3. Enter a path within the OPC UA server to restrict access to this path. The information is
optional. However, some servers only establish a connection if a server path is specified.
When you specify a path, it is automatically entered at the "ServerEndpointUrl" entry in the
configuration DB for the client interface. The entry then consists of the components "OPC
Schematic Prefix", "IP address", "Port number" and "Server path", for example:
"opc.tcp://192.168.0.10:4840/example/path".
The following figure shows the entry of the IP address for the OPC UA server:

4. If the OPC UA server is not using the standard port 4840, you must insert the port number
here.
For example, enter the number 65535 in the field, if the OPC UA server to which you want
to establish a connection uses this port number.
5. In addition, you accept the default settings for session timeout (30 seconds) and monitoring
time (5 seconds).
