To forbid connections where the `-aec` (Application Entity Title of the remote DICOM server) does not correspond to the AET of Orthanc, the [configuration option](http://book.orthanc-server.com/users/configuration.html) `DicomCheckCalledAet` has to be set to `true`. Here is a sample session with this option enabled:
```
$ echoscu -v localhost 4242 -aec ORTHANC
I: Requesting Association
I: Association Accepted (Max Send PDV: 16372)
I: Sending Echo Request (MsgID 1)
I: Received Echo Response (Success)
I: Releasing Association
$ echoscu -v localhost 4242 -aec WRONG_ORTHANC
I: Requesting Association
F: Association Rejected:
F: Result: Rejected Permanent, Source: Service User
F: Reason: Called AE Title Not Recognized
$ findscu -P -k QueryRetrieveLevel=STUDY localhost 4242 -aec WRONG_ORTHANC
E: Association Rejected:
E: Result: Rejected Permanent, Source: Service User
E: Reason: Called AE Title Not Recognized
$ storescu localhost 4242 xr_hands.dcm -aec WRONG_ORTHANC
F: Association Rejected:
F: Result: Rejected Permanent, Source: Service User
F: Reason: Called AE Title Not Recognized
```
The `DicomCheckCalledAet` configuration option has been around since the very first releases of Orthanc. I will discuss the `-aet` (AET of the local DICOM client) part together with the IP addresses below. |
