Configuration
Connections
HTTP Connection - Main
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.
- Device address: The bus address of the device. If the proxy server has to be bypassed, specify BypassProxy.
Initialization
The connector requires the System.Web.Extensions.dll. Rename this file to SLSystem.Web.Extensions.dll and place it in the C:\Skyline DataMiner\ProtocolScripts folder on the DMA.
In addition, on the Security page of the element, you need to specify the Username and Password to communicate with the database using JSON.
