Information network settings
1 Data
transmission
timeout
This value represents the maximum time, in seconds, that a connection will be maintained
with an external information host. If no response is received from an information host within
this time interval, for a specific message context from a device, Data Catcher will send a
NACK to the relative device and close the connection to the information host.
2 Multiple
external host
management
This option allows Data Catcher to act as a message branch, and forward device messages
to multiple external host systems. Each message received from a device will be duplicated
and sent to each host specified in this list. Each host has its own related configuration page
and information, and can specify separate IP addresses, payload options, and transform
sheets. The Add/Remove buttons are used to add new, blank host information pages, and
remove currently selected host information pages based on the displayed index.
Since a single device message can be branched to multiple host information systems, the
“Host Authority” option (XREF) allows you to specify how the responses from these hosts
should be used to determine the success state of the transmission.
3 Host authority This option identifies whether the currently selected external host should be used to
determine the success state of a data transmission or not. This is primarily used when
multiple external hosts are configured for Data Catcher.
4 File output This option specifies whether the output should be written to file instead of forwarded to an
external host, and to what directory the output file should be written.
