Hello!

According to the documentation at https://book.orthanc-server.com/integrations/modality.html?highlight=modality

If I want a computer (A) and a DICOM Server (B) to communicate, the DICOM server must add the computer (A) to its DicomModalities list in the config file.

Is there a way to… not do that? Meaning I just want computer (A) to send files to the DICOM server for example. My issue is that, in some cases, I don’t have the IP address of the computer (A) or it might change. And I want any device, connected to the network, to send DICOM files to the DICOM Server (B).

Thanks!

Hello,

This is how DICOM C-MOVE works: (A) must know (B), and (B) must also know (A) for this command to succeed. This topic is covered in the Orthanc Book:

I guess you are actually more interested in DICOM C-GET, that is available since Orthanc 1.7.0:

HTH,
