User manual

#Retries – The router will give up and post an error alert if the transmission
failed after the count of 10 retries have been attempted. The default is retry
10 times.
Prompt on Send Failure? – An option to the router to not prompt on a s
end failure but rather place the DICOM image in the canceled queue after a
number of user defined retries. This is important for unattended operation.
Network Timeout – The elapsed number of seconds before a network t
imeout will be issued when establishing a DICOM association.
Protocol – The normal setting “DICOM” is based on the standard DICOM
release, and handles various modalities and PACS hosts. The “Radlink”
protocol setting supports image compression. The older protocol is based on
the RSNA 2000 standard. The protocol setting is ”Mallinckrodt”. This setting
was added to accommodate older PACS hosts. This protocol does not
support compression and doesn’t support newer modalities.
Compression – The compression techniques supported are:
noCompression – Save the image uncompressed.
jpeglossy – 8 bit Process 1 – This is JPEG 8 bit lossy compression. The
default viewer with CD creation is only able to recognize jpeg 8 bit lossy
and uncompressed images.
Destination Settings Action Buttons

generated Host Alias will automatically be generated and can be easily
modified.
Delete – A host can be deleted by pushing Delete after selecting the
destination to be deleted. If there are DICOM transfers in progress or queued
up for that host, they will not be sent. No directories or files are actually
deleted with this operation.
DICOM Ping – Click the DICOM Ping button to verify that the Destination
settings, the network settings, and the PACS settings are correct and the
PACS server is accepting associations. If all is well, the following message will
be displayed:
