Modality Work List Server (SCP) is not responding occasionally

[steveyuan87]

Hi!

We have setup wlmscpfs to a GE imaging device. Most time it can query fine with findscu with a few keys such as PatientName. However, modality Work List Server (SCP) is not responding occasionally.

Here is the query ..

D: Constructing Associate AC PDU

.. and it just stop on the step of constructing Associate AC PDU without further moves. Generally, it should begin A-ASSOCIATE-AC.

As the problem happens occasionally, we have excluded the IP or port conflict. What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance. I have confused with it a few days.

If this is on Windows, I sometimes experienced that the cmd.exe window was the reason and hitting Enter in it helped. I think this only happens if the window is or was focused. I don't know what the underlying reason is, though. Also try option -dhl (on any OS) which avoids that DNS lookup runs into a long timeout. No other ideas right now...
