You can use the ClearSCADA Client Applet to change the configuration of an existing ViewX client - system connection. This is useful when you need to alter the way the client - system connection works, for example, you may need to reconfigure the port settings to avoid clashes with other applications.
The settings for a ViewX client - system connection work in exactly the same way as when used during the initial configuration of the client - system connection.
To edit an existing ViewX client - server connection:
- Display the ClearSCADA Client Applet.
- Select the client - system connection that you want to edit.
- Select the Edit button to display the ClearSCADA Client Configuration window (see Display the Client Configuration Window).
- Define the System Name and Type for a ViewX Client - System Connection.
- Enable or Disable Client Licensing.
- Define Whether the System is Visible in ViewX.
- Define the Node Name for a Client - System Connection.
- Define the Node Cost for a Client - System Connection.
- Define the Client Compression Settings for a ViewX Client Connection.
- Define the Port and Poll Timeouts and Intervals for a ViewX Client Connection.
- Define the TCP/IP Tuning Settings for a ViewX Client - System Connection.
- Change the Range of Ports for the Client’s Incoming Data.
- Associate a ViewX Client - System Connection with a Client License.
Alternatively, you can edit the Systems.xml file manually (see Use the Systems.xml File to Set Up a ViewX Client Connection).
