![]() If Atlas Copco Data Communication has already been installed, restart the AtlasCopco_DataCommunication service to activate the settings. |
Web API
Enables settings for the Atlas Copco Data Communication WebAPI Services to collect data over a web API with an option to host using HTTPS.
Verify the folder path for the Settings File.
Verify the Port Settings.
Enter the Web API Port number used for hosting the Web API without enabling HTTPS. The default port is 7110.
Verify the Log Settings, if required.

Description
Level
Indicates the level of detail in the information to be stored in the log.
Location
The target location for the log files.
To configure Web API for HTTPS, in Https Settings, ensure that the Enable Https checkbox is selected.
Enabling HTTPS requires a certificate to be provided in Security Settings. The certificate needs to be setup prior to installing the Atlas Copco Data Communication service. It will not be generated automatically by the service.
When using HTTPS, enter the External Web Api Https Port and Internal Web Api Https Port used for hosting Web API. The default port values are 7443 for external and 7111 for internal HTTPS ports respectively.
Review the settings and click Save.
On Premise
Enables the settings for the on-premise database. The Service will store the data in a local database.
Select Enable settings for on-prem database.
Select the Database Provider:
SQL Server
Enter the Data Source, the IP address for an SQL Server.
If the SQL Server is hosted on the computer running the installation, the IP address is
127.0.0.1.
By default, Initial Catalog shows the name of the database. This value cannot be modified.
Review the settings and click Save.

Select the checkbox Enable Unify.
Enter a valid License Key.
In Publishing Settings, the settings for MQTT and RabbitMQ can be configured. The settings define messages to be published to MQTT or RabbitMQ or both. The prerequisite for this is to set Topics in MQTT and Routing keys in RabbitMQ before configuring and starting the Atlas Copco Data Communication service.

MQTT Settings | ![]() MQTT broker must be installed before you can continue with the settings. ![]() MQTT Topics are used in the MQTT ecosystem for the broker to determine which clients receive specific messages. Enable Publish To MQTT Select this checkbox to publish data to an MQTT broker. By default, this checkbox is disabled. When enabled, more settings are available:

RabbitMQ Settings | ![]() RabbitMQ must be installed before you can continue with the settings. For more information how to install RabbitMQ, see RabbitMQ Overview. ![]() In RabbitMQ, exchanges are used as routing mediators that decide what messages are sent to a queue, multiple queues or discarded. Queues deliver messages to consumers using a FIFO model. Bindings are used by exchanges to route messages to specific queues. Routing keys in RabbitMQ are attached to exchanges to filter specific messages and route them to the bounded queues.

CDM Settings | The CDM version(s) of the messages that should be published. Applies to both MQTT and RabbitMQ publishing. The latest CDM version is selected by default. It is possible to select more than one version.
