  1. Connect to the Web-based User Interface (default URL is http://localhost:8080/dcm4chee-web/) of the archive using any Web Browser (most tested are Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer v6.x). You should get the User Login Screen. Login in using the default Administrator account admin, with password admin.
  2. Connect to the JBoss JMX Console (default URL is http://localhost:8080/jmx-console/) and login in using the default Administrator account admin, with password admin.
    Follow the link service=FileSystemMgt to the File System Management service configuration page under the dcm4chee.archive heading.
    Invoke the operation addOnlineFileSystem(), with a directory path argument specifying where the archive shall store received objects/images.
    Tip
    titleDefault Storage

    If no Storage File System is configured, the archive will auto-configure DCM4CHEE_DIST/server/default/archive as the Storage File System when the the first object/image is received.

  3. Optional: In the default configuration, received images are stored 'as is' - meaning that no compression is performed. Lossless (or other types of) compression of received uncompressed images can be activated by the CompressionRules attribute in the Storage SCP Service (service=StoreScp) configuration page. For example, set it to JLSL, to compress all types of images received from any Storage SCU with JPEG-LS Lossless codec.  See the CODEC section of the dcm4che14 wiki space for more info on available compression options.
  4. Optional: The directory used for caching generated JPEG representations of archived images requested by Web Access to DICOM Persistent Objects (WADO)can be specified by the CacheRoot attribute in the the WADO Service (service=WADOService) configuration page. Default: DCM4CHEE_DIST/server/default/wadocache.
    The directory used for caching generated PDF representations of archived Structured Report Documents requested by IHE Retrieve Information for Display (RID) Services can be specified with the CacheRoot attribute in the RID Service (service=RIDService) configuration page. Default: DCM4CHEE_DIST/server/default/ihe_rid_cache.
  5. Send some objects/images to the archive's Storage SCP, using the send utility of the dcm4che14 package, the dcm4che2 package, or another Storage SCU of your choice.
    Refresh the Web Interface (http://localhost:8080/dcm4chee-web/), which should now show the the list of received studies.
    Expand a study row to show contained series. Expand one of these series to show contained instances. In the case of images, you can follow the image icon on the right to invoke an HTTP WADO request for a JPEG presentation of this image which will be displayed in a separate browser window.
  6. To test object retrieval, you will need an external Storage SCP acting as the Destination using the DICOM Receiver utility of the dcm4che14 package, the dcm4che2 package, or another Storage SCP of your choice.
    Before initiating the retrieve, you will need to configure an additional Application Entity (AE) Title identifying your Move Destination using the "AE Management" function of the Web User Interface. For example:
    No Format
    AE Title: DCMRCV
    Hostname: localhost
    Port:     11112
    
  7. Switch back to the Study List (the Folder view) and mark studies to retrieve using the check box on the right. Select "DCMRCV" as the send destination in the combo box above and click on the send button left from it.
    Alternatively, you could initiate a C-MOVE with the utility of your choice with DCMRCV as the destination AE Title.
