Uplink Port & IP Address

When we configure our ultrasound system, the first thing we do is enter the IP address and port number of the computer running Uplink. This information tells the ultrasound system where to send exam data.

Port Number and IP Address

The port is determined when the Uplink software is installed.

  • If the computer is using DICOM software, such as ViewPoint, the port is most likely be 105
  • If the computer is not using DICOM software, the port is most likely 104.

After Uplink was installed, the IP address and port number are displayed in a dialog box:

This information is also displayed in Step 2 of the Getting Started screen:

Account Settings

If you are setting up additional machines or new machines, the Account Administrator can also find the port and IP address within the Account Settings:

1) Select the User Menu at the top of the screen and choose Accounts:

2) Select the appropriate account shown under Account Name:

3) Uplinks are listed with their respective IP address and port number.  If there are multiple Uplinks, you may have to try each IP address to determine which one to use for your system.
