Click on Add…. The "Add Access Name" dialogue box will appear:
Note. If Add is selected, this dialogue box will be blank when it initially appears. Data has
been entered here to illustrate the entries that are made.
The following fields are required entries when entering an Access Name Definition:
Access Name
Enter an arbitrary name that will be used by InTouch to refer to the topic. For simplicity, it
is recommended that the name defined for the topic in SPA also be to be used here.
Node Name
If the data resides in a network I/O Server, in the Node Name box, type the remote node's
name.
Application Name
In the Application Name box, type the actual program name for the I/O Server program
from which the data values will be acquired. In case the values are coming from the SPA
Server the SPA is used. Do not enter the .exe extension portion of the program name.
Topic Name
Enter the name defined for the topic in the SPA Server to identify the topic the SPA
Server will be accessing. The Topic Name is an application-specific sub-group of data
elements. In the case of data coming from a SPA Server program, the topic name is the
exact same name configured for the topic in the SPA Server.
Note: This will usually be the same as the "Access Name", although, if desired, they may
be different. However, it must be the same name used when the topics were configured
in section Configuring the SPA Server.
Which protocol to use
Select the protocol (DDE or SuiteLink) that you are using.
