HL7 TCP/IP Receiver
Features |
LINKTools® HL7 TCP/IP Communication Drivers communicate
with remote system through TCP/IP socket connections. HL7 messages can
be wrapped using HL7 MLLP protocols or user-defined protocols (headers
and trailers).
The LINKTools® TCP/IP HL7 Receiver is used to receive HL7 message
from the HIS or HL7 compliant systems.
Thee are two types of LINKTools® HL7 TCP/IP Receivers:
-
File-based Receiver: The Receiver receiving stream HL7 message from client, coverts HL7 message to file then sends HL7 ACK to client
-
Mapper-based Receiver: The receiver receiving HL7 message from client, processes the HL7 message
then sends HL7 ACK back to client
Features:
-
Sends and receives HL7 messages via HL7's Minimal Lower Layer Protocol (MLLP) over TCP/IP.
-
Supports non-standard, custom and user-defined headers and trailers.
-
HL7 Messages can be filtered by sending facilities, message types or by any of HL7 segment's fields.
-
Listens on any port number, LAN, VPN.
-
Error log and detail log file for interface trouble shooting,
-
Accepts all HL7 message types and automatically validates and sends standard HL7 message acknowledgements back to client(s).
-
Accepts multiple connections on the same port and route messages to user-defined destinations.
-
Accepts HL7 query messages and sends HL7 query response messages.
-
Can be configured for application level message validation.
-
Built-in firewall allows the receiver to accept message from allowed IP address only (up to 50 IP addresses)
-
Can be configured to receive non-HL7 message sends via TCP/IP user-defined protocols such as XML documents, Words documents, PDF documents, etc.
-
Reads, Writes and filters HL7messages to SQL database or LINKTools® internal intermediate database.
-
Runs unobstructively as service
