Automated Failover

Automated failover of EP servers and storage volumes is available. It requires a specific configuration and uses the Linux cluster server technology. This configuration may require additional or new hardware for existing sites wanting to add automated failover.

 

Mr. Admin Account Retired

The default user account, Mr. Admin, is no longer included at installation time. Use the default support account to create any generic accounts needed during server build-out.

 

HTTP Interface Enhancements

Additions and changes have been made to the HTTP interface specifications.  Refer to the HTTP Interface manual for details.

 

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 Support

eRAD PACS supports Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) version 7, although some differences exist between it and previous versions that require attention.

 

When IE7 attempts to connect to the server, it checks the Microsoft database for the signature. If it finds the certificate, it passes the test. If it does not, you get a certificate error warning. In previous versions, you could tell IE to trust specific sites. You can do the same in IE7, but you will still receive the warning.

 

If you are using IE7 and attempt to open a locked study, the (first) lock popup appears, but the viewer does not start. After clicking Open on the popup, the browser activates a blocker message, with the only available option being, "Download File.” Regardless of what you do, the browser will not launch the viewer.  The workaround is in an IE7 configuration setting. Open the browser and select Tools/Internet Options. Select the Security tab and click the Custom Level button. Under the Downloads section, change the setting for Automatic prompting for file downloads from Disable to Enable.
