##### E.4.2.1.4 Association Acceptance Policy

###### E.4.2.1.4.1 Activity - Print Server Management

###### E.4.2.1.4.1.1 Description and Sequencing of Activities

A remote peer DICOM Application Entity, acting as an Print SCU, establishes an association with the EXAMPLE-PRINT-SERVER-MANAGEMENT that accepts these Associations for the purpose of receiving images and image presentation related data for image processing and printing on a hard copy medium.

When an association has been established the Sequencing of Real-World Activities is as described in Section E.4.1.3.

The Print Server (SCP) AE may reject association attempts as shown in Table E.4.2-9. The Result, Source and Reason/Diag columns represent the values returned in the appropriate fields of an ASSOCIATE-RJ PDU (see Section 9.3.4 “A-ASSOCIATE-RJ PDU Structure” in PS3.8 ). The contents of the Source column is abbreviated to save space and the meaning of the abbreviations are:

1. 1 - DICOM UL service-user

2. 2 - DICOM UL service-provider (ASCE related function)

3. 3 - DICOM UL service-provider (Presentation related function)

Table E.4.2-9. Association Rejection Reasons

Result | Source | Reason/Diag | Explanation
--- | --- | --- | ---
2 - rejected-transient | c | 2 - local-limit-exceeded | The (configurable) maximum number of simultaneous associations has been reached. An association request with the same parameters may succeed at a later time.
2 - rejected-transient | c | 1 - temporary-congestion | No associations can be accepted at this time due to the real-time requirements of higher priority activities (e.g., during image acquisition no associations will be accepted) or because insufficient resources are available (e.g., memory, processes, threads). An association request with the same parameters may succeed at a later time.
1 - rejected-permanent | a | 2 - application-context-name-not-supported | The association request contained an unsupported Application Context Name. An association request with the same parameters will not succeed at a later time.
1 - rejected-permanent | a | 7 - called-AE-title-not-recognized | The association request contained an unrecognized Called AE Title. An association request with the same parameters will not succeed at a later time unless configuration changes are made. This rejection reason normally occurs when the association initiator is incorrectly configured and attempts to address the association acceptor using the wrong AE Title.
1 - rejected-permanent | a | 3 - calling-AE-title-not-recognized | The association request contained an unrecognized Calling AE Title. An association request with the same parameters will not succeed at a later time unless configuration changes are made. This rejection reason normally occurs when the association acceptor has not been configured to recognize the AE Title of the association initiator.
1 - rejected-permanent | b | 1 - no-reason-given | The association request could not be parsed. An association request with the same format will not succeed at a later time.

###### E.4.2.1.4.1.2 Accepted Presentation Contexts
