unique ID for license handling
A security or copy-protection device for commercial microcomputer
programs consisting of a serialized EPROM and a number of drivers
in a USB connector shell. The device must be connected to an I/O
port of the computer while the program is running. Programs that use
a dongle query the port at startup and at programmed intervals. The
programs terminate if the port does not respond to the dongle's programmed validation code.
transfer between computers
belongs to one of four classes (A, B, C, D) and is written as 4 octets
separated by periods (dotted decimal format). Each address consists
of a network number, an optional sub-network number, and a host
number. The network and the subnet numbers are used for routing,
while the host number is used to address an individual host within the
network or the sub-network. A subnet mask is used to extract network
and sub-network information from the IP address.
The IP is part of the socket address
Port Part of the socket address. Different DICOM services on the same
host PC may use different port numbers.
Subnet mask The subnet mask is used to extract network and sub-network informa-
tion from the IP address.
Router A device that connects different networks. Different means either a
different architecture or a different type of protocol. In a TCP/IP environment, a router is used to connect computers that are located in different IP address ranges.
Service Key Necessary to enter the service UI. The key has to be generated prior
to the initial software installation.
Socket Address The socket address is formed from the IP and the port number.
WINS WINS provides a distributed database for registration and querying
dynamic Net-BIOS names to IP addresses.
Vendor ID Unique identification number provided by a dongle.

When the MAMMOMAT Novation DR is being configured, it must be completely cabled
but not connected to the network.
NOTICE
Start-up procedure for the entire system.
Problems may occur when the system has been operating for too
long without a reboot.
¹ The system should be switched off completely once a
week; no power to the stand!
• Switch on the room's main power switch.
• Wait 5 minutes.
• Press the ON button on the control console to activate the MAMMOMAT Novation DR.
The internal monitoring system automatically performs a functional check of the MAMMOMAT Novation DR. As a result, the dr is displayed on the film density display on the
control panel, when the detector wing is selected, to indicate that the communication
with the MAMMOMAT Novation DR system is functioning.
• Switch the PC and the screen on at the acquisition workstation.
• Allow the MAMMOMAT Novation DR to warm up for at least 60 minutes to obtain opti-
mum image quality.

transfers the pixel data in photometric interpretation MONOCHROME2 with a
12-bit pixel depth (16 bits allocated for each pixel, e.g. for mammography
images).
Background
• The background of the film can be set to ’black’ or ’white’; default setting = black.
Transformation
Normally no transformation; in special cases, an additional transformation is required in
the DICOM camera. The following values are possible:
• Replicate: the interpolated value is identical to the last pixel value
• Bilinear: the interpolated value is between (linear) the last pixel value and the next pixel
value
• Cubic: the interpolated value is between (curve) the last pixel value and the next pixel
value
• No magnification: leaves the image as is; default setting = no magnification. Do not
change, unless otherwise noted.
• Click on "Save"
• Caution: Please wait for the message "device properties successfully saved."
• Click on "OK"; “Finish.”
NOTICE
Deleting print devices
If a DICOM camera is to be deleted from the configuration settings,
start the deletion with the last menu of the print device setup and
go back to first menu. Otherwise, the error message "Option value
warning: Invalid node could not be found" will be displayed.
¹ To enter a new DICOM camera, always start with the first
menu of the setup.

Explanation of LUT
Correction LUT / Presentation LUT
• For an explanation, see Menu options (above). Special settings depend on the modali-
ty (see Overview, Additionally Required Documents) (Note: "Presentation LUT" and
"Correction LUT" are logical names and do not correspond to each other in the different
options; i.e., both presentation LUT’s in the 2nd and 3rd options can have the same
name but different contents).
• There may be 8-bit LUT’s and 16-bit LUT’s in the LUT selection box. This does not
mean that one kind of LUT is made for 8-bit images and another for 16-bit images. This
means that the 8-bit LUT’s have only 256 values to describe the LUT. The 16-bit LUT
has 65 KB and is therefore much more precise. The disadvantage of a 16-bit LUT is that
it is quite large. For a correction LUT (camera is linear), the LUT is used only for the
camera, NOT for the monitor. For a presentation LUT (camera and monitor are adjusted according to the Barten curve), the LUT is used for the camera and for the monitor.

