Introduction
The Message Receiver is a high-performance HL7 network server. It supports concurrently data-receiving from multiple network clients, displaying detailed information visually about the client connections and their status. It is an ideal tool for HL7 network trouble-shooting.
The Receiver complements the Sender, and provides necessary controls features for easy and convenient network testing. I love to hear your feedback and to report any bugs. It’s again a freeware, you need to read and agree to the Terms & Conditions before download and use it.
Note the receiving port is limited to range 1024-65535. This is to discourage those “well-known ports” (range 0-1023) being used for HL7 communication.
- It has a small single executable, no install required.
- It handles multiple concurrent connection easily, and it is very fast.
- It implements MLLP which is compliant with the HL7 Standard.
- It displays the last message message being received, unless the navigation changes the currently indexed message.
- It can save the received messages to file.
- It is designed to provide the most convenience.
- It is free.
Customizable ACK
In your testing when using the Receiver, you can specify a customized ACK message for responding to the HL7 network client, such as when you’re testing an A19 response. The demo video below shows you how this can be done.
