size ground wire from the distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet. 
Sites with a mains power system without a defined Neutral: 
The dedicated line shall consist of on e phase (two lines), not shared with any other circuit, and a full 
size ground wire from the distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet. 
NOTE: Please note that image artifacts can occur, if  at any time within the facility, the ground from the 
main facilitys incoming power source to  the Ultrasound unit is only a conduit.

2-3-5 Networking   Setup Requirements
2-3-5-1 Stand Alone Scanner (without Network Connection)
None.
2-3-5-2 Scanner Connected to Hospital’s Network Supported networks:
DICOM Network (option)
2-3-5-3 Purpose of the DICOM Network Function DICOM services provide the operator  with clinically useful features for moving images and patient 
information over a hospital network. Examples of DI COM services include the transfer of images to 
workstations for viewing or transferring images to  remote printers. As an added benefit, transferring 
images in this manner frees up the on-board monitor and peripherals, enabling viewing to be done while 
scanning continues. With DICOM, images can be arch ived, stored, and retrieved faster, easier, and at 
a lower cost.
2-3-5-4 DICOM Option  Setup Requirements To configure the Vivid 7 to work with other networ k connections, the site’s network administrator must 
provide information to  complete the form in Figure 2-2 Pre-quote Worksheet for DICOM Network 
Information on page 2-14 . Ensure that there are no spac es in any field of the form. 
Entries must include: 
• A host name, local port number, AE Title,  IP address and Net Mask for the Vivid 7. 
• The IP addresses for the default gateway  and other routers at the site for ROUTING 
INFORMATION.
• The host name, IP address, port and AE Title for  each device the site wants connected to the Vivid 7
 
for DICOM APPLICATION INFORMATION. A field for  the make (manufacturer) and the revision of 
the device, is also included. This info rmation may be useful for error solving.
