TCP/IP and UDP/IP connections

For TCP/IP or UDP/IP connections, you can specify the following connection settings while creating or editing an element:

• IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.

• IP port: The IP port of the destination. This is not always required.

• Bus address: The bus address of the device. This is not always required.

• Network: The network interface (NIC). If only one network interface is available on the DMA, it is automatically selected.

• SSL/TLS: Select this checkbox to enable SSL/TLS encryption (for TCP/IP connections only).

  Note

  • TLS elements and non-TLS elements sharing the same TCP/IP port is not supported.
  • To use this feature for smart-serial elements acting as server, the system must be configured to support this encryption. See Enabling TLS encryption.
