IMPAX 6.3 AS300 Installation Guide 7

1
Getting started
For successful installation of IMPAX, servers must meet certain hardware and software requirements.
The IMPAX cluster can also be installed under different configurations.
Prerequisite knowledge
The installation procedures require that you have general knowledge of computer hardware and
software concepts and proficiency in operating and troubleshooting computer software.
What is IMPAX?
IMPAX is an image archiving and communications system that eliminates the need for film because it
receives, distributes, archives, and displays images. IMPAX automates the flow of information to
integrate the Radiology department with the rest of the hospital. IMPAX can also integrate remote
locations such as clinics or home offices to the system for offsite viewing of images.
Multi-cluster configurations
IMPAX 6.3 builds on the IMPAX 6.0 foundation to deliver multi-site functionality, which provides a
patient-centric view across hospitals within several sites. This view is delivered by extending the scope
of study query, study retrieval, and data synchronization from a single hospital site to several hospital
sites that have multiple patient domains (multiple RISs) in one or more IMPAX clusters.
Central to the multi-site configuration is the Data Center component. The Data Center provides storage
for studies through the Archive Server, as well as retrieval of the study data. Connected to the Data
Center are a collection of hospital groups known as entities, each with a local PACS infrastructure.
Most entities use IMPAX as their PACS system.
IMPAX 6.3 AS300 Installation Guide 8

The relationship between the Data Center and the various clusters is characterized as a hub and spoke.
The Data Center (hub) serves or archives data from the entities, known as spokes.
Order of cluster installations
The IMPAX cluster has many components and each depends on other components in the cluster. To
correctly install and configure components in the cluster, follow this order of installation:
1. Install the Database Server, Archive Server, and Network Gateway.
IMPAX 6.3 AS300 Installation Guide 9

Install the core Server components and create the portable password file required to install other
IMPAX components. Do not configure the Server components at this time; the Application Server
must be installed before the Server components can be configured. Refer to the guide appropriate
to your configuration.
Required guide: One of IMPAX 6.3 AS3000 Installation and Configuration Guide or IMPAX 6.3
AS300 Installation Guide
2. Install the Application Server.
Install the Business Application services and IMPAX Knowledge Bases on the Application Server.
Required guide: IMPAX 6.3 Application Server Installation and Upgrade Guide
3. Begin configuration of the Application Server.
Create and import an SSL certificate, configure ADAM, compress web services, set connections
to the image and audit servers, and set logging levels.
Required guide: IMPAX 6.3 Application Server Configuration Guide
4. If you have installed a Windows-based Database Server, Archive Server, or Network Gateway,
configure these components.
Configure database backups, image and web caches, and archives (if necessary). In clusters that
include only Solaris-based systems, these configuration steps are done automatically during the
installation.
Required guide: IMPAX 6.3 AS300 Configuration Guide
5. Install and configure Curator and the CD Export server.
If the site requires compressed web images, install and configure one or more Curator systems
and set up the web cache. If you are installing multiple Curators, install and start the master
Curator first, then install and start the slave Curators.
If you will be using the CD Export feature in the IMPAX Client, install the CD Export server .
Required guide: IMPAX 6.3 Curator and CD Export Server Installation Guide
6. Complete the configuration the Application Server
Connect to the IMPAX database, and complete the remaining configuration tasks.
Required guide: IMPAX 6.3 Application Server Configuration Guide
7. Install and configure Clients.
Install and configure the IMPAX Client, the PACS system used to access images.
Required guide: IMPAX 6.3 Client Installation and Configuration Guide
If installing a standalone station (single-host AS300 with Application Server and Client), refer to the
IMPAX 6.3 Standalone Installation, Upgrade, and Configuration Guide.
If installing a single-server (single-host AS300 with Connectivity Manager and Application Server),
refer to the IMPAX 6.3 Single-Server Installation and Configuration Guide.
All documentation is available on the IMPAX Documentation CD.
Understanding the AS300 cluster components
Every IMPAX 6.3 AS300 installation comprises the following main components:
IMPAX 6.3 AS300 Installation Guide 10

