Add a DataLinq Server to a Local Inception Server

The DataLinq Server software runs on Ross XPression systems or on other computer systems to gather data from external sources. Before you add a DataLinq Server connection to your Inception Server, you will need the hostname or IP address of the DataLinq Server computer and the port number that it uses to output data.

When using an Inception Cloud Service, DataLinq Servers are configured on your Ross Cloud Gateway.
