property acceptor: ServiceUser

Return the acceptor ServiceUser.

property acse_timeout: float | None

Return the ACSE timeout (in seconds).

property assoc: Association

Return the parent Association.

property dul: DULServiceProvider

Return the DULServiceProvider.

is_aborted(abort_type: str = 'both') → bool

Return True if an A-ABORT and/or A-P-ABORT request has been received.

bool

is_release_requested() → bool

Return True if an A-RELEASE request has been received.

negotiate_association() → None

negotiate_release() → None

Negotiate association release.

Once an A-RELEASE request has been sent any received P-DATA PDUs will be ignored.

property requestor: ServiceUser

Return the requestor ServiceUser.

send_abort(source: int) → None

Send an A-ABORT request to the peer.

Parameters:

source (int) –

The source of the abort request

ValueError – If the source value is invalid.

send_accept() → None

Send an A-ASSOCIATE (accept) to the peer.

send_ap_abort(reason: int) → None

Send an A-P-ABORT to the peer.

• 0x00 - reason not specified

• 0x01 - unrecognised PDU

• 0x02 - unexpected PDU

• 0x04 - unrecognised PDU parameter

• 0x05 - unexpected PDU parameter

• 0x06 - invalid PDU parameter value

Raises:

ValueError – If the reason value is invalid.

send_reject(result: int, source: int, diagnostic: int) → None

Send an A-ASSOCIATE (reject) to the peer.

Parameters:

• result (int) –

  The association rejection:

  • 0x01 - rejected permanent

  • 0x02 - rejected transient

• source (int) –

  The source of the rejection:

  • 0x01 - DUL service user

  • 0x02 - DUL service provider (ACSE related)

  • 0x03 - DUL service provider (presentation related)

• diagnostic (int) –

  The reason for the rejection, if the source is 0x01:

  • 0x01 - no reason given

  • 0x02 - application context name not supported

  • 0x03 - calling AE title not recognised

  • 0x07 - called AE title not recognised

  If the source is 0x02:

  • 0x01 - no reason given

  • 0x02 - protocol version not supported

  If the source is 0x03:

  • 0x01 - temporary congestion

  • 0x02 - local limit exceeded

send_release(is_response: bool = False) → None

Send an A-RELEASE (request or response) to the peer.

Parameters:

is_response (bool, optional) – True to send an A-RELEASE (response) to the peer, False to send an A-RELEASE (request) to the peer (default).