• Database Server hosting the SQL database
The database used by the IMPAX 6.3 AS300 cluster. It collects, organizes, and manages all patient
and study demographic data that is contained in DICOM header files.
• Network Gateway
Workflow manager of the IMPAX 6.3 AS300 cluster. It receives studies from modalities and
provides DICOM security and validation. Installation and configuration of a Windows-based
Network Gateway is covered in this guide.
• Archive Server
DICOM archive used for permanent storage and retrieval of studies. This component runs on a
Windows server. Installation and configuration of a Windows-based Archive server is covered in
this guide.
• Application Server
Clients connect to one or more Application Server machines, which act much like a proxy machine
to handle security, authentication, and communication with the IMPAX 6.3 Server components.
Installation and configuration details are covered in the IMPAX 6.3 Application Server Installation
and Upgrade Guide and IMPAX 6.3 Application Server Configuration Guide.
• Curator
Clients can view JPEG compressed or wavelet compressed DICOM images generated by the
Curator. Installation and configuration details are covered in the IMPAX 6.3 Curator and CD Export
Server Installation Guide.
• Clients—Local and Remote
Multi-modality diagnostic or clinical display station for viewing images and diagnosing studies.
Installation and configuration details are covered in the IMPAX 6.3 Client Installation and
Configuration Guide and the IMPAX 6.3 Client Configuration Guide.
Also possible is installing all components on one Windows computer—the standalone configuration.
That option is covered in the IMPAX 6.3 Standalone Installation, Upgrade, and Configuration Guide.
Another possible configuration is when all components other than Clients are installed on one computer,
along with the Connectivity Manager software and database—the single-server configuration. This
option is covered in the IMPAX 6.3 Single-Server Installation and Configuration Guide.
The sum of these components is called the cluster. The IMPAX 6.3 AS300 cluster is the set of core IMPAX
6.3 AS300 components that run on the Windows operating system and are controlled by one SQL
database. The Database Server must be installed first because the other stations must connect to the
SQL database.
Understanding cluster configuration options
Database, Archive, and Network Gateway components can all be installed on one “box” or station. This
is called a single-host configuration. For larger sites, each component may have its own station. This
is known as a multi-host configuration. By loading the IMPAX 6.3 Server software modules onto separate
stations, workflow volume is better managed and system performance enhanced. An intermediary
option is to install the Database Server on one station, and the Network Gateway and Archive Server
together on another station.
IMPAX 6.3 AS300 Installation Guide 11

Another possibility is to combine an AS3000 Database Server with an AS300 (Windows-based) Archive
Server and Network Gateway. This is called a mixed-host configuration.
The Curator, Application Server, and Client components must be installed on the Windows operating
system.
IMPAX 6.3 AS300 Installation Guide 12

IMPAX AS300 installation overview
IMPAX 6.3 uses an automated installer to make the installation of packages more straightforward. The
installer performs the following functions:
• Installs new packages (such as MVFCache, MVFCore, and so on)
• Copies the license keys under C:\mvf
• Builds the database
The installer logs the sequence of events that take place and stores the information in
C:\mvf\data\logs\mitra_install.log. This log file provides information about the following:
• The date and time the package was installed and the name of the person who installed it
• A short description of the operating system, SQL Server, processors, and memory
• All packages that have been installed as a part of the master installer
A second log file containing detailed information about the system is created under
C:\mvf\data\logs\SystemInfo.log.
Determining a password for the AgfaService account
During the installation, you are prompted for a password for the AgfaService account. The password
must conform to the following requirements:
• The password must be at least eight characters long.
• The password must not contain three or more characters from the user’s account name.
IMPAX 6.3 AS300 Installation Guide 16

