The interface provides the following features and configuration options.
TCP port list
Ports, on which ibaPDA waits for incoming connection set-ups. You can enter the ports as port range, as list of individual ports or as a combination of both. Enter a range with a hyphen. Separate non-consecutive port numbers with commas. The default setting is the range 5010 – 5017. The port number in the controller must be identical (see Configuration of the controller).

The list is only valid for the "passive" mode. It contains the port numbers on which ibaPDA is waiting for a connection set-up by the "active" partner. For active connections, ibaPDA can use port numbers that cannot be found in this list. These port numbers need to be enabled in the firewall of the connection partner. |
Network interfaces
Using this drop-down list, you can select which network adapters on your computer are used for this interface. The sockets will be opened for communication only on the selected network adapters. In case a network adapter has multiple IP addresses configured, a socket will be opened for all of these IP addresses. At least one network adapter should be selected to get the interface configuration validated. If you select None, an error message will be displayed when validating the I/O configuration. By default, the option All is selected.
Buffer size
The maximum data size of a connection is configurable. It should be between 1024 and 16384 bytes. Default setting: 4096 bytes
Allow ports through firewall
When installing ibaPDA, the default port numbers of the used protocols are automatically entered in the firewall. If you change the port number or enable the interface subsequently, you have to enable this port in the firewall with this button.
