ADC Administrative Domain Controller—a unit of the HP Medical Archive software that authenticates grid nodes (certificates) and manages interconnections. It maintains grid topology information.
AE title Application Entity Title—the identifier of a DICOM node communi- cating with other DICOM AEs.
AMS Audit Management System—a unit of the HP Medical Archive software that monitors and logs all audited system events and transactions.
CBID Content Block Identifier—A number that uniquely identifies a piece of content within the HP Medical Archive system.
CIDR Classless Inter-Domain Routing—a method of routing traffic between IP networks that improves flexibility when dividing ranges of IP Addresses into separate networks. CIDR is defined in RFC 1519. Standard notation for a CIDR address range begins with the network address, padded with zero bits on the right, followed by a slash “/” character and a number representing the length in bits of the subnet mask (prefix), thus defining the size of the network. For example:
•192.168.120.0/24 represents the 256 addresses 192.168.120.0 through 192.168.120.255 inclusive. The “/24” indicates a 24-bit subnet mask, leaving 8 bits (0–255) of subnet address space.
•192.168.212.0/22 represents the 1024 addresses 192.168.212.0 through 192.168.215.255 inclusive. The left-most 22 bits form the mask, leaving 10 bits (0.0–3.255) of subnet address space.
CIFS Common Internet File System—a file system protocol based on SMB (Server Message Block, developed by Microsoft) intended to complement existing protocols such as HTTP, FTP, and NFS.
CLB Connection Load Balancer—a unit of the HP Medical Archive software that directs incoming DICOM traffic based on factors from an ADC.
CMN Configuration Management Node—a unit of the HP Medical Archive software for performing system-wide reconfiguration and Grid Tasks.
CMS Content Management System—a unit of the HP Medical Archive software managing a distributed database catalog of the grid content (metadata) and data duplication according to business rules to provide Information Lifecycle Management (ILM).
