PI Interface for TCP Response

Location2=11

  • Last UpdatedFeb 14, 2023

If Location2 is 11, the required keyword is DEVICE=. Its value specifies a Web page; for example,

DEVICE=www.mycompany.com/thePage.html

By default, the interface uses HTTPS to load the Web page. If you want to use HTTP, specify PROT=HTTP. For example,

DEVICE=www.mycompany.com/thePage.html; PROT=HTTP;

For HTTPS, the interface connects to port 443 of the remote device. For HTTP, the interface connects to port 80. To tell the interface to connect to a particular port number, specify it using the PORT= keyword. For example,

DEVICE=www.mycompany.com/thePage.html; PROT=HTTP; PORT=2080;

If the Web page requires username and password authentication, you need to specify three additional keywords: USER= , AUTH= , and REPLY=.

The USER= keyword indicates the username for the Web page. The interface sends the corresponding password from the pitcpresp#.password file, where # is the service ID of the interface. Please see the topic: Principles of operation for PI Interface for TCP Response for the format of this file.

The AUTH= keyword indicates the authentication type. Valid values are:

AUTH value

Authentication Type

BASIC

Basic

NTLM

NTLM

Separate multiple authentication types with |. For example, to use both Basic and NTLM authentication:

DEVICE=www.mycompany.com/thePage.html; USER=theUser; AUTH=BASIC|NTLM;

If the characters are not found in the first 1024 characters of the Web page, the interface writes Bad Input.
