Each transport contains its own generic configuration dialogues in the tab "Transport" and "Additional". The "Transport" tab contains basic transport settings. Input transport (Fig.4.3c) contains:
- Section "State" — contains the settings that characterize the state of the transport:
- Status — information on the current transport's status and statistics of its work. Most modules provide advanced diagnostics in this field when enabled with the debugging mode.
- Connect — operative state/command of the transport.
- Storage — the transport's data storage, with tracking the availability of the data in different storages and providing the sequentially removing duplicates.
- Active connections — active and actual connections list of the input transport.
- Section "Configuration" — directly contains the configuration fields:
- Identifier — information on the transport's identifier.
- Name — specifies the transport's name.
- Description — brief description of the transport and its appointment.
- Address — transport address in a specific type of transport (module) format. Description of the format of the address of the transport, as a rule, is available in the tooltip for this field.
- Transport protocol — indicates the transport protocol modules (the subsystem "Transport protocols") those should work in conjunction with the input transport. That is, received unstructured data this module will sent to the structuring and processing to the specified modules of the transport protocol.
- To connect — indicates the state/command "Connect", in which to transfer the transport at startup.
