
        Server Called AE: DICOM server AE title

Press the "Add" soft key, and the "Save" soft key. Configuration will save.

If installing a printer:
Mouse over "Printers", and use a soft key (near trackball) to select.
    Printer:
        Printer Name: network printer
        Host IP Address: network printer host IP
        TCP Port: network port #
        Server Called AE: network printer name/AE title
        Printer Type: select type (other, agfa, etc)
        Edit Formats: setup 3x3, 1x1, 2x1, etc

Press the "Add" soft key, and the "Save" soft key. Configuration will save.

TURN SYSTEM OFF AFTER YOU PRESS “IMAGE”. Reboot after 10-15 seconds.

After Boot up:
Code + V + Test will return you to the CSR menu.

Go to:
Network Configuration:
    TCP Configuration: "aspen information section"
        Location Name: aspen AE or whatever you want
        Host Name: Aspen AE title
        Host IP Address: Aspen IP assigned by tech
        Net mask: subnet mask assigned by tech
        Router: router IP assigned by tech if necessary
   
    DICOM Config:
        TCP Port: Aspen TCP port #
        AE Name: Aspen AE title

Press the "Add" soft key and the "Save" soft key, let it save. The machine will prompt a shutdown/restart. Press the power button, let it shut off completely, and then power the system on.

After boot-up, enter the "Setup" menu (top of keyboard, near middle "data pos" in blue)

Go to:
AEGIS: System Wide Functions
    Location Name - verify the name of the network configuration in this box.

Mouse over "Define Printers", and use a trackball soft key to select.
    Network B&W Printer: mouse over BW MO, and press trackball soft key - select network     printer name
…or
    Network Color Printer: mouse over Color MO, and press trackball soft key - select     network printer name

Change custom options to how you want them.

Press the "prior menu" soft key.

Select "Define Servers", and use a trackball soft key to select.
    Storage Server 1: mouse over "None" and press a trackball soft key - select DICOM     server

Exit out of the setups menu, Code + V + Test to access the CSR menu, go to "DICOM Configuration", and press the Echo Test soft key to see if the machine is able to contact and communicate with the DICOM server.

If you see a message that says "DICOMSERVER (your DICOM server name) available" everything’s set up and working properly.

If you see a message that says "Echo Test ... DICOMSERVER not available", which means we need to go back through some steps, and make sure everything’s entered correctly.

…or check the DICOM server, and the connections along the way to make sure everything’s synching up nicely.
