DR-F System Configuration

1   When to Perform System Configuration

Potential for Data Loss:

1. Always create an up-to-date backup of your system data following

product installation or changes to configuration data.
2. Upon exiting the Service User Interface (SUIF), for Configuration and
Calibration information to take effect, the system must be reset. This must
be done before the system is used for patient acquisitions.

 
 

1.1  During System Installation

Your system is delivered to you configured to default values. You should configure your system
to the values that are appropriate for your particular installation. The items that must be
configured are identified in Step .

1.2  Missing or Lost System Backups

If you perform a software install and do not restore configuration files, you must re-perform all
of configurations listed in , after it’s complete. A software install resets all configuration data. If
you performed a [backup] before you began the software install, you are not required to perform
the configuration and calibrations. Simply [restore] the data saved previously
1.3  Addition of Purchased Options

Installation of purchased options can only be performed by authorized GE sales and service
representatives. If you add purchased options to your system, you should update the system
configuration files immediately and create/save a new backup.

2  Starting the System Configuration Tool

1. From the application desktop, click on the Service Tools icon.
2. Click on [Launch] button.
3. Click on Configuration icon.

3.4  User Accounts

3.4.1  System Log-in

Upon system start-up, you must enter an User ID and password to enable the full functionality of
the system. The log-in pop-up window is displayed. Use the keyboard to enter your User ID and
password. If you make a mistake, you will be notified.

Once logged in, you will have full access to system features and operation.

3.4.2  About User Accounts

User accounts can be created to restrict access to system operation and data. Two account types
are supported by this system: Radiologist and Admin/Service. When creating a user ID, you must
choose one of these two account types.

Radiologist - Users with these privileges are allowed full access to all system features and
operation. The Radiologist privileges also includes full access to all service tools, except for the
Protocol Editor.
Admin/Service - Gives complete control over protocols and user accounts. The Admin/Service
account includes all of the privileges defined for a Radiologist account. The difference is that the
Admin/Service account can create and maintain user accounts.

root - Can only create user accounts.

User accounts must be created after system installation or whenever system software is installed
or re-installed.

3.4.3  Default User Accounts

When system software is installed, two user ID’s are automatically created: Radiologist and
Service. The user ID “xruser” is assigned Radiologist privileges. User ID “insite” is assigned
Admin/Service privileges. These accounts cannot be deleted.

Log-on to the Digital system with User ID insite, enter the password *******, for
Admin/Service privileges.

3.4.4  Create new Accounts

Step You also can create new accounts for users. See Create Service Accounts.

4  DICOM Configuration
See the Operator’s Manual (5265602-1EN) for instructions on how to configure DICOM on this
system.

The following worksheets should be used to capture and archive your system’s DICOM
configuration for future reference. Records configuration information in the work sheets that
follows. Place worksheets in a safe place so that they may be referenced in the future if needed.

4.1.2  Preference Tab

Values for each network node are configured on the Workstation PC. Generally, options 1, 2 and
3 are enabled (checked) for remote viewing stations, PACS, etc.

 Option 1 - Check this option if the remote host being configured should be able to Query
and get a response of a list of images on the magic.
 Option 2 - Check this option if the remote host being configured should be able to
Retrieve any of images returned on the image list (pull) from the magic.
 Option 3 - Check this option if the remote host being configured should be able to Send /
Push any of the images in its local database to the magic.
 Option 4 - This option will never be used since the magic does not yet generate multi-
frame images.
 Option 5 - Checking this option will cause the magic to strip out all patient information
in the images being sent to the remote node being configured. Same as de-identify and
push automatically. Some sites may want to check this option for some nodes being
configured for security purposes (if they do not want to divulge any patient info to the
folks using this remote node).
 Options 6- should be checked / enabled based on the procedure that you have from Rich
Warp.
 Options 7 & 8 - will be used only for the HIS / RIS system being configured Option 7
should be selected for the HIS / RIS system only if it has been configured to accept
MPPS messages from the magic.
 Options 8 - may not be implemented on your system yet. If it has not been implemented,
please ignore.
