APPLICABILITY
For network security purposes IP Filters have been implemented from ADS versions 31.27 and above.
The final steps in the following procedures that use the
IPFreload.sh
script are only applicable for ADS
versions 31.27.
WARNING
From ADS versions 31.27 and above a normal ping from a remote host to the ADS computer will
result in host unreachable message. This is normal and is due to the IP Filters that have been
implemented from ADS versions 31.27 for network security purposes. However, a DICOM ping
from a remote host to the ADS computer will work, and it is recommended that you use a DICOM
ping from the remote hosts for testing purposes.
