3-9-14-3 Verify the Network Connection to a Device
Follow the Steps Below to do a First Test (TCP-IP Ping) of the Connection
1.) Select the “Smiley” button to Ping the server.
NOTE: The smiley checks if the remote server is accessible (ping). It is not a DICOM Echo (DICOM
ping), so it does not check AE title or port number.
2.) If the network connection to the server is OK, it will be illustrated by a smiling “Smiley” .
A sad Smiley indicates that the network connection is failing.
Typical causes:
- Network cable not connected.
- Configuration error(s).

1.) Select (highlight) the device you want to verify the connection to.
NOTE: You can only check one device at a time.
2.) Select Check to start the verification process of the connection to the device.
The verification process may use some amount of time (several seconds).
When done, a Warning may be displayed on screen for some seconds. When the Warning has
closed, a sign is displayed in front of the device, indicating if the test passed (green check-mark) or
failed (red X).
