-The configuration file is written in an INI file format and contains information
-about different connected passive nodes. Each passive node’s connection
-parameters are specified in a unique numbered separate section
-([PassiveNode{1,2, …N}]). Because TCP is the only supported communication
-channel, the IPaddress and Port of the Passive DLT Daemon has to be specified.
-
-With the Connect property it is possible to specify when the Gateway DLT Daemon
-shall connect to the passive node. The following values are allowed:
-- OnStartup - The Gateway DLT Daemon tries to connect to the Passive DLT Daemon
- immediately after the Gateway DLT Daemon is started.
-- OnDemand - The Gateway DLT Daemon tries to connect to the Passive DLT Daemon
- when it receives a connection request.
-
-The Timeout property specifies the time after which the Gateway DLT Daemon stops
-connecting attempts to a Passive DLT Daemon. If the connection is not
-established within the specified time, the Gateway DLT Daemon gives up
-connecting attempts and writes an error messages to its internal log. The
-following control messages are supported to be send to a passive node
-automatically after connection is established:
-- 0x03: Get Log Info
-- 0x13: Get Software Version
