    TESTING DICOM CONNECTIVITY

    You can use the dcmnet applications to help you test DICOM
    connectivity.  In the following steps it is assumed that you
    wish to exchange DICOM messages between a machine called host1
    and another machine called host2.  The prompt 'host1> ' in
    the examples below means that a command should be executed
    on the machine host1.

    Step 1:

    Make sure that basic TCP/IP connectivity is available.  Use the
    ping command which is available on almost all system.
    e.g.
    	host1> ping host2

    	host2> ping host1

    If you cannot verify basic TCP/IP connectivity then none
    of the following steps will work.

    Step 2:

    Start up a simple DICOM Storage/Verification Service Class Provider
    application.
    e.g.
    	host1> storescp -v 5678

    will start storescp in verbose mode listening on port 5678 for
    incoming associations.  storescp will never exit, it will continue
    to wait for new associations until terminated.  See storescp
    documentation for more information on the storescp application.

    Step 3:

    Start up a simple DICOM Verification Service Class User application.
    e.g.
    	host2> echoscu -v host1 5678

    will start echoscu in verbose mode.  It will attempt to build a
    DICOM association with an application running on host1 (attached
    to port 5678) and will send a C-ECHO request and await a C-ECHO
    response from host1.  See echoscu documentation for more information
    on the echoscu application.

    Step 3:

    Send a DICOM image to host1.
    e.g.
    	host2> storescu -v host1 5678 ctimage.dcm

    will start the storescu application in verbose mode.  It will
    attempt to build a DICOM association with an application running
    on host1 (attached to port 5678) and will send a C-STORE request
    containing the contents of the DICOM image ctimage.dcm and await
    a C-STORE response from host1.  See storescu documentation for
    more information on the storescu application.
