2.4.1AE Title/ Presentation Address Mapping

2.4.1.1Local AE Titles

"Workstation" uses the AE Titles and TCP/IP Ports configured by means of the "Workstation Service & Configuration Tool". The Field Service Engineer can configure the TCP Port via the "Workstation Service & Configuration Tool". No Default AE Titles are provided. The AE Titles must be configured during installation. The local AE Title used by each individual application can be configured independently of the AE Title used by other local applications.

Table 2.4-1: AE Title Configuration Table

Application Entity	Default AE Title	Default TCP/IP Port
Storage	No Default	104
Hardcopy	No Default	Not Applicable
RIS	No Default	Not Applicable
MPPS	No Default	Not Applicable

2.4.1.2Remote AE Title/ Presentation Address Mapping

The AE title, host names and port numbers of remote applications are configured using the "Workstation Service & Configuration Tool".

2.4.1.2.1Storage

The "Workstation Service & Configuration Tool" must be used to set the AE Titles, port-numbers, host- names and capabilities for the remote Storage SCPs. Associations will only be accepted from known AE Titles while associations from unknown AE Titles will be rejected (an AE Title is known if it can be selected within the "Workstation Service & Configuration Tool"). Multiple remote Storage SCPs can be defined. Any Storage SCP can be configured to be an “Archive” device causing storage commitment to be requested for images or presentation states transmitted to the device.

Storage Commit can be enabled or disabled.

The Archive Connection can be tested by means of a DICOM Ping (C-echo) test to the archive.

2.4.1.2.1.1Archive options

When sending images to an archive, this can be done by means of the following SOP classes: CR, DX and MG for presentation or DX and MG for processing. The latter is a RAW image, without any annotations or measurements burned in.

Image pixels can be sent in the requested output type (configurable) depending on the used SOP class and whether GSPS is supported or not6.

CR image, WITHOUT GSPS:

-8 bit OD

-8 bit OD Gamma correction

-8 bit P-Value

6anonymous archiving (i.e. without patient demographics) is not supported
