Set IOChannel
connection-method
The connection-method is one of the following:
z
Client-Initiated—When specified, the channel/serial signal pin will wait for
connections to be initiated by another I/O channel or a TCP/IP application.
z
Server-Initiated—When specified, the channel/serial signal pin initiates
communication to another I/O channel or a TCP/IP application.
z
Local-Connection—When specified, the input or output, depending on how the
channel or serial signal pin is configured, will be associated with another local
channel or serial signal pin is configured, will be associated with another local
IOLAN I/O channel or serial signal pin.
