Configuration
Connections
HTTP 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.
- Bus address: If the proxy server has to be bypassed, specify bypassproxy.
Initialization
Specify the following input configuration on the Communication page of the element:
- Username: Name of the user used in the HTTP login operation.
- Password: Password of the user used in the HTTP login operation.
How to Use
REST API calls are used to establish communication with the device. For several of the tables, you can right-click the table to access a context menu that allows data manipulation and changes.
Certain settings, such as the layouts and channel configuration outside of the context menus, are stored on the Tag Sets page.
Note that SNMP traps are received via a hidden connection using port 162 in order to automatically update table information with new events.
