Add a PORT connection

The server-specific configuration portion of the WEBSVC Communication Driver hierarchy tree under the OI Server Manager starts at the PORT Connection object. This object lets you set server parameters for communication with agents (devices) in the hierarchy tree (SOAP/REST).

By default, the installation of the WEBSVC Communication Driver has the port pre-configured. This step is only necessary if the port has been consequently deleted.

Add a PORT Connection object

1. In the console tree, right-click Configuration and then select Add PORT_WEBSVC Connection. The New_PORT_WEBSVC_000 object appears in the hierarchy.

2. Edit the object name to appropriately describe components of your specific hardware environment. If you do not rename the object at this time, a numeric sequencing system is applied. You can rename the hierarchy entry later.

   Note: The PORT_WEBSVC is the network card in the PC which communicates with the WEBSVC Communication Driver. No configuration is necessary for this node.

   Note: The default value of the Buffered Data (Maximum Queued Updates) in the Global Parameters is 100 for the WEBSVC Communication Driver.
