Database Protocols
ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) is an open standard Application Programming Interface (API) for accessing a database. For ODBC databases, the following setup parameters are necessary for a successful connection:
1. Machine brand and model: This allows us to understand the type of machine being monitored or controlled.
2. Preferred name for machine: This allows us to name the data source correctly.
3. IP Address: Provide the static IP address of the database.
4. Port: Default value is usually 1433. If different, please send to the person implementing the connections.
5. Credentials: The database's username and password are necessary in order to connect.
6. Database name: Important parameter for correctness of the mapping.
If the database is not ODBC compliant, please consult your Ardexa Account Manager.
