- Use the up/down buttons to enter the connection line's TCP-connection port in the Port field (see Fig. 2.3—3, 2).
Note: A controller connected as a TCP server uses the connection line to listen for messages from devices. A controller connected as a TCP client uses the connection line to send messages about its presence.
- Click the Apply button.
This completes the configuration of the KeyKing connection line.
