promiscuous mode

How can I set Pacsone to promiscuous mode? I have not been able to find any information on that. Thanks once again.

It's not recommended to run a PACS server under the promiscuous mode due to the security risks involved (e.g., denial-of-service attacks, etc.). But if you are certain your network is secure and do not care about anonymous source AEs connecting to PacsOne, you can enable the promiscuous mode of PacsOne Server by setting the following Registry DWORD value:

Code: Select all

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\RainbowFish Software\PacsOne\${AeTitle}\AnonymousCallingAeTitle

Set the DWORD value to 1 and restart PacsOne Server. After that, PacsOne will accept association requests from unknown AEs, whether or not they are known to be safe.

On version 6.3.2 I am unable to get PacsOne to run in promiscuous mode.
Has something changed?

There is no change in this area in version 6.3.2, so what's the exact error you got when you said "I am unable to get PacsOne to run in promiscuous mode"?

I am getting a rejection from Pacsone. Pacsone will not accept any communication that is not registerd in the database.

Can you export the following Registry key into a "*.reg" file, rename it to "*.txt" extension and send it to mailto:pacsone@pacsone.net?

Code: Select all

HKLM\Software\RainbowFish Software\PacsOne\

Now I am getting ERROR - C-MOVE: Unknown Move Destination in P-DATA-TF PDU

The current implementation of Promiscuous mode in PacsOne Server only allows anonymous AE Title in the C-STORE command, but not C-MOVE. So it looks like we'll need to add this to the next release of PacsOne Server. Until then, you'll have to specify a known AE Title as the C-MOVE Destination AE in order to avoid such errors.

ok thanks

On another thought, it's actually impossible to allow anonymous AE Title (promiscuous mode) for C-MOVE, because PacsOne Server has to know where to send the selected Dicom images, i.e., you must configure the hostname/IP address and TCP port information for the C-MOVE Destination AE, because otherwise PacsOne Server won't know where to send the selected images.

I was only able to locate the registry entry under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\RainbowFish Software\PacsOne\PACS\ApplicationEntityTitle

That doesn't sound quite right to me, has the registry changed? Is there a new method to set promiscuous mode?

EDIT: Email sent with the relevant attachment.

Your Registry settings look fine as your assigned AE Title for PacsOne Server is PACS, so you should replace the ${AeTitle} variable in the example above with your assigned AE Title (PACS):

Code: Select all

HKLM\Software\RainbowFish Software\PacsOne\PACS\AnonymousCallingAeTitle

Add/set the DWORD value to 1, and restart PacsOne Server for the change to take effect.

Thanks for the speedy response, I will do so!

And I shouldn't be concerned that my path is in the "Wow6432Node" sub directory?