56 Configuration for DICOM Camera
Max. density
• This value is required for each LUT and is imported together with the LUT (do not
change this default value, unless otherwise noted). This value will be used together with
’Overall maximum density’ to scale the image presentation for each image per film
sheet (Hint: the Min. Density value will be set once in the ’Print device menu’).
Overall maximum density
• This value will be used to set the maximum required density on the film. Default setting
= 3.00. (The overall maximum density value has to be equal to or higher than the "Max.
density entries" for the different image types).
Interpolation for printing
• The complete film sheet is calculated in the modality and then sent to the DICOM cam-
era (page mode). To fit the images onto this virtual film sheet, pixel interpolation is required. Do not change, unless otherwise noted.
The following values are possible:
Replicate: the interpolated value is identical to the last pixel value
Bilinear: the interpolated value is between (linear) the last pixel value and the next
pixel value
Cubic: the interpolated value is between (curve) the last pixel value and the next pixel
value
Mode
• The smoothing type factor can be selected for the cubic interpolation algorithm only
(smoothing factors are 0, 2, 3, 4). Do not change, unless otherwise noted.
• Click on "Save" after making the changes.
• Click on "Finish."
• Click on "Home"; the system restarts automatically.
NOTE
If the message "restart syngo pending" appears in the bottom status line, an application
restart is automatic after the "HOME" button is pressed.
If the message "shutdown syngo pending" appears in the bottom status line, a system
restart is automatic after the "HOME" button is pressed.
This may take some time.
Confirm the warnings with "OK."

Network Adapter Settings 0
General 0
Due to the many different types of network switch available and the different network
adapters provided with the syngo hardware, the general default "Auto detect" configuration of the network switches and adapters doesn’t work reliably and its use results in poor
network performance.
Therefore, the recommended procedure is to configure the the syngo hardware's network
adapter to a specific speed (Link Speed & Duplex) to avoid auto negotiation (e.g.
100Mbps/Full duplex).
This must be done on both sides of the syngo network adapter as well as on-site, at the
corresponding network switch, for the existing network installation that is directly connected to it. It is therefore very important to consult the network administrator, since he or
she is responsible for configuring the particular switch accordingly.
The link speed to be configured depends on the proposed transfer performance and on
the recommended speed of the modality or syngo product. Please refer to the product's
other start-up instructions, pertinent Speedinfos, or support center bulletins.
We assume that our network card's settings will be configured automatically by the "auto
detect mechanism" between the card and the switch.
This mechanism often does not work!! The network switch is frequently not set to "auto
detect," which may cause problems if our card is set to "auto detect".
The administrator password is therefore required. The customer's network administrator
needs to be involved in the process.
Configuration 0
To change the network adapter settings, it is necessary to log into the operating system
(Windows XP) as "Administrator".
Click the "Start" button, click Settings, and then Network Connections.

DICOM connectivity test information 0
General remarks 0
The DICOM configuration process is completed only when the interoperability has been
tested. Executing a successful transfer and checking the required functionality on the destination device are part of this test.
The DICOM Acquisition Tool lists the minimum tests for each service. These tests are
explained in this chapter. However, if the tests described in the startup instructions are
available, they must be performed because they address the product’s features more specifically.
The tests performed must be documented. Such documentation takes place automatically
with the DICOM Acquisition Tool.
NOTE
When is a test necessary?
Note: The time requirements given here take only the normal test
procedure into consideration. Troubleshooting and configuration
are not included in these figures.
• A test is always required to determine whether DICOM data transfer between the prod-
ucts is functioning. Configuration errors and network errors must be tested for as well.
• When non-Siemens products are configured in, additional tests are absolutely neces-
sary to check their interoperability.
• If a product combination (e.g. Leonardo, a non-Siemens archive) occurs more than
once in the network, only the transfer needs to be tested. Interoperability need only be
tested once.
• With Siemens-internal connections, only the transfer needs to be tested. In most cas-
es, interoperability tests should have been performed at the factory.
• The test should be performed even when the product combination is already entered in
the DICOM interoperability database.
The tests required for each DICOM service are described below:
Verification 0
This test is normally performed during configuration and does not have to be documented.
It is primarily used for troubleshooting.
This service is launched from Service Tools, either in Configuration or via the DICOM Service Tools. It checks the network connection on the DICOM level (AET, Port Number).

Test Data
• Images should be used that have been generated from a particular modality or with
workstation images sent from a modality to the workstation. Some images should be
manipulated at the modality or workstation (distance measurement, annotation, invert,
rotate).
• If possible, several studies with several series for a patient should be sent.
Transfer
• A connectivity check should be performed to determine whether the transfer of studies
from or to the other DICOM nodes takes place without difficulties. If ’Auto Forward’ is
configured for a modality, a check must be performed to determine whether the images
are automatically transferred to the configured destination.
Test Procedure
The support of a service technician for non-Siemens devices or a technician appointed by
the customer is frequently required for the tests. Sufficient time must be allowed for
scheduling the participation of these technicians.
Study & Series Sorting
• A test should be performed to determine whether a study is entered correctly into the
database at the destination, i.e., whether it displays correctly in the patient browser (patient / study / series splitting). The complete transfer should be performed again to
check how the patient browser reacts (dual entries?).
Display of Image
• If images are to be displayed on the destination device, open the transferred study and
check whether the presentation of images is satisfactory (e.g. windowing) and whether
the required image texts are displayed. The "invert" and "rotate image" manipulation
functions should also be checked to make sure they work correctly on the transfer device.
Display of Overlays
• When displaying images, the overlays should be checked separately. The image ma-
nipulations (distance measurement, annotations) performed on the transfer device
must be correctly displayed. With CT and MR, the cut lines in the topogram are transferred as overlay data.
Postprocessing
• If the customer wishes to perform postprocessing on the destination device, the trans-
ferred images are used for checking. This can include 3D calculation, subtraction (Angio), distance measuring, windowing, and rotate.

