Limited to 16 characters.
IP Address The IP (Internet Protocol) address for the server. See your System
Administrator to determine your IP Address.
AE Title Identifies the server application that receives the images from the

field must exactly match (including case) the Application Entity name
assigned to the server application.

Port Number The remote port on the server that is to receive the connection
request and the patient studies.

Test Used to test the connection once you have entered the configuration
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.
