11. INSITE CONNECTION
A broadband Internet connection or a Dedicated Service Network must be provided for access to Insite
services.
There are currently three main methods of providing this connection. Either Virtual Private Network
(VPN) tunneling on a broadband Internet connection, or a Dedicated Service Network as follows:
•
Site to Site VPN (GE Solution) : using an analog or digital broadband router supplied by GE.
•
Site to Site VPN (Customer Solution) : using an analog or digital broadband router and infrastructure
supplied by the customer.
•
Dedicated Service Network provided by the country local health service (if available) (e.g. NHSnet/
N2/N3 in the UK, SJUnet in Sweden, and Sescam in Spain).
More information can be found in the Insite Pre-Installation Manual 2327624-100 and the Broad Band
(BB) Solutions Catalogue. You can download this from the
OTR & Sales

(GEMS SSO login credentials required).
Note:
The Insite Pre-Installation Manual and the BB Solutions Catalogue are only available via the
GEMS Intranet. If a customer require these documents then GEMS personnel can provide the cus-
tomer with these documents at request. In the Americas region, only the Site to Site VPN (Cus-
tomer Solution) is possible.
12. NETWORKING CONNECTIONS
•
The Control Station and any optional equipment provided are to be connected together as a hospital
network.
•
Before installation, the following information must be obtained for each network host so that it can be
addressed by the AWS:

Mass Archiver, Laser Printer, HIS/RIS network kit, CAD (Computer Aided Detection).
