| 3 Troubleshooting DICOM communications | |
| 4 ==================================== | |
| 5 | |
| 6 In general, communication problems between two DICOM modalities over a | |
| 7 computer network are related to the configuration of these | |
| 8 modalities. As preliminary debugging actions, you should: | |
| 9 | |
| 10 * Make sure you use the `most recent version <http://www.orthanc-server.com/download.php>`_ of Orthanc. | |
| 11 * Make sure the two computers can "ping" each other. | |
| 12 * Turn off all the firewalls on the two computers (especially on Microsoft Windows). | |
| 13 * Write down on a paper the following information about each modality: | |
| 14 | |
| 15 * its IP address (avoid using symbolic names if possible to troubleshot any DNS problem), | |
| 16 * its TCP port for DICOM communications (for Orthanc, cf. the ``DicomPort`` option), and | |
| 17 * its AET (Application Entity Title - for Orthanc, cf. the ``DicomAet`` option). | |
| 18 | |
| 19 * Carefully re-read all your configuration files. As far as Orthanc is | |
| 20 concerned, the most important section is ``DicomModalities``: Make | |
| 21 sure its content matches what you wrote on the paper at the step | |
| 22 above. | |
| 23 * In the ``DicomModalities`` configuration section of Orthanc, have a | |
| 24 look at the fourth parameter that can activate some patches for | |
| 25 specific vendors. | |
| 26 * Have a look at the following options of Orthanc to enable the more fault-tolerant DICOM support: | |
| 27 | |
| 28 * ``DicomServerEnabled`` must be set to ``true``. | |
| 29 * ``DicomCheckCalledAet`` should be set to ``false``. | |
| 30 * All the transfer syntaxes should be set to ``true`` (see the | |
| 31 options with a ``TransferSyntaxAccepted`` suffix). | |
| 32 * Temporarily disable any Lua script and any plugin, i.e. set the | |
| 33 options ``LuaScripts`` and ``Plugins`` both to the empty list. | |
| 34 * ``DicomAssociationCloseDelay`` should be set to ``0``. | |
| 35 | |
| 36 * Restart Orthanc with the ``--verbose`` option at command line, and | |
| 37 carefully inspect the log. This might provide immediate debugging | |

39 log <log>`. |
| 0 | 40 * Issue a :ref:`DICOM C-Echo <dicom-echo>` from each modality to make |
| 41 sure the DICOM protocol is properly configured (sending a C-Echo | |
| 42 from Orthanc Explorer is possible starting with Orthanc 0.9.3, in | |
| 43 the "Query/Retrieve" page). | |
| 44 * If the two modalities succeed with C-Echo, but query/retrieve does not | |
| 45 succeed, please carefully read the :ref:`dicom-move` section. | |
| 46 | |
| 47 As a last resort, please contact the `mailing list | |
| 48 <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/orthanc-users>`_ by sending a | |
| 49 detailed description of your problem, notably: | |
| 50 | |
| 51 * What fails: The sending of a file (aka. C-Store SCU), the searching | |
| 52 of a patient/study (aka. C-Find SCU), or the retrieve of a file | |
| 53 (aka. C-Move SCU)? Is Orthanc acting as a client or as a server? | |
| 54 * Describe your network topology, as written above on your paper (IP | |
| 55 address, port number, and AET for both modalities). | |
| 56 * Specify the operating system, the vendor, the DICOM software, and | |
| 57 the version of each modality. | |
| 58 * Attach sample DICOM files, possibly anonymized. | |
