The specification of important operational parameters, and if configurable, their default value and range, shall be specified here. The parameters that apply to all Application Entities should be specified in a "General Parameters" section while those specific to particular Application Entities should be specified in separate sections specific to each AE. The following table, which is shown here with a recommended baseline of parameters, shall be used:
Table A.4.4-2. Configuration Parameters Table
|
Parameter |
Configurable (Yes/No) |
Default Value |
|---|---|---|
|
General Parameters |
||
|
Time-out waiting for acceptance or rejection Response to an Association Open Request. (Application Level timeout) |
||
|
General DIMSE level time-out values |
||
|
Time-out waiting for response to TCP/IP connect request. (Low-level timeout) |
||
|
Time-out waiting for acceptance of a TCP/IP message over the network. (Low-level timeout) |
||
|
Time-out for waiting for data between TCP/IP packets. (Low-level timeout) |
||
|
Any changes to default TCP/IP settings, such as configurable stack parameters. |
||
|
Definition of arbitrarily chosen origins |
||
|
Definition of constant values used in Dose Related Distance Measurements |
||
|
Other configurable parameters |
||
|
AE Specific Parameters |
||
|
Size constraint in maximum object size (see note) |
||
|
Maximum PDU size the AE can receive |
||
|
Maximum PDU size the AE can send |
||
|
AE specific DIMSE level time-out values |
||
|
Number of simultaneous Associations by Service and/or SOP Class |
||
|
<SOP Class support> (e.g., Multi-frame vs. single frame vs. SC support), when configurable |
||
|
<Transfer Syntax support>, e.g., JPEG, Explicit VR, when configurable |
||
|
Other parameters that are configurable |
||
In particular when accommodating Multi-frame objects (e.g., Ultrasound Multi-frame, NM, XA, RF), a receiver might have a certain restriction with regard to its maximum length. This restriction should be specified here.
Additional configuration parameters such as hardware options for e.g., a printer shall be specified as well.
