Leadtools.AddIn.StoreProxy.dll

This AddIn is used to auto forward DICOM storage objects it receives from DICOM client to preconfigured DICOM server. An example of using store proxy is to auto forward images generated at different modalities or workstations in a satellite clinic to central archive in main clinic. There is no need to grant access to the central archive for each station at satellite site and can communication can be made secure between main and satellite clinics over public internet eliminating the need for VPN.

Store Proxy Icon - Store Proxy- Double click on the Store Prosy icon from PACS Server Manager while L17_ROUTER_32 server is selected will display the following Proxy Configuration dialog:

This tab has the options to configure the client role of store proxy. Following are the fields for SCU Tab of Proxy Configuration dialog:

AE Title Text Edit Box- This is the calling AE Title of the proxy as a client (SCU).

Implementation Class Text Edit Box – This is the UID to identify the DICOM Implementation for this node in PACS environment. Please note that the different equipment of the same type or product line (but having different serial numbers) are recommended by the standard to use the same Implementation Class UID if they share the same implementation environment (i.e., software).

Implementation Version Text Edit Box – Add Implementation Version Name for this node. This optional Implementation Version Name (up to 16 characters) provides a mechanism to distinguish two versions of the same implementation (same Implementation Class UID).

Use Proxy AE Title Check Box –Instead of using the AE Title of the client that originally stored the image to the router server while communicating with remote server, use the AE Title of proxy client (i.e. DCM_STOREPROXY).
