'Declaration
 
Public Shared Function Echo( _
   ByVal Node As System.String, _

'Usage
 
Dim Node As System.String
Dim Port As System.Integer
Dim CallingAET As System.String
Dim CalledAET As System.String
Dim LocalIP As System.String
Dim value As System.Integer
 
value = DicomGlobal.Echo(Node, Port, CallingAET, CalledAET, LocalIP)

Parameters

Node

Remote entity name as IP address or resolvable name

Port

Port to connect to

CallingAET

Calling Application Entity Titles (AETs)

CalledAET

Called Application Entity Titles (AETs)

LocalIP

Optional Local IP Address to use for binding the outbound Socket

Return Value

Although in theory the remote entity may return a status other than 0 to indicate an error, in most circumstances (such as remote machine turned off), this method will fail with a trappable error, such as "Fail to connection at TCP level"

When certificate is used, a secure association will be attempted using TLS. If certificate is a valid x509 certificate, then user authentication will be used, but if it is null, then an anonymous client association will be attempted, which may or may not be accepted by the SCP.
