c-move exam calling aet

[Ruben Cruz]

Hello,

Does anyone know if it's possible to configure dcm4chcee-arc to use a different calling aet when executing a c-move request instead of the archive AET? We need to set a different calling aet depending on the move destination aet.

Thanks.

I just had to handle a similar request myself. You can use the Masquerade Calling AE Title setting found as an attribute on the Network AE Extension (https://dcm4chee-arc-cs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/networking/config/dcmNetworkAE.html):

1. Go to **Menu→Configuration**, then on _Devices_ page, use **Edit Device** ("pencil" icon) of dcm4chee-arc device.

2. Go to _Child Objects_ and select AE Title handling the move request from _Network AEs_.

3. Go to _Extensions_ and **Edit Extension** of _Network AE Extension_.

4. Under _Attributes_ on **Network AE Extension** page:

**Masquerade Calling AE Title** = ***\<ALTERNATE_AET\>***

**Save**.

Forgot to mention this should handle being able to define different alternate AETs per destination AET as described on the linked web page.

Hi Todd,

First of all, thanks for the help.

So, imagine that I have 2 different calling aets, for example, CALL1 and CALL2, my archive aet is DCM4CHEE and my destination aet is DEST1. How can I configure the 2 aets (CALL1 and CALL2) on the Masquerade Calling AE Title option?

Thanks.

I believe you would configure multiple Masquerade Calling AE Titles, so you would have two entries:

All other destinations would see the default AET (in the screenshot above that would be DCM4CHEE).

Thanks Todd for your help.
