 Default: A check mark on the left side indicates which server is the default for
Auto-Transfer.
 Name: The name of the server that appears in the drop-down list of the patient
database
 AE Title, IP Address, Port, Max PDU: These are the settings of the destination
DICOM server; it‟s how the AX8 finds the DICOM server on your network. The
AE title and IP Address are unique to your network; contact your network IT
manager for these settings. The most common setting of Remote Port for DICOM
servers is 104, although your server may be different.
Testing the server: There are two tests to ensure that the server information is entered
correctly. Click on any field for a given server to make that server selected, then:
 Ping: A successful Ping means that the AX8 can communicate with the server at a
low-level; basically that the two computers „see‟ each other. As a security measure,
some servers on the Internet may be configured to not respond to a Ping even if the
connection is successful.
 Verify: A successful Verify means that the AX8 can communicate with the server at a
DICOM level; basically that the DICOM on both computers understand each other.
A successful Verify will typically mean that your DICOM configuration is correct.