Time Requirement per Product Combination:
• The time required depends very much on the number and types of images to be exam-
ined. Appropriate images must be generated or acquired. Some images must be manipulated and re-saved. The support of the customer or the service technician is
required for tests on a non-Siemens target device.
• The estimated time required is 1 to 2 hours.
Storage Commitment 0
Test procedure
Transfer
• A connectivity check should be performed to determine whether the Storage Commit-
ment Transfer is performed correctly following the transfer of image studies from or to
another DICOM node.
Display of Commitment Result
• At the transfer device, a check should be performed to determine whether the success-
ful or even incorrect commitment response was correctly entered in the user interface.
With syngo, this can be seen on the image level in the patient browser (under "Status").
Time Requirement per Product Combination
• The test time requirement can be disregarded.
Query/Retrieve 0
Test Data
• Several patients (see the patient browser) must be available at the query provider (des-
tination system). The patient names should contain country-specific special characters
(ä, ß).
Test Procedure
• Transfer: A connectivity test should be performed to determine whether the transfer of
the Query Requests and Responses from or to the other DICOM nodes has been performed without difficulties.
• SCU Receives Requested Attributes: A test should be performed to determine
whether Query (C_Find) has found the correct data sets and has indicated this. It must
be taken into consideration that many query SCUs have a limit on the data sets (configurable).
• Retrieve all Objects of Result List: Afterwards, the examinations on the study, series
and image level should be selected and imported (C_Move). The destination system
will open a new DICOM Association and will transfer the images using the DICOM Storage Services.
• Query by all Possible Attributes: Here, all possible selections in the Query user inter-
face should be checked (Wildcards *, Study Date, ...).

Time Requirement per Product Combination
• The estimated test time depends on the capabilities of the Query user interface and is
approx. 1/2 hour per study.
Basic Print 0
A check should be performed to determine whether a transfer to a DICOM camera takes
place without difficulties, using the specified formats.
Only approved cameras should be connected.
Test Data
• A film job with at least 2 film sheets should be sent to the camera.
Test Procedure
The support of the customer is needed to evaluate the image quality and should therefore
be planned for the camera test.
Transfer
• A connectivity check should be performed to determine whether the transfer of film pag-
es to the camera has taken place without error. If several devices print to one camera,
these devices should send film jobs to the camera at the same time, including the device to be tested.
Receiving and Displaying Warnings
• During the transfer, a film cassette should be pulled out. It must be checked when and
which error message is displayed on the local user interface.
Display of Images
• The image quality must be checked in collaboration with the customer. Are all required
texts displayed?
Display of Overlays
• The image manipulations (distance measurement, annotations) performed at the trans-
ferring device must be correctly displayed. For CT and MR, the cut lines should also be
transferred in the topogram as overlay data.
Time Requirement per Camera
• The required test time is approx. 1 hour as long as no changes to the configuration data
are necessary, which should not be the case with approved cameras.
Modality Worklist 0
Test Data
• This test frequently requires the support of the customer, because studies for the mo-

Test Procedure
Transfer
• A check must be performed to determine whether data sets are found on the HIS/RIS
and are reported back without error. With a multiple worklist request, the data should
not change in the scheduler.
Worklist Request by all Possible Attributes
• Under Option Configuration in syngo, it is possible to specify whether a search should
be for a modality type (CT, MR, XA, ...) or the system (AET). In addition, selection of a
time window is possible.
With syngo, worklist requests can also be sent from the registration platform, whereby
the search can be performed using the following attributes: patient’s name, patient ID,
patient’s date of birth, Accession No., requested procedure ID, modality, scheduled
performing physician’s name, scheduled station name and start date / time.
Depending on the customer’s request, the appropriate worklist requests must be
checked.

