DICOM

DICOM is optional The configuration settings for the LDR X DICOM component allow

on the HPMA. you to set the active state of the protocol component, select whether or not to enable the protocol on service restarts, and reset transaction

counters to clear alarms.

The LDR advertises two ports to the grid, one for query and retrieve operations and one for ingest. When the DICOM component is in “Online” state, both ports are advertised. The “Online (Read-Only)” state advertises only the Q/R port and not the ingest port.

depends on the state of the Storage component. If the

 

 

storage component is read-only on startup, the

 

 

DICOM interface is also read-only. If the storage

 

 

component is online, then DICOM is also online.

 

 

Otherwise the DICOM interface remains in the

 

 

Offline state.
