OPV Dicom files from Zeiss HFA II

Hello community,

I am new to Dicom and Orthanc. We have a Zeiss HFA 745 in our practice and I am looking for a way to transfer the data to an Orthanc server. I have configured the interface on the device and on the server, but I get the following error message in Orthanc:

E0209 07:09:03.936219 DICOM-SERVER CommandDispatcher.cpp:285] Receiving Association failed: Unrecognized PDU type: 0
E0209 07:10:15.319964 DICOM-SERVER CommandDispatcher.cpp:285] Receiving Association failed: Unrecognized PDU type: 0

On the device:
Network Connection error 54.

Do you have any experience with the device and Orthanc?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Rob,

These kind of errors typically appear when something tries to access Orthanc on port 4242 with another protocol than DICOM (like HTTP) or maybe with DICOM TLS enabled instead of plain DICOM.

Any DICOM compatible device is supposed to work with Orthanc so you should also feel free to contact your Zeiss support - your probably pay them for that :wink: .

Worst case scenario, record the TCP traffic on the DICOM Port with tcpdump or wireshark and share it here but make sure not to share any sensitive information …

Best,

Alain
