5 Connect your modality to Orthanc
6 ================================
7
8 This section explains how to connect a modality to an Orthanc server.
9
10 First, retrieve the IP address of your Orthanc Server. Make sure
11 to retrieve the IP address of the correct network interface
12 (in this case ``123.124.125.126``).
13 You should also make sure that your firewall enables incoming traffic
14 on the DICOM port for that network interface (``4242`` by default).
15
16 Then, start Orthanc without specifying a
17 configuration file (i.e. using its default configuration). On your modality,
18 search for "settings/network settings" (exact naming is platform dependent).
19 You should find this kind of information
20
21 .. image:: ../images/ConfigureModality1.png
22 :align: center
23 :width: 500px
24
25
26 Write down the AET, IP and DICOM port of the modality (in this case,
27 respectively ``ECHO1``, ``123.124.125.10`` and ``104``).
28
29 Then, still in your modality network settings, you should find a panel
30 in which you can configure a PACS or a target DICOM Server. Enter
31 the following information (adapt it with the IP address of your
32 Orthanc Server):
33
34 .. image:: ../images/ConfigureModality2.png
35 :align: center
36 :width: 500px
37
38
39 Once you've entered this configuration in your modality, you might
40 have access to a "*Test connection/C-ECHO*" button to validate that
41 the modality can reach the Orthanc Server.
42
43 Then, stop Orthanc, update you :ref:`configuration file
44 <configuration>`, and declare your modality in the ``DicomModalities``
45 section, given the parameters you wrote down above::
46
47 // The list of the known DICOM modalities
48 "DicomModalities" : {
49 "echo1" : [ "ECHO1", "123.124.125.10", 104 ]
50 },
51
52 Restart Orthanc using this newly created configuration file, and
53 you will be able to send data from your modality to your Orthanc Server.
