\\ISWIMG01\IMAGE1$\ \\TeleRad\Wichita$\

These fields are not used for routing. The Background Processor uses these fields and will set values as needed.

OPERATIONAL STATUS

The value for this field can be 0 (off-line) or 1 (on-line). The routing software will set this value appropriately as it is operating. When no connection can be established, the routing software will set this field to 0 (off-line). Once this field is set to 0, the routing software will not attempt to reach the storage location referenced in this entry for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes have passed, the routing software will reset this field to 1 and then try to connect again.

STORAGE TYPE

The value of this field describes the media type for the storage location identified above. For routing destinations, the value will be MAGNETIC.

HASH SUBDIRECTORY

The value of this field determines if routed image files are stored in one single directory (value is No or empty), or in a hierarchy of directories (value is Yes). This value should be set based on the needs of your site.

ABSTRACT

The value of this field indicates whether or not “abstract” files should be transmitted to this destination. Abstract files (also known as thumbnail or icon files) are used by Clinical Display workstations.

FULL

The value of this field indicates whether or not “full” files should be transmitted to this destination. Full files contain the complete image, potentially at a reduced resolution. For routing, this field should be set to Yes.
