About this task

Software version PX29.0 introduces support for DICOM networking over encrypted TLS connection. A TLS connection is established through the use of certificates. To establish an encrypted DICOM TLS connection, see Importing and exporting TLS certificates.

DICOM networking covers the following components. All of these components can be configured to use either unsecured or secured protocol for data transfer:

While configuring DICOM TLS networking, please note that this procedure cannot be used in unison.

Since DICOM TLS networking requires the install and configuration of public/private keys and certificates, you would need to switch back and forth between this procedure and the Certificate Management service procedures based on the component being configured and how it is being configured.
