    Parameters

    Port

    The TCP port on which to receive connections

    Address

    IP address to listen on

    Remarks

    This is the secure equivalent of the Listen method.

    Different ports must be used for secure and non-secure associations, as the security negotiation occurs before DICOM negotiation.

    More than one port may be active simultaneously. The listening sockets are all closed when the control is de-activated.

    Closing a �listening� socket has no effect on currently active associations that connected via that socket.

    If the IP address is used, then Address must be either in dotted form, or a resolvable name.

    Requirements

    Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
