L_DicomConnect

Summary

Connects an SCU to an SCP. This function is available in the Medical Imaging Suite Toolkit.

Syntax

#include "ltdic.h"

L_LTDIC_API L_INT L_DicomConnect(hNet, pszHostAddress, nHostPort, pszPeerAddress, nPeerPort)

Parameters

HDICOMNET hNet

A DICOM Network handle. This is the handle returned from the L_DicomCreateNet function.

L_TCHAR * pszHostAddress

Character string that contains the IP address of the host computer (the client's address).

L_UINT nHostPort

Port number of the host (the client's port).

L_TCHAR * pszPeerAddress

Character string that contains the IP address of the peer computer to which to connect (the server's address).

L_UINT nPeerPort

Port number of the peer computer to which to connect (the server's port).

Returns

Value	Meaning
DICOM_SUCCESS	The function was successful.
>0	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

If pszHostAddress is " or NULL, the IP address will be the local computer's address.

If nHostPort is 0, the port number will be the number of the first available port. In most cases, you should pass 0 for this parameter. If you pass any port number other than 0, that port number will be used for the first connection and when you close the connection, LEADTOOLS will wait for the internal TCP timeout before releasing the port. This may lead to problems reconnecting. If you pass 0, then on subsequent connections LEADTOOLS will use the next available port.

To connect to a server as a client, you must first create and initialize a handle to the DICOM Network using L_DicomCreateNet. Next, set the callback functions you will use by calling L_DicomSetCallback. Then call L_DicomConnect or L_DicomConnectExt to establish the connection.

To use your computer as a server, you must first create and initialize a handle to the DICOM Network using L_DicomCreateNet. Next, set the callback functions you will use by calling L_DicomSetCallback. Then call L_DicomListen or L_DicomListenExt to listen for incoming connection requests.

When a client calls this function, it generates an ACCEPTCALLBACK function call on the server, provided the server has set the ACCEPTCALLBACK using L_DicomSetCallback.

L_DicomConnectExt and L_DicomListenExt support both iPv4 and iPv6.
