End points of the OPC UA server

The end points of the OPC UA server define the security level for a connection. Depending
on the purpose of use or desired security level, you have to carry out the corresponding
settings for the connection at the end point.
Different security settings
Before establishing a secure connection, OPC UA clients ask the server with which security
settings connections are possible. The server returns a list with all the security settings
(endpoints) that the server offers.
Structure of end points
End points consist of the following components:
● Identifier for OPC: "opc.tcp"
● IP address: 192.168.178.151 (in the example)
● Port number for OPC UA: 4840 (standard port)
The port number can be configured, see "Settings of the OPC UA server (Page 164)".
● Security setting for messages (Message Security Mode): None, Sign, SignAndEncrypt.
● Encryption and hash procedures (Security Policy): None, Basic128Rsa15, Basic256,
