Connections


A connection in TimeCraft represents an element to be managed. Connections can be added, deleted, modified, opened, refreshed, or closed. The connection item holds the communication parameter used to establish a connection to the element, including the address, type of element and user/password information. Connections can be accessed from the connection menu item and you can open only one connection at a time. For more information see the following sections:
