Configure the TOSHIBA (Xlink) protocol network between consoles and peers

Set up and verify the proprietary TOSHIBA-protocol (Xlink) network link that lets the Aquilion 16's image processing console exchange images and worklist queries with an external peer system (Anet, Asteion, or a like TOSHIBA-protocol device), using three purpose-built tools — a hosts-file entry, a computer-name/IP utility, and a typed-menu Xlink environment tool — and know the one rule that overrides everything else here: **this setting is only ever done from the image processing console.**

Applies to
Aquilion 16 (TSX-101A) — system software volume 2D260-074E*B, source p.108-116, source Chapter 8 "NETWORK SETTING," Section 8.1 "TOSHIBA Protocol Network Setting." Covers the proprietary TOSHIBA-protocol (Xlink) link between the scan console, the image processing console, and external peer systems (worked example in source: Aquilion ↔ Anet). Does not cover DICOM connectivity — that is the separate, immediately following Section 8.2 (source p.117-131; see Related, forward-ref, not yet authored).
Personnel
Basic to Intermediate — editing a plain-text hosts file in Notepad, filling GUI fields in a computer-name utility (NameChange2.exe), and driving a typed, numbered-menu command-line tool (_XlinkSetup.exe) from an X: prompt; no board-level work, no test equipment. The judgment content is procedural (do the two ends of a connection agree on IP/host name/Station ID/service roles), not technical skill. (Skill assessment derived from procedure content — not an OEM-stated skill level.)
