Adding datasource

To receive the data of your MindConnect Element you need to add a datasource. The

the asset inside of your network.
Requirement
● You have created an asset and an aspect.
● You have enabled the connection to the MindConnect Element.
● You have the IP address of the asset inside of your network.
