Configuration

Connections

HTTP Main Connection

This connector uses an HTTP connection and requires the following input during element creation:

HTTP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
  • IP port: The IP port of the destination (default: 443).

Initialization

REST API

The HTTP communication uses a REST API, which needs to be enabled.

On the device's web interface, make sure the Enable REST API option is selected under the general settings on the System page.

HTTP Credentials

The HTTP communication will not be up and running until the necessary HTTP credentials have been provided.

On the Credentials page of the element, the user name and password must be configured.

Web Interface

The web interface is only accessible when the client machine has network access to the product.

How to Use

REST (Representational State Transfer) calls are used to retrieve the device information.

HTTP Communication

On the HTTP Communication page, you can track the HTTP sessions used for communicating with the device.

This makes it possible to follow the communication flow and provides some useful statistics, e.g. request time, response time, time span (RTT), etc.

  • HTTP Sessions State: If you enable this setting, the active HTTP sessions will be tracked.
  • HTTP Sessions Max Count: This determines the maximum number of HTTP sessions that will be tracked.

Inter App

On the Inter App page, an overview is provided that allows you to track the inter application communication and the related handlers.

Inter App Communication

Overview of the inter application communication events and messages.

The state of a communication object indicates whether it is waiting to be processed, being processed, executed successfully, or failed.

Inter App Handlers

Overview of the inter application handlers of the received events and messages.

Every communication object is represented by a related handler. The handler is responsible for taking the necessary actions depending on the related communication object.
