Identifying remote PACS in IMPAX
This topic applies only to a dedicated Database Server.
When installing a new IMPAX 6.3 cluster, the database is automatically updated with the details for
all Archive Server, Network Gateway, Curator, and CD Export server components within the cluster.
These do not have to be configured as stations in Network Management.
By contrast, any PACS systems external to the IMPAX cluster must be added as stations using Network
Management in the Administration Tools.
Note:
To identify an older IMPAX system as a remote PACS, add its Network Gateway.
Follow these instructions for each external PACS that IMPAX 6.3 can communicate with.
To set up a station in the Administration Tools
1. On the Setup tab, click Network Management.
2. Click New.
3. Type the AE Title, Alias, and Host of the station.
4. Switch to the Capabilities tab.
5. Under Station Type, select PACS.
6. Select the appropriate permissions for the station and server communication.
For details, refer to "Defining types of communication between stations and the Server" (article
ID 9000) in the Administration Tools component of the IMPAX 6.3 Server Knowledge Base.
7. Clear the Send/Receive LEI only checkbox.
Note:
In most cases clearing this setting is preferred; however, some systems may have trouble
negotiating compression algorithms and may need the LEI only negotiation. Refer to the
documentation that accompanies your external PACS. This setting is ignored for older versions
of IMPAX, because the IMPAX systems negotiate with a proprietary dialog.
8. Click Save.
Tip:
For more information on adding stations, refer to the Administration Tools component of the IMPAX
6.3 Server Knowledge Base .
