To receive HL7 messages over TCP/IP you need what's known as HL7 TCP/IP Listener software (HL7 Receiver).

HL7 listener software runs on your computer/server and opens up a specified IP 'port' number and 'listens' for HL7 message data to be sent to it by another HL7 message sending application. When you install the HL7+ Client Console on a computer/server all of the features are automatically installed as well. This means that every HL7+ Client will have the UltraPort HL7 Listener for HL7+ installed and available for you to use. Just add 1 or more Inbound Ports to your HL7+ Client Installation and you're done.

 Our HL7 TCP/IP Listener has many great features including:

• Can be run as a MS Windows service OR as a desktop application
• Easy to use. Configure and start running in minutes
• MSH Validation and custom negative acknowledgements (NAKS)
• Free monitor application
• Free HL7 Router (Sender) simulator application
