Some traffic sensor systems, such as CitiLog and Bosch, require a connection to a data source. Before you can monitor data from these units, you must configure the data source connection for the Traffic Sensor Management plugin.
Before you begin
What you should know

-
At the bottom of the Data source list, click
- Enter a name for the data source and select the Data source type from the list.

If you are configuring a CitiLog media server as a data source, in the
CitiLog media server section, configure the data source
connection:
- IP address
- IP of the CitiLog server in IPv4 format.
