System and hardware configuration

This topic describes the values and explanation of each parameter for system configuration and hardware configuration in Guided Install.

The MR System is configured for the various hardware interactions within the system using the Guided Install System Configure and Hardware Configure tabs.

Below are the examples of the System Configure and Hardware Configure tabs, respectively (these are only examples and are subject to change based on software revision).

Note: Time must be set correctly before rest of the configurations.

The following table provides guidance to fill out the various system configuration parameters.

System configuration
ParameterExplanationValue
Hospital NameEnter the name of the hospital or site that will appear at the top of filmed images.Site-entered
Suite_IDEnter the name of the suite to which the scanner will be connected. If the system is connected to a suite of systems, the name may need to be acquired from the site's system administrator. If the system is stand-alone (not connected to a suite or hospital network), the name is at the option of the installer.Site-entered
Host_IDEnter the name of the system host. If the system is connected to the site's network, the name may need to be acquired from the site's system administrator. If the system is a stand-alone (not connected to a suite or hospital network), the name is at the option of the installer.Site-entered
Unique / System IDThis is the GE CARES Unique system ID. This information is generated through the GEMS local area service manager. A dummy ID can be entered if the correct ID is unknown to speed up installation. The installer can go back and update this field with the correct code later when the correct information is known. An example of a dummy ID could be 123.Site-entered
Service IDThis is the GE CARES System ID. This information is generated through the GEMS local area service manager. A dummy ID can be entered if the correct ID is unknown to speed up installation. The installer can go back and update this field with the correct code later when the correct information is known. An example of a dummy ID could be 123. However it should be noted that the entire GE back office connectivity suite, including Remote Software Download (RSD), is highly dependent on this entry being accurate. Site-entered
Date FormatThis is the date structure to be used/displayed by the system. A choice of one of six options are available. Each with date format and standard time (AM/PM) or military time (24 hour clock).
