Configuring a PACS Archive Provider (PAP)
Some sites may want to have their studies mirrored at another site through PACS Store and Remember
archiving. This mirroring protects against loss of data and allows studies at one PACS to be viewed at
another. This can be achieved effectively using the PACS Archive Provider (PAP).
A PACS Archive Provider (PAP) acts like a Service Class Provider (SCP) by receiving studies. However,
it differs from an SCP in that the PAP can automatically register a study as PACS archived if the study
originates from a source that the PACS stores to and remembers from, without having to queue the
study for archiving back to the source. Also, the PAP can parse the private tags of the incoming DICOM
objects to determine the objects' HIS verification and study status. This eliminates the need to HIS
verify a study a second time or to add the incoming study to a radiologist's worklist.
To configure automatic archiving of studies by the PAP
1. Configure a source to send to the PAP component, which listens on port 9104.
2. On the PACS that contains the PAP, configure PACS Store and Remember archiving. Refer to
Configuring PACS Store and Remember archiving (refer to page 22).
3. Configure the remote AEs which belong to the PACS that the PACS Store and Remember archive
stores to and remembers from.
