Remote host parameters

The Network function supports DICOM networking. When adding or updating a remote list, there are some new parameters needed. All of the following information, except for Comments, needs to be provided in order to set up a remote host:

• The Host name to be entered is the name of the device. If the device is DICOM, the name must match exactly to the name given to the device.
• The Network address of the device is a static IP address that is provided by the institution's network administrator.
• The Network protocol is DICOM. If the MR system will be sending to this device, the device must be DICOM and the DICOM network protocol must be selected.
• The Port number is unique to the device. If the device is an Advantage Windows workstation or another GE MR system, the number will be 4006.
• The AE Title is unique to the device. If the device is an Advantage Windows workstation or another GE Medical Systems system, the AE Title will be the same as the Host name.
• The Comment field allows you to input a comment.
• The Archive Node refers to the archiving responsibility of the device:
  • If Auto is selected, the MR system will automatically check to see if the device is a Storage Commitment Provider.
  • If Yes is selected, the device will be responsible for archiving images. When the device has received and saved the images, a notification message will be displayed on the scanner console and the Archive status for the exam will be “A” for archived.
  • If No is selected, the device will not be responsible for archiving.
  • Note: The device must be a Storage Commitment Provider in order for remote archive node to function.
• Access to the local host refers to the device's ability to access the MR system. Select Yes if you want the device to be able to send to and/or query the MR system.
• The Custom search feature enables the Custom search dialog box to be automatically displayed when you select receive from the remote browser. If Yes is selected, the feature is enabled. If No is selected, the Custom search dialog box will not automatically be displayed. You can, however, get to the search feature once the remote browser is displayed, by simply selecting Search, on the remote browser.
