To receive images from modalities, it needs to register SonicDICOM PACS information to modality.
The required information is only three that are "IP Address", "Port Number", and "AE Title".
The following explains each information.

# 1) IP Address

IP Address is like home address or telephone numbers on IP network.

On Windows default setting, IP Address is configured automatically when it connects to a network.
