Connection table

Connection records are used to define connections that are used to communicate with remote devices. Connection records are located in the Connection table and are configured using the connection Row Edit dialog box.

A connection is a communication channel from the host to a remote. In Omnicomm-specific terms, a connection is a successful TCP/IP connection between Omnicomm and a terminal server port.

Communication lines, which are managed by one or more Omnicomm processes, move data between the host computer and the remote. Omnicomm processes are responsible for initiating queries and moderating the communication medium. The associated connection record defines the parameters for the communication lines.

Before configuring the Connection table, ensure that the appropriate entries exist in the host file of the RealTime services computer for the physical host that the connection will use. For more information, refer to Connection Row Edit: Physical Connection Edit tab.
