Configuring Communication Connections

This chapter explains the following:

SThe general aspects of configuring communication connections

SHow to configure ISO transport connections, ISO-on-TCP and TCP connections

SHow to use the connection configuration functions to specify communication

partners that exchange data via UDP

You will find a description of the connection-specific properties dialogs in the

following sections:

SISO transport connections see Section 4.4

SISO-on-TCP connections see Section 4.5

STCP connections see Section 4.6

SUDP see Section 4.7

You will find further information in the following sources:

SFor the properties of the configurable connection types, refer to Section 1.5.

SFor the properties of the configurable connection type E-mail, refer to /5/.

SYou will find information on the numbers of connections and amounts of data in

Section 3.1.

SFor information on configuring connections, refer to the online help of STEP 7
