Output transport (Fig.4.3d) 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 debuging mode.
- Connect — operative state/command of the transport. Given the network nature of the transports, this state often involves connecting to a remote network node and accordingly reflecting the fact that the connection is present. For output transports, there is no need for the user to be obliged to set this state because it is used by an external entity of the communication protocols, often by the data sources, that try to connect the transport beforehand, so by establishing a connection for further exchange, moreover, the transport may be disconnected by that entity.
- Transport DB — the transport's data storage, with tracking the availability of the data in different storages and providing the sequentially removing duplicates.
- 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.
