Parameters

Node

Remote entity name as IP address or resolvable name

Port

Port to connect to

CallingAET

Calling Application Entity Titles (AETs)

CalledAET

Return Value

Although in theory the remote entity may return a status other than 0 to indicate an error, in most circumstances (such as remote machine turned off), this method will fail with a trappable error, such as "Fail to connection at TCP level"

When certificate is used, a secure association will be attempted using TLS. If certificate is a valid x509 certificate, then user authentication will be used, but if it is null, then an anonymous client association will be attempted, which may or may not be accepted by the SCP.
