Managing Edge Nodes

Edge nodes are imaging locations (clinics, scanners) that send DICOM studies to Bormell. Manage them from Settings > Integrations.

Edge Node List

Each node shows:

• Name and AET (Application Entity Title — the DICOM identifier)
• Status — Active (green), Inactive (gray), or Offline (red)
• Last Heartbeat — when the node last checked in
• Study Count — number of studies on the node

Adding an Edge Node

1. Click + Create Edge Node
2. Enter a Name (e.g., “Main Clinic CT”)
3. Enter the AET (e.g., “MAINCT”)
4. Click Save

Installing on a Remote Server

1. Click the actions menu on the edge node
2. Select Get Install Command
3. Configure options:
   • Enable MPPS (Modality Performed Procedure Step) — ON by default
   • Enable Storage Commitment — OFF by default
4. Click Copy to Clipboard
5. Run the command on the target server

Monitoring

The edge node list auto-refreshes every 60 seconds. Check the Last Heartbeat column to verify connectivity. If a node shows Offline, verify its network connection and that the agent is running.

Deleting an Edge Node

Click the actions menu and select Delete. This permanently removes the node configuration.