• The results of this test must be viewed in the context of those of the previous test. A
check must be performed to determine whether the worklist responses match the request. Following each request, the scheduler must be deleted manually.
Worklist Attributes in Image Header
• With larger installations, certain attributes are employed in the subsequent workflow. To
check whether these attributes have been correctly accepted into the image header by
the HIS/RIS, images must be generated and sent. At the destination, a check should be
performed to determine whether the attributes are filled in correctly.
Time Requirement
• The estimated test time is approx. 1 hour as long as studies were already planned in the
HIS/RIS.
Modality Performed Procedure Steps (MPPS) 0
This test can be performed only in conjunction with the worklist test. The service technician must perform a study based on the modality worklist and then test whether the MPPS
messages on the HIS/RIS were transferred. An additional study of the MPPS data must
be performed by the customer (HIS/RIS Administrator).
The types of cases that can be tested in MPPS are quite diverse. The tests must first be
clarified with the Project Manager; for example,
• how an emergency patient is handled (no patient data from the HIS/RIS using Modali-
ty Worklist),
• how an append case is handled (additional procedures that were not contained in the
worklist) or
• how a group case is handled (combining several procedures in one scanning proce-
dure)

Test Data
• All required boxes in both the registration platform (prior to the application) as well as
the MPPS platform (after the application) must be filled in. Names as long as possible
should be used and, depending on the country, should include special characters (e.g.
ä,ß).
Test Procedure
Transfer
• A check must be performed to determine whether the MPPS data is successfully trans-
ferred to the RIS. It must be taken into consideration that MPPS data is transferred
when the application is launched (Create) and terminated (SET). Both transfers must
be successful.
RIS Receives all Required Attributes
• This test is very time-consuming and HIS/RIS-specific and can therefore be performed
only by the customer. If problems occur, the Project Manager should usually be involved.
Time Requirement
• Estimated time requirement for transfer is approx. 1/2 hour.
• However, the time required for testing interoperability is several days, depending on the
possible scenarios. This test should be performed by the customer.
Media Storage 0
Test Data
• Use images that were generated by the modality being tested, or if they are workstation
images, images that were sent from the modality to the workstation. Some images
should be manipulated at the modality or workstation (distance measurement, annotation, invert, rotate).
• If possible, several studies with several series for one patient should be sent.
Test Procedure
File Set READ
• A test must be performed to determine whether media that are generated on our own
device can be read on the other device and vice versa. The following points must be
taken into consideration: -Are all patients and studies displayed in the correct sequence? -Can the images be imported and displayed? -Are overlay data (distance
measurement, annotation) correctly displayed?
File Set CREATE
• If new media are to be written to, a test must be performed to determine whether the pa-
tients and studies are written in the correct sequence and all desired image formats are
written. In addition, the generated media are needed to test File Set Read on the destination device.

File Set UPDATE
• For this, a medium (CD-R, DVD, ...) with existing studies is needed, and the following
tests have to be performed: -The contents of the original medium must be readable (like
File Set Reader Test). -New images from the same and from other patients must be
writable to the medium (Multi Session). -After the burn, all patients and studies must be
available in the correct sequence. The images must be readable on our device and on
non-Siemens devices as well if the latter are configured.
Example of a Calculation of the Estimated Time Requirement 0
In this calculation example, the times listed for tests in this chapter should indicate how
much time is required for configuration and for the subsequent tests.
Here, the modality being tested is connected to one workstation, one archive and one
camera, as well as to an RIS. The following conditions are assumed:
• All devices are available
• The service technicians who must connect the devices are present and will configure
their devices at the same time
• The customer is available for the tests, whereby the MPPS tests are largely performed
by the customer and are not taken into consideration here
• The configuration data are all available and correct
• The viability of the DICOM connection was checked during the acquisition phase or dur-
ing the planning phase (Connectivity, Interoperability)
• Restart of the system is taken into consideration in the estimated overall configuration

This example shows that despite optimum preparations, and without errors in connecting
the modalities, approx. 6 1/2 hours are required. If one takes simple troubleshooting into
consideration, e.g. configuration errors, at least one day should be planned.

Connecting a MOD 0
The following SW adjustment is required for a MOD drive:
• Connect the MOD drive to the computer.
• Turn the computer on and insert a medium (e.g., 4.1 GB) into the MOD drive.
• Use syngo Configuration under Options -> Service -> Local service to configure the
offline device (optical disk).
• Reboot the computer.

IP and port security 0
NOTE
This has been the case since VD20J IP filtering via IP security policy was introduced.
Therefore, all ports for each IP address are closed during syngo installation. Special ports
are subsequently released for essential communication (e.g. DICOM, drive mapping, network name resolution). During service configuration, all defined IP addresses are
released (e.g. Main/SatCon usage).
If it is necessary to free all ports due to problems evoked by the IP security settings, it is
possible to switch IP security off by entering a command under Local service/Utilities/Escape to Os.
It is not possible to reactivate IP security after it has been deactivated!
This would require a new software installation!
• ipseccmd.exe -u
• start cmd.exe /c setipsec.bat /remove
