installed on Application Servers and are
assigned to roles.
log file
A file or set of files containing a record of the
actions and modifications made in an
application. Service teams use log files during
setup and configuration of the system or its
components. Logs are also used to diagnose
problems. Logging can typically be set to
record varying levels of detail.
M
MAC address
Media Access Control address. The unique
physical address of each device’s network
interface card.
mixed-host configuration
In an IMPAX mixed-host configuration, an
AS3000 (Oracle) Database Server is combined
with AS300 Archive Server and Network
Gateway components. This configuration
combines the power of the Solaris-based
Database Server with the reduced cost of the
Windows-based servers for other components.
multi-host configuration
Server configuration in which the Database is
installed on a separate computer from the
Archive Server. Network Gateway may be
installed on yet another server, or it may be
installed along with the Database or Archive
Server (or both).
multiple IMPAX cluster configuration
In a multiple IMPAX cluster configuration,
an IMPAX cluster is linked to one or more
other IMPAX or external PACS clusters, such
that patient and study data can be shared and
synchronized between them.
MVF
The software framework used for the
development of IMPAX. Refers both generally
to the Agfa IMPAX PACS system and
specifically to the name of the IMPAX Server
database.
N
network
A group of computers, peripherals, or other
equipment connected to one another for the
purpose of passing information and sharing
resources. Networks can be local or remote.
Network Gateway
The Network Gateway is part of the IMPAX
MVF cluster. Essentially, this is the workflow
manager of the IMPAX 6.0 and later system.
The Network Gateway controls the studies
coming into the cluster from an acquisition
station, validates these incoming studies
against information from the HIS or RIS, and
routes the validated studies to cache or archive.
O
operations, IMPAX
The IMPAX actions allowed by a permission.
For example, operations include dictation,
printing to paper, and executing SQL
statements through CLUI. You can further
refine some operations by setting a study status
flag on the operation. For example, you can
allow printing only on dictated studies.
P
PACS
A Picture Archive and Communication
Systems (PACS) makes it possible to
electronically store, manage, distribute, and
view images.
