Conguring a DICOM Storage Commitment Server

1. Go to SETUP / SETTINGS / DICOM / STORAGE COMMITMENT.
2. Select NEW.
3. Enter the DICOM Storage Commitment information as described in the following table.
DICOM Storage Commitment Fields
Field Description
Alias Name you dene for the Storage Commitment Server.
Limited to 16 characters.
IP Address The IP address of the Storage Commitment Server.
AE Title Identies the server application that receives storage commitment
messages from the ACUSON Freestyle. The alphanumeric characters
entered in this eld must exactly match (including case) the Application
Entity name assigned to the server application.
Limited to 16 characters; cannot include the period (“.”) character.
Port Number The remote port on the server that is to receive the storage
commitment messages.
The default is port 104.
Test Used to test the connection once you have entered the conguration
data. You can test using either Ping or C-Echo (DICOM Verify). Ping
tests the connection across the network; C-Echo additionally tests that
the DICOM server is active.
For security reasons, some network and network servers are set up
not to respond to Ping or C-Echo commands. Check with your IT
department or PACS Administrator to determine how your network
handles these functions.
NOTE: If you enable Storage Commitment but your DICOM server does not support
this feature, the system will not perform the Storage Commitment function.
It can take several minutes for the Storage Commitment Server to respond to a storage
commitment request. During that time, any other transfers that have been lined up will
continue.
