DICOM Sender

The DICOM Sender transmits messages to a remote DICOM peer using the DIMSE protocol. Each send uses a configured DICOM Connection for the peer's host, port, AE title, TLS settings, timeouts, and supported presentation contexts; the sender itself only adds the local AE title and per-destination threading and acknowledgement options.

AE Title

The Local AE Title that QIE presents to the remote peer as the calling AE. Combined with the calling host and port, this identifies QIE on the association.

Connection

Selects the DICOM Connection that defines the peer (called AE title, host, port, TLS, timeouts, presentation contexts, etc.). Connections defined in the channel's zone and in the Global Zone are available.

Send multiple messages simultaneously

Limits how many concurrent worker threads the sender uses for this destination. When set, the sender opens up to that many parallel associations to the peer to send messages in parallel. Defaults to 1 (single-threaded).

Acknowledgement, Error Management, Endpoint ID, Notes

These fields are common across destination types. See Destination Nodes for the shared parameters and acknowledgement options.
