3 Configuration
This section explains the application's configuration settings.
DPSLAB enables orders for printing photos and/or other services to be sent to third party
laboratories. The operational mode of DPSLab is organised by services. These consist of a
combination of the protocol configuration for sending orders, the method for sending orders to
electronic systems in the laboratory, the description of the Service itself and how it operates.
For example:
Service
Protocol
Sending method
Description
LABS1
MIT_GEN_200
LAN
Sending through local
network to a generic
system
MIT_PBM_100
MIT_PBM_100
SELF
Sending through local
network to a
MITSUBISHI MAP
LABS2
MIT_GEN_200
FTP
Sending through local
network to another
generic system
The steps to be followed for configuring DPSLab services are
4. Install the protocols to use (see INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION OF THE
PROTOCOL)
5. Create the service to be configured and select the protocol to use in this service. At
this point, the entire selected protocol configuration has been copied to the
configuration of the service, including translations. There will be no more links
between the protocol configuration and the service configuration for the associated
protocol. The part of the service configuration relating to the associated protocol will
be called the „Service Protocol Configuration‟ from now on.
6.
7. The "PROTOCOLS" tab has been hidden to avoid wrong configurations. Each
protocol will be configured with the most general possibilities and each configuration
will be personalised in each service created.
8. It is now possible to duplicate a service or department already configured when
creating a new one. See further below for more details.
9.
10. Configure the other parts of the service – the sending method and its characteristics.
11. Save the configuration.
In some cases, it can exist a DPSLAB service installer (like MIT_PBM_100). This application
installs and automatically configures the service and protocol. In such cases the DPSLAB
service name could be different tan LABS<N>.
DPSLAB supports 2 kind of services: free services and licensed ones. The free services,
once configured, and the system is started, they are published to the Dispatcher normally. A
service requiring license launches the licensing system when required. This process is
repeated everytime the supervisor tries to enter the settings area., just before asking for the
password to enter.
