n Click on the Echo button for the device
you want to test.
Sometimes it is necessary to confirm that MIMS and another device can
communicate. You can issue a ping command or a DICOM Echo request from
MIMS to do this check. From the Administration page, click on the Devices
tab to display the list of configured devices. On the right side of each row is a
Test button. Click on this button for the device you need to check. If the
device Type is DICOM, Parent or Child, a DICOM Echo request is executed. For HL7
devices, a ping command is executed. The results page appears. If the device
successfully received and acknowledged the Echo request, you will see a line:
Echo [1], Complete [Status: Success]
If the device successfully received and acknowledged a ping request, you will see a
line:
N packets transmitted, N packets
received, 0% packet loss
If one of these line does not appear anywhere on the result page, or if the Status does
not show Success, the device is either not on the network, or it is not running
its DICOM services. Click on Back to return to the Devices page. |
