Adding a new node to automatic image pushing

Hello! I am an I.T. professional who is new to the medical imaging world...so, please bear with me and excuse my ignorance on the topic. I am learning.

We have a new medical device set up on our network which is ready to receive DICOM images for processing. I have added this device to the list of Known DICOM providers on the various CONQUEST servers and successfully pushed images to it manually.

My question...how can I automatically push studies tagged with "MG" to this new medical device, so they don't have to be manually pushed? We also don't need any of the Tomo data...

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much for your time.

Thank you for the response. We have 4 locations....here are the export converters at each location. Can you help me determine where to put those converters you mentioned and what numbers they need by them? I would like each location to automatically push those MG's to this new node. All sites are connected via Site to Site VPN so they can all talk.

No Export converters

Add a new exportconverter to each node similar to ones already there, increasing "ExportConverters".

Marcel

Thank you for the response. Can you please verify that I have the syntax correct? I wasn't sure what numbers to put...

I need to make sure these will work how I added them....but also will not break the current export converters and scripts. (obviously I will change the "DEVICE" to the name of the DICOM device)

Yes looks fine,

Marcel

Thank you kindly. Last question...when I make the changes to the .ini file, do I need to restart the service? AKA, what do I need to do for the rules to go into effect?

Nothing appears to be going to the new device, unfortunately, even after the new lines added to the ini file. I did restart the service/server. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I did restart the service. Do I need to restart it a different way?

Yes, it is.

So, are you saying I need to increase my ExportConverters value by ONE at the top of each of the blurbs I sent you?

Appears to be working now!! Thank you so much for your help.
