switching gateway

[shadowdoc86]

What do you recommend for switching a gateway computer? We have updated our overall system and want to use a different computer and IP address as our gateway. We installed the gateway on the new computer and I have a new IP address. Do I need to delete the gateway from the first computer? Or, do we need to enroll as a different entity? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Steve,

If you plan to replace your OnePacs Gateway computer you can simply install the gateway on the new computer using the same AE title. You don't necessarily have to remove the original gateway but can do so through Add/Remove Programs. If the IP address of the gateway has changed you'll need to update the destinations in your PACS or modality(ies). Finally, if you have configured your gateway to download from the local gateway you'll need to update the IP address for the facility. To do so log into the OnePacs web application, go to Admin->Facilities, select your facility, change the local IP address, and save.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thanks,

Justin

Thanks Justin. We switched it and removed it from the first computer and all worked well.
