8. Connect to Modality

8.1 Check the required information

To start DICOM communication between SonicDICOM PACS and modality, it needs to register SonicDICOM

PACS information to modality.

The required information is only three parameters that are "IP address", "Port number", and "AE Title".

The following shows describing of each information and how to confirm these parameters.

(1) IP address: identification number assigned to a computer or other device that is connected to an IP

network.

IP addresses are like home addresses or telephone numbers on an IP network.

By default, Windows is set up to configure the IP address automatically when connecting to a network.

That means the IP address can be changed every time you start up the OS.

In devices that use DICOM communication, you need to set a fixed IP address to keep the address from

changing.

Please make sure you understand your network in order to properly configure your IP address.

If you do not understand, please consult your network administrator or another person who can assist you.
