MIRC Installation
The MIRC system, developed by RNSA, was designed to allow for the creation of teaching files and other educational documents to be put on a webserver and accessed via a web browser. The server software is free and easy to install. Instructions are available at http://mirc.rsna.org
RadPix can be used to author teaching files and other educational documents which can then be uploaded to a MIRC server. Additionally, RadPix allows the user to save a copy of the image and text data on the local PC as both an archive and also for use when the computer is not connected to the Internet.
- MIRC Configuration
- Install RadPix
- If both RadPix and MIRC are installed on the same computer, the uploading of image cases can be done immediately.
- To configure RadPix to upload to a different computer or webserver, load Power 2 MIRC or RadPix MIRC Authoring Tool, then select Edit / Preferences from the pull down menu.
- Enter the base MIRC server URL. If the MIRC server is installed on the same PC, use http://127.0.0.1.8080 where 8080 is the port number. Then enter the MIRC Storage Service anme (default is mircstorage). Then click Validate MIRC Server. This will test if the MIRC server address is valid.
