To configure a controller's connection, go to the setup panel of the relevant object and find the CommTask settings parameter group.

To configure the communication settings:

  1. In the Connection port field, enter the required port number. To find the required port number, go to the VertX / Edge ACS object's setup panel and find the Listening port field (1).
  2. In the Listen port field, enter a port number. This is the port for receiving messages from the HID Server (2).
  3. If you want to establish the connection immediately after the controller starts up, select the Connect on startup checkbox (3).
  4. If you want to maintain the connection to the HID Server, select the Maintain host connection checkbox (4).
  5. In the Reconnect interval, sec field, enter the time interval (in seconds) for reconnection to the controller if the connection is lost (5)
  6. In the Timeout, min field, enter a time period (in minutes). When this time period elapses, the system stops waiting for the controller's response and assumes that the controller is disabled (6).
  7. If you want to use encryption, select the Use encryption checkbox (7).
  8. In the Message response time, sec field, enter a time period (in seconds). When this time period elapses and no response is received from the HID Server, the system disconnects (8).
  9. Click Apply to save the changes.

The communication settings are now configured.
