3.3.3 Adding connections

You can only perform this task when logged into the Active Primary SDS.

1. Select SDS, and then Configuration, and then Connections.
2. Click Insert.
3. Enter a system ID in the System ID field.
4. Enter a unique IP address for the connection in the IP Address field.
5. Select the permissions level for the connection from the Permissions list.
   • Select READ_ONLY to grant read-only access for the client with this connection. This is the default.
   • Select READ_WRITE to grant read and write access for the client with this connection.
6. Perform one of the following:
   • Click OK to save the connection and return to the SDS configuration connections page.
   • Click Apply to save the connection and remain on this page.
   • Click Cancel to return to the SDS Configuration Connections page without saving the changes.
   If field validations succeed, the connection is saved. If OK or Apply is clicked and any of the following conditions exist, an error message appears:

   • Any required field is empty; no value was entered or selected
   • The entry in any field is not valid (wrong data type or out of the valid range)
   • The IP Address is not unique; it already exists in the system
