Network Gateway
The Network Gateway is part of the IMPAX
cluster and may be housed on its own computer
or may share the same computer as the Archive
and Database Servers. Essentially this is the
workflow manager of the IMPAX system. The
Network Gateway controls the studies coming
into the cluster from an acquisition station,
validates these incoming studies against
information from the HIS or RIS, and routes the
validated studies to cache or archive.

non-jukebox archive
Functions much like a jukebox archive, except
that it has no mailslots or changer. In a
non-jukebox archive configuration, a volume
is considered to be offline when it leaves the
drive, whereas in a jukebox configuration, the
volume is considered offline when it leaves the
jukebox—either via a mailslot or by manually
reaching in the case and retrieving the volume.
O
OCR
Optical Character Recognition is the recognition
of printed or written characters by a computer.
If a modality generates images into the system
but not enough information about a study is
sent, OCR templates read information directly
from the burned demographics.
