Click the Administration tab.
Click the Settings tab.
Scroll to the DICOM server settings.
These are the server's DICOM SCP settings. To activate changes, edit the value and click on Save and Restart. Restarting the server may cause current uploads to abort. The DICOM server parameters are:
IP address (not configurable here)
TCP (non-secure) port number
TLS (secure) port number
Storage AE Title
Archive Query AE Title
Transfer syntax
PDU size
Association timers (send, receive, connection, wait)
Storescu flags
Query request case sensitivity
Empty matching setting
Query/Retrieve limit
TLS connections support the DICOM security enhancements protocol. To disable TLS or TCP (non-secure) connections, set the respective port number to zero.
A server has two AE titles. The Storage AE title identifies the entity that receives DICOM storage objects, echo requests, and most query and retrieve requests. For queries of the archive, use the Query Archive AE title, which appears on the list if an archive is configured. For eRAD PACS v6.0 and later, in which the storage and archive data are joined together, only the Storage AE Title is required. However, if a second AE Title is needed so a remote AE can both send to and query the server, the Archive Query AE Title can be used.
The preferred transfer syntax displays the requested DICOM transfer syntax used when communicating DICOM objects over an established association. Change the default by selecting the preferred value from the list.
The maximum receive PDU size shows the number of bytes the DICOM SCP accepts in a single DICOM PDU. Change the default value by selecting the preferred value from the list.
The timers tell the server how many seconds to wait for an action to complete. The timers have the following meanings:
Send timer - time to wait for acknowledgement of a send PDV.
Receive timer - time to wait for the next PDV to arrive.
Connection timer - time to wait for acknowledgement of an association request.
Wait timer - time to wait for the next C-MOVE response message to arrive.
The Storescu flags are passed to the application the sends DICOM objects to other AEs.
By default, DICOM queries are case sensitive. The server prefers case insensitive queries. To enforce case sensitivity of the query parameters, put a checkmark in the box.
If empty matching is checked, a NULL query response is considered a match, even if the request included specific matching criteria for that attribute. To set matching to fail on NULL values, uncheck this setting.
The Query/Retrieve limit is available to keep from overwhelming the server with the responses to query requests. If a query action receives more responses that configured here, the server cancels the request and ignores the remaining data.
Some of these settings can be customized for each specific DICOM device. See the DICOM device configuration information for details.
