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. Host IP
address This is the IPv4, dot-separated address for the external information host where device data will
be forwarded.
Note: The connection established with the information host is a standard TCP connection.
3. Host port This is the application port value available on the external information host that Data Catcher
will connect to.
4. Reuse
connections This option enables of disables the connection reuse algorithm. When this option is enabled,
messages from all devices to a single information host will be routed through a single,
established connection, synchronously. If no connection is available, a new connection is
established.
When this option is disabled, a new asynchronous TCP connection is established every time a
new data message is forwarded to an information host.
5. Send XML
payload This option enables the sending of WACP-formatted XML to external information hosts after
translating it from a binary form from a device.
Note: If an outbound XSLT file is specified, the WACP-formatted XML is translated using that
file and then sent. If no file is specified, the XML is sent directly without translation.
6. Outbound
XSLT The outbound XSLT field is used to specify the location of an .xsl file that will be used to
translate data from a device to the format accepted by the information host. You can browse for
an .xsl file, which will be copied and saved to Data Catcher’s own local storage directory
($DataCatcherDir\TransformSheets\Host0\).
All data collected from devices is translated from the native binary format from the device to the
XML format. At that point, the XML data is then transformed using the provided outbound XSLT
sheet, and forwarded to the specified external information host. This allows an administrator to
provide a specialized transformation sheet designed for the information host that will format the
data to fit the needs of the information host’s interface.
