1. Locate the DICOM Configuration screen (sometimes also called the "Device" or "Device Setup" screen)
2. Select the Add or New button and choose Worklist from the Services drop-down menu
3. Enter the following information:
- AE Title = Worklist
- IP Address = Enter the IP address of the Uplink computer *
- Port = Enter the installation port (often 104 or 105) *
**You can view the IP address and installation port within your Uplink Account Settings
4. Select Save
Your worklist is active once the athena automation rule is configured.
