IRECTION KTI106052, REVISION 10 SERVICE MANUAL
Chapter 3 - Setup Instructions 3-109
3-11-1-3 Stand-alone Voluson i / Voluson e
If digital images or 3D/4D data sets are stored, they should be saved in Sonoview (Image Management
System software).
For Sonoview - Image Management functionality refer to the Basic User Manual of the
Voluson i / Voluson e portable ultrasound system.
Physical Connection:
No network connection needed.
3-11-1-4 Voluson i/e + PC (with 4D View Software) within a “Sneaker Net”
A PC (one or several with 4D View software installed) is used for review and work on studies acquired
on one or more Voluson i / Voluson e scanners without being connected in a network.
By means of Sonoview, the images are first stored on the Voluson i / Voluson e scanner’s hard drive
and then exported from the scanner’s hard drive to a sneaker DVD/CD, and finally imported from the
sneaker disk to the “4D View” PC’s internal hard drive.
For Sonoview - Image Management functionality refer to the Basic User Manual of the
Voluson i / Voluson e portable ultrasound system.
Physical Connection:
No network connection needed.
3-11-1-5 Voluson i / Voluson e and DICOM® Server on a Network
In this configuration, the Voluson i / Voluson e is configured to work with a DICOM® server in a network
environment. Usually, this will be the hospital network. Images are first saved on the local image buffer
on the scanner. At the end of the examination, the images are sent to the DICOM® server via a
DICOM® spooler. This scenario requires that the scanner is configured to be connected to the DICOM®
server.
Physical Connection:
You will need one network cable.
1.) Connect one end of the cable to the Ethernet connector on the Voluson i / Voluson e.
2.) Connect the other end of the cable to the wall outlet.
NOTE: If a Peer-to-Peer Network is connected to the hospital’s network, you may connect the
Voluson i / Voluson e to the Peer-to-Peer Network.
3-11-1-6 Voluson i / Voluson e used in conjunction with a Voluson Station with its own built-in NIC
Assign two IP addresses to the Voluson i / Voluson e and to the Voluson Station - one for the
Voluson i / Voluson e itself and one for the Voluson Station like 1.2.3.1 - Voluson i/e and
1.2.3.2 - Voluson Station. Then the system will seamlessly transition from one to the other when in or
out of the Voluson Station. However both IP’s would need to be accounted for in some customer’s
network with network access controls in place. Also both MAC addresses need to be accounted for in
the same situation.
