Mac OS Uplink Installation

1. Uplink Installation

Newer versions of Mac OS require Tricefy Uplink to be allowed to install manually. The following error will display when attempting to run the Tricefy Uplink installer:

  1. Download the Mac Tricefy Uplink => https://downloads.tricefy.com/tricefy_uplink/uplink4.pkg
  2. Go to System Settings
  3. Go to the Privacy and Security settings
  4. Scroll to bottom and select Open Anyway

2. Copy DICOM dictionary file into Tricefy uplink folder 

After installing and activating the Tricefy Uplink, the DICOM dictionary file may need to be manually copied into the Tricefy uplink's asset folder.

  1. Download the Tricefy DICOM dictionary file here: https://downloads.tricefy.com/tricefy_uplink/dicom.dic
  2. Copy the file into the folder ~/Applications/Tricefy_Uplink/config
  3. Restart the Uplink
    1. Open the "UplinkSettings" program in the Applications list
    2. Click the "Apply Settings" button (no need to make any changes)
    3. Enter Mac user password if prompted to restart Uplink

3. Uplink Firewall Settings (if needed)

If the ultrasound cannot ping/verify with the Uplink and the Mac OS firewall is enabled, you will likely need to add/allow the Tricefy uplink services to the Mac firewall settings.

  1. Network > Firewall > Options/Advanced > Add (+ icon)
  2. Navigate to Applications > Tricefy_Uplink > bin
  3. Add "boxComm" and "storescp" to the list with the "Allow incoming connections" setting
