Setup the DCMburner software

Start DCMburner and press the “Setup” button.

Setup - Dicom Server

In this section you can configure the Dicom Gateway and the database.

 The Hostname is automatically filled in, even as the IP Address. They cannot be editing in the

DCMburner software. If wanted, change this in the Windows environment.

 The standard AE-Title is DCMBURNER, but you can change this as you like. You can use up

to 16 uppercase characters.

 The Dicom Gateway Port is standard 4006, but you can also use different port numbers like

104 for example.

 The incoming Study Time-Out is set to 5 seconds. If your network is slow then increase this

value.

 Incoming Compression; the standard is “Do Not Change”, this means that all images are

stored as they are send by the Dicom Client. If needed you can change this in uncompress, in

case the images are send as Lossless the converted to an uncompressed Dicom file. If you

choose the Jpeg Lossless option, all the images are compressed to Jpeg Lossless. Be careful,

not all Dicom viewers support this.

 Dicom Dir Part 11, normally the standard General Purpose CD-R/DVD Interchange is

activated. With this option it’s possible to choose other Dicom Dir formats like CD-R_DVD-

RAM, STD-GEN-DVD-JPEG, STD-GEN-DVD-J2K, STD-GEN-BD-JPEG, STD-GEN-BD-J2K

etc. More info regarding the Dicom Part 11: Media Storage Application Profiles you find at

 Debug Level, level 0 is the standard log and level 4 gives you the highest possible log level. If

you want to view the live log press first the Debug Screen.

 Optimize Server/User interface, this setting gives you the opportunity to optimize the Dicom

gateway or User interface. In case you setup the system to burn automatically then set to

20ms or in case you’re using an older system set to 200ms or higher.

 Removing studies, you can change this value from 0 to 7 days. When the program closes it

will remove all studies older than n days.

 Clear database, if needed you can wipe all data from the database and Image folder.
