DicomNet Office is an flexible DICOM database application (PACS) which support’s sending and receiving DICOM-Images over the network. Burning
CD-Medicals, viewing and archiving DICOM images in a SQL-Database. DicomNetOffice includes DicomCDViewer as external viewing application.

After acquisition store your DICOM images from DIANA to DicomNetOffice. Share your images across the network (DicomNetOffice workstations) or take them with you on your notebook (DicomNetOffice on notebook). Burn DVD’s for deep-archiving or burn CD’s for data sharing. Store your data back to any other DICOM-Server for clinical diagnostics.

Installation pre-requirements:

·        DicomNetOffice is a Microsoft .Net application written in C#. You need the .Net framework to execute DicomNetOffice.

·        DicomNetOffice is using Microsoft SQL-Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) to store the DICOM data. You have to install MSDE first before using DicomNetOffice.

Installing the .Net Framework V1.1:

·        Download the .Net Framework V1.1 according to your operating system language from Microsoft Inc.

or

·        Use one off the following setup’s from Quazar FTP server:

o       /pub/Diana/DicomNetOffice/uk/dotnetfx.exe (for english langauge).

o       /pub/Diana/DicomNetOffice/ger/dotnetfx.exe (for german langauge).

Installing the MSDE:

·        Download the MSDE installation package according to your operating system language from Microsoft Inc.

or

·        Use one off the following setup’s from Quazar FTP server:

o       /pub/Diana/DicomNetOffice/uk/msde.zip (for english langauge).

o       /pub/Diana/DicomNetOffice/ger/msde.zip (for german langauge).

Before installing the MSDE check the parameter section [Options] in the file “setup.ini” within your installation package. This file should contain the following parameters:

[Options]
SECURITYMODE=SQL
SAPWD=XXXXXX                     <<< password not shown on this page
DATADIR=D:\Dekom\PACS\Data\          
INSTANCENAME=DicomNet

You may want to change the DATADIR-parameter if you like to put the database images files to a different location. Also you can change the administrator password (SAPWD) or authentication methode (SECURITYMODE). If you made any changes edit the appropriate installations script files of DicomNetOffice before creating the databases (s. “Edit Database Creation Parameters (optional)”).

·        After MSDE installation has finished you have to start the database server

·        Check your startup-folder (autostart) an click on the database service manager

or

·        Re-boot your machine.

·        …

·        After re-boot you should find the database service manager in the system tray, showing that your database is running (Server: your-machine\DICOMNET, Service: SQL-Server)

Troubleshooting tip’s: - Try ip-adresses instead of machine name’s.

Installing DicomNetOffice:

Once all required pre-installation-steps are done, install DicomNetOffice (DicomNetOffice_x_x_x.msi).

If you changed any database creation paremeters. Don’t creat the database now. Proceed to the next step. Otherwise you are ready to execute DicomNetOffice, now.

Edit Database Creation Parameters (optional):

If you changed the DATADIR:

Please edit the “MedNetStoreVolume.sql” installation script file. It is located in the DicomNetOffice installation path (subfolder “Databases”).

Change the following line:

exec @err = storevolume null, 'D:\Dekom\PACS\Data\', 'D:\Dekom\PACS\Data\', 10000000000, 8000000000

(for example)

exec @err = storevolume null, ‘C:\Dekom\PACS\Data\', 'C:\Dekom\PACS\Data\', 10000000000, 8000000000

If you changed the SECURITYMODE and/or SAPWD:

Please edit the “install.bat” installation script file. It is located in the DicomNetOffice installation path (subfolder “Databases”).

Change the following line:

set server=127.0.0.1\DICOMNET
set uid=sa
set pwd= XXXXXX

(for example)

set server=127.0.0.1\DICOMNET
set uid=sa
set pwd=<your password>

If you finshed your changes. Execute the “install.bat” script to create the database. !!!! WARNING: All previously created “MedNet”-databases will be deleted on this server!!!!

Edit also the “MedNet.DataAccess.Config” if you changed the databse security parameters.  It is located in the DicomNetOffice installation path.
