Static TCP Transport: Parameters Reference

The following tables describe the parameters specific to static TCP transports and secure static TCP transports in the configuration interface.

For web API access to transport definitions, see Transport Definition Objects.

Connection List

You must specify at least one pair connection triplet: host, port, and initialization mode.

In the web API, the hosts attribute contains a collection of these triplet objects.

GUI Parameter JSON Attribute Description
Host host Required.

For the host, specify an interface either as a host name or as an IP address.

Asterisk (*) is a special value, which designates all interfaces on the host computer (analogous to INADDR_ANY, but limited to TCP interfaces). This special value is available only with listen mode (that is, transports can listen for connections on all network interfaces, but they must connect to a specific interface).

Port port Required.

Specify a port number.

Mode mode Required.

You must select either Connect or Listen from the drop-down menu:

connect
The transport initiates TCP communication by sending a connection request to host:port.
listen
The transport listens for TCP connection requests at host:port.

For more information, see Listen End and Connect End.
