The connection between the application software on the workstations and the estos UCServer takes place across network interfaces.
Type
The following network interface types are available:
IP address and port
Each network interface is linked to its own combination of an IP address and port number. The IP address is set by default to "all available". It is however also possible to select one of the determined IP addresses. A summary of the pre-set port numbers can be found in the chapter Network interfaces.

Changing the default port configuration is not recommended except the setting conflics with other software running on the system. If a port conflict accurs an error event appears in the event log of the estos UCServer. |
Encryption
The network interface can be configured in different security levels:
Default
Check this box if all connections of the actual network interface type are using these interface as standard.
Certificate for TLS connections
If the network interfaces shall be used encrypted a certificate is required.
Using the button Select certificate a certificate can be configured to be used by the network interface for authentication. If no certificate is offered the network interface can be used unencrypted or a certificate needs to be installed at the system. A short guidance around certificates can be found at the chapter certificate.
More information about certificates can also be found at the online help of the Microsoft® Management Console MMC Snap-in for certificates "certmgr.msc".
Using the button Delete certificate a selected certificate can be removed out of the list.
DNS name for the network interface
Please specify the name how the network interface is resolved at the DNS (e.g. machinename.domain.com). With the initial usage of the software a name is proposed to the user.
