custom data source. What to choose depends on your third party
program and/or the hard- or software you want to interface from:
Compatible: Factory default settings are enabled, echoes all bytes,
TCP and UDP, Ipv4 only, port 1234, no separator, local host only,
current code page encoding (ANSI). Compatible with XProtect
Enterprise version 6.0 up to 8.x, but not with 2013 and later
versions.
International: Factory default settings are enabled, echoes
statistics only, TCP only, Ipv4+6, port 1235, as
separator, local host only, UTF-8 encoding. ( = 13,10).
[Data source A]

and so on.
New Click to create a new data source.
Name Name of the data source.
Enabled
Data sources are by default enabled. Clear the check box to disable
the data source.

records. Default for data source type International (see Data
