3 Mirth Connect TCP Channel Creation Overview

Notes:

To create a TCP/IP connection in Mirth Connect, you can follow these step-by-step instructions:

Step 1: Open Mirth Connect Administrator:

Step 2: Navigate to Channels:
In the Mirth Connect Administrator, click on the "Channels" tab located in the top navigation menu.

Step 3: Create a New Channel:
Click on the "Create New Channel" button to start creating a new channel.

Step 4: Define Basic Channel Settings:
Provide a name and a brief description for your channel. Select an appropriate "Channel Type" based on your requirements. For a TCP/IP connection, choose "Source" or "Destination" depending on whether you want to receive or send data via TCP/IP.

Step 5: Configure Source or Destination:
If you selected "Source" in the previous step, you need to configure the source settings. If you chose "Destination," you will configure the destination settings. For a TCP/IP connection, you will configure the appropriate settings accordingly.

Step 6: Set Source or Destination Type:
In the source or destination settings, choose "TCP Listener" or "TCP Sender" depending on your use case. This selection determines whether you are receiving or sending data over TCP/IP.

Step 7: Configure TCP Listener or TCP Sender Settings:
Provide the necessary details for the TCP/IP connection. This includes specifying the host address, port number, and any other relevant options such as encoding or SSL settings.

Step 8: Save and Deploy the Channel:
Once you have configured the TCP/IP settings, click on the "Save" button to save your channel configuration. Then, click on the "Deploy Channel" button to deploy the channel and make it active.

Step 9: Test the TCP/IP Connection:
After deploying the channel, you can test the TCP/IP connection by sending or receiving data using the specified TCP/IP settings. Monitor the channel's status and message logs in the Mirth Connect Administrator to ensure that the TCP/IP connection is functioning as expected.

By following these steps, you should be able to create a TCP/IP connection in Mirth Connect and utilize it for data exchange over the network.

Hi Rohit, the hl7 samples files are not downloadable. Please advise how to get them.

I have a quick question, I am hoping you can answer. When I test connection from the mirth connect destination tab it continually times out. I have a feeling it might be because I have a static IP address, so my actual IP is different from the one that IPCONFIG pick up, but it doesnt seem like there is a way to manually change the IP from the auto detected one in the interface explorer. Do you think the statis IP is the issue and if so, how can I change it in the interface explorer app?
