Have an issue with an older modality that uses "_" (underscore) in the ae title--
is there a work-around to allow for this, get the following in the error logs:

Only alphanumeric and dash characters are allowed in the names of the modalities

Hello,

This error is only relative to the symbolic name that is used by the API of Orthanc. The AET can be an arbitrary string.

For instance, this configuration is invalid (as “sample_” is the symbolic name):

“DicomModalities” : {
“sample_” : [ “ANY_SCP”, “localhost”, 2000 ]
}

But this configuration is valid (“ANY_SCP” is the AET):

“DicomModalities” : {
“sample” : [ “ANY_SCP”, “localhost”, 2000 ]
}

HTH,
Sébastien-

Sebastien,
I'm having a similar issue with the Orthanc AET using underscores.
Does the AET require alphanumerics only?
We are trying to replace an older dicom node and want to keep the same AET.

Rochelle

Installing a newer version has fixed my issue here.

Thanks
