For Security Center to communicate with a Traka system, you must provide the URL of the Traka Integration Engine and specify the communications ports.

What you should know

Communication between the plugin and the Traka system does not protect the integrity and confidentiality of data. As a best practice, deploy the plugin on the same subnet as the third-party Traka system, within a closed network.

Procedure

  1. In Config Tool, open the Traka Asset Management plugin role.
  2. In the Plugins task, select the plugin role from the entity browser, and click the Properties tab.
  3. Configure the following:
    URL
    The Web address for the Traka Integration Engine. This URL contains the host name of the computer that hosts the Traka Integration Engine Service and the communication port number. The default port number is 10700. A URL that contains the server's IP address is invalid and won't work. Example: http://MyTrakaServerHostname:10700/
    Plugin host
    The IP address or host name of the Security Center server that hosts the Traka Asset Management plugin role. If the Traka system and plugin server are in different IP networks, enter the public-facing address.

    The following images provide examples of how you might set the plugin host when the Security Center plugin role and the Traka system are in the same network, and when they are in different networks.

    Events port
    The port number used by the Traka Integration Engine Service to send events over the IP network. This port number is different from the port referred to in the URL. The default is 10800.
    Time zone
    The time zone from which Security Center receives events. This must match the time zone setting of the system that is running the Traka Integration Engine Service.
    NOTE: By default, the time zone is set to match the directory server.
  4. Click Apply.
  5. Click Test connection to confirm that the plugin role can communicate with the Traka Integration Engine.
  6. If you get a message that the plugin is unable to communicate with the Traka Integration Engine, do the following:
    1. Deactivate the plugin role.
    2. Activate the plugin role.
    3. Wait a few minutes, then test the connection again.
