Hi,

If you want the 4 orthanc to connect to each-other through the DICOM protocol, in the central server, you should:

  • in the “server” orthanc, add the AET, IP and port of the 3 other orthanc in the DicomModalities section of the configuration files
  • in each “client” orthanc, add the AET, IP and port of the central server in the same section.

More info: https://book.orthanc-server.com/dicom-guide.html?highlight=peering#parameters-of-a-dicom-server

Note that you can also connect the Orthanc servers through the Orthanc Rest API (https://book.orthanc-server.com/users/rest.html#sending-resources-to-remote-orthanc-over-http-https-through-orthanc-peering) or through dicom-web (https://book.orthanc-server.com/plugins/dicomweb.html)

Hello,

Regarding to OrthancPeers , is there a built-in retry mechanism ? What happens if the remote OrthancPeer is down for a short period of time(few seconds)?

Thanks!

No, there’s no built-in retry mechanism. However, you can still implement retries in lua in the OnJobFailure callback.

Note that there’s yet another option for transfers: the Transfer accelerator plugin which has some built-in retry mechanism.