• The password must contain characters from at least three of the following five categories:
• Uppercase characters (A to Z)
• Lowercase characters (a to z)
• Digits (0 to 9)
• Non-alphanumeric characters (for example, !, $, #, or %) ; avoid commas
• Unicode characters
AS300 installer packages reference
The IMPAX AS300 installer groups the packages to install under three sections: default, archive, and
optional. The following tables explain each package.
Default packages
Installs the DICOM Services for IMPAX and contains several core Windows
services and database tables used by IMPAX.
MVFCore
Installs the DICOM SCU and autopilot services used by IMPAX and spftpd
services. MVF cache includes mvf_compressor, used for lossy compression.
MVFCache
Contains the files necessary to build the SQL Server database used by
IMPAX.
MVFSqlserver
Installs the SCP and APIP-SCP services used by IMPAX. Install this package
only on stations that require Network Gateway functionality. Servers that
MVFNetworkGateway
support only internal transfers, not incoming DICOM communications, do
not require it.
Includes specific requirements and database extensions.VaultAgfa
Installs the Java Administration Tools application for configuring and
managing IMPAX. It also copies the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
self-extracting executable onto the system.
AdministrationTools
Installs the Java Runtime Environment.J2RE
Installs the files necessary to enable Optical Character Recognition. This
is an optional installation that works in conjunction with the
MVFocr
MVFNetworkGateway package. It should be installed only if your system
requires OCR.
The OCR package installs default OCR templates to handle many different
modality vendors. OCR training tools are not included with IMPAX.
Archive packages
Installs the jukebox CD-R/DVD-R package.MVFjdvd
Installs the non-jukebox CD-R/DVD-R package.MVFscdr
Installs the HSM package.MVFhsm
IMPAX 6.3 AS300 Installation Guide 17

Archive packages
For upgrades only. Not supported for new installations.MVFjdlt
Installs the jukebox DLT (digital linear tape) package.
For upgrades only. Not supported for new installations.MVFsdlt
Installs the non-jukebox DLT or single DLT package.
Archiving considerations:
• If the server is used for viewing only (no archiving), do not install any archive packages.
• Install only the archive package that applies to your system configuration.
• PACS Store and Remember archiving is available but does not require an installation package.
It does require an archive license. For details on setting up PACS Store and Remember archiving,
refer to the IMPAX 6.3 AS300 Configuration Guide.
Optional packages
Installs the MVF Compressor package, which includes
mvf_compressor_scheduler. The mvf_compressor_scheduler process is
responsible for scheduling the lossy compression of images.
MVFCompressor
Installs the Scavenger process. Scavenger copies studies from a source
archive to the destination (local) archive. The Scavenger process runs on
the destination archive station.
MVFScavenger
Installs the Curator package. The Curator process compresses incoming
images into Mitra wavelet format and stores them in the web cache. Studies
MVFCurator
compressed by the Curator process are served locally or over the World
Wide Web to display clients.
Installs the CD Export server, used with the CD Export feature in the IMPAX
Client. The CD Export server processes local burn jobs created by the IMPAX
Client and prepares the zip files containing the data for the burn job.
MVFcdexport
For instructions on using CD Export, refer to “Exporting and viewing images
from CD or DVD” (article ID 8209) in the IMPAX 6.3 Client Knowledge Base.
Installs the PAP package. A PACS Archive Provider (PAP) acts like a Service
Class Provider (SCP) by receiving studies and allows sites to have their
MVFpap
studies mirrored at another site through PACS Store and Remember
archiving. This mirroring protects against loss of data and enables studies
at one PACS to be viewed at another.
For instructions on configuring a PAP, refer to “Configuring a PACS Archive
Provider (PAP)” (article ID 11586) in the Archive Server component of the
IMPAX 6.3 Server Knowledge Base.

Summary of IMPAX
AS300 server
installation steps
Different steps are required to install an IMPAX AS300 Server in different configurations. Details are
provided in subsequent chapters.
General installation notes for installing external software
Restart the computer whenever any installation package asks you to do so. For instance, during the
restart at the end of the Windows Server 2003 installation, the installation process registers files with
Windows and replaces some files. For your installation to work properly, make sure that if you are
asked to restart during the install, you do so before proceeding to the next step.
Setting up an AS300 single-host server
In a single-host configuration, Windows-based Database, Archive, and Network Gateway components
are all installed on one “box” or station. This is a summary of the steps to follow in setting up a single-host
station. You must perform these tasks in the order listed in the table that follows.
