 If the site has inte grated EchoPAC PC 
and CA-1000, enable  Allow SR and Allow SR Private Data .
 
7.) Select OK.
8.) If this dataflow should be the default at start-up, enable  Default for the dataflow.

3-9-17-3 Query/Retrieve Verification
Follow the Steps Below to do a First Test (TCP-IP Ping) of the Connection
1.) Select  Query retrieve  and then select  Properties.
2.) Select the “Smiley” button to Ping the server.
NOTE: The smiley checks if the remote server is  accessible (ping). It is not a DICOM Echo (DICOM 
ping), so it does not check AE title or port number.
3.) If the network connection to the server is  OK, it will be illustrated by an smiling “Smiley”  .
A sad Smiley indicates that the  network connection is failing. 
Typical causes:  
- Network cable not connected.
- Configuration error(s).
4.) When ready, select OK to close the DICOM  Query/Retrieve properties and save changes.

3-9-17-3      Query/Retrieve Verification (cont’d)
Follow the Steps Below to Test th e DICOM Query/Retrieve Workflow 
NOTE: This check uses both Ping and DICOM Ping. - Ping is used to verify the  TCP/IP connection to the server.
- DICOM Ping is used to verify that  the DICOM application is answering.
1.) Select QueryRetrieve from the Selected devices list.
2.) Select Check.  - If the test pass, a pop-up dialog, reporting the results as OK, is displayed, see  Figure 3-84. 
- Select OK to continue.  A green check mark to the left of the Selected  devices indicates that the test was successfully 
passed. Figure 3-83   Check the DICOM Query/Retrieve workflow

- If the test fails, a pop-up dialog reporting the resu lts as “0 of 1 OK” is displayed. In the example 
in  Figure 3-86,  the warning message pop up almost at onc e, and it states that for the Server 
Check (Ping), 1 of 1 is OK but the Device Che ck failed (0 of 1 OK). This indicates that the 
network connection functions OK, but the application on the remote server is not answering.
If the test fails directly, as  described in this example, the AE Title is probably wrong.
A red “X” to the left of the Selected devices indicates  that the test failed, but it doesn’t indicate the cause.
- If the Check button fails after a long time (corresponding to the timeout), the Warning will look  like the example in  Figure 3-88, where both tests failed.
In this case, the IP address or Port Number is probably wrong.
If Retrieve is Failing ...
If Retrieve is failing but Qu ery is functioning, verify if the scanner has been registered as an receiver on 
the server. Figure 3-86   Test (Check) Fails directly
Figure 3-87   Test (Check) Passed
