   int peerPort,
   DicomNetIpTypeFlags ipType

Parameters

hostAddress

The IP address of the Called AE computer (the SCU's address).

hostPort

The port number of the Called AE computer (the SCU's port).

peerAddress

The IP address of the Calling AE computer to which to connect (the SCP's address).

peerPort

The port number of the Calling AE computer to which to connect (the SCP's port).

ipType

The type of ip address supported (IPv4, IPv6, or both)

If hostPort is 0, the port number will be the number of the first available port. In most cases, 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 can lead to problems reconnecting. If you pass 0, then on subsequent connections LEADTOOLS will use the next available port.

To connect to an Calling AE as an Called AE, you must first create a DicomNet object. Then call Connect(String,Int32,String,Int32) to establish the connection.

To use your computer as an Calling AE, you must first create a DicomNet object. Then call Listen(String,Int32,Int32) to listen for incoming connection requests.

When an Called AE calls this method, it generates a call to OnAccept on the SCP.

This overload of the DicomNet.Connect method allows you to specify the type of Internet Protocol Version to use. Pass DicomNetIpTypeFlags.Ipv4 for ipType to support the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), which is the standard "dotted quad" 32-bit address format that has been in use since 1981. An example of an IPv4 address is 192.168.0.195

Pass DicomNetIpTypeFlags.Ipv6 for ipType to support Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6). IPv6 uses a 128-bit address format. An example of an IPv6 address is fe80::18bd:81f:6b02:759f

To support both IPv4 and Ipv6 addresses, pass DicomNetIpTypeFlags.Ipv4OrIpv6 for ipType.

If the call to Connect(String,Int32,String,Int32) fails, make sure that the IP address that was passed for hostAddress is a valid address that is accessible within your network. You can verify the accessibility of both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses using the Windows ping command. For example, to verify that 192.168.0.195 is accessible within your network, perform the following steps:

• Start command prompt, and type the following command
• ping 192.168.0.195

Note that the following are equivalent:

• Connect( hostAddress, hostPort, peerAddress, peerPort);
• Connect( hostAddress, hostPort, peerAddress, peerPort, DicomNetIpTypeFlags.Ipv4);

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
