1

Terminate the existing VPN connection to the local gateway (e.g., Lodi location).

This ensures all traffic will be routed directly to the Ramsoft cloud PACS server.

step
2

Fill out the Ramsoft VPN connection form to request a direct connection to the Ramsoft cloud PACS server.

This form initiates the process for establishing a new direct VPN connection.

step
3

Send the completed VPN connection form to your designated Ramsoft contact (e.g., Adrian or Ryan).

Loop in all relevant team members on a new email thread for clarity.

step
4

Generate a new pre-shared key (PSK) for the VPN connection, or request Ramsoft to generate one if preferred.

The PSK is required for secure VPN setup.

step
5

Share the PSK securely with your Ramsoft contact using a secure password sharing tool (e.g., 1Password).

Ensure the PSK is not sent via insecure channels.

step
6

Configure your site(s) to connect directly to the Ramsoft cloud PACS server using the provided VPN credentials.

All sites should point to the Ramsoft cloud PACS as the single destination.

step
7

Verify that all sites can send and receive studies directly to and from the Ramsoft cloud PACS server.

This ensures dual communication is established and functioning.

step
8

Document the designated technical and support contacts for both your organization and Ramsoft for future troubleshooting.

Keep this information in your local documentation for quick access.

step
9

If issues arise, open a support ticket with your internal team or Ramsoft, referencing the documented contacts.

This ensures prompt coordination and resolution.
