Second (alias) AET for Orthanc?

General

Hi,

I am a DICOM newbie. However, I successfully setup an Orthanc server. :slight_smile:

Now I face a problem to connect a Zeiss Visucam over Zeiss Network Broker to Orthanc. The Network Broker categorically demands a different calling AET for MWL and storage!

Does anybody have an idea how to solve this? I would not like to specifically setup a second Orthanc server which is dedicated to storage only. Is itmpossible to create something like a second or alias AET für Orthanc?

Than you for any ideas.

Tobias

Hi @Graefe

By default, Orthanc does not actually check its CalledAET:

// Check whether the called AET corresponds to the AET of Orthanc
// during an incoming DICOM SCU request
"DicomCheckCalledAet" : false,

So, you can basically configure ORTHANC and ORTHANCMWL in your Zeiss device and Orthanc should accept both connections.

Hope this helps,

Alain.

Hi Alain,

This information is very interesting for me. This means that there is another (non-DICOM) problem which prevents the device to work properly as storage-scu.

Thank you!
