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.
    • This feature is supported from DataMiner 10.0.2 onwards for smart-serial elements acting as server. However, note that the system must be configured to support this encryption. See Enabling TLS encryption.
    • From DataMiner 10.0.3 onwards, this feature is also supported in case DataMiner acts as the serial client. No further configuration is required in this case.
