Outbound Connections
Outbound Connections are the outgoing as well as incoming connections where the RALS™ SYSTEM sends data and where the data is received back from the LIS (for enhanced acknowledgements). Outbound Connections can be added, edited, and cloned through the Outbound Connections page. You can only have one connection for each combination of connection type, host, and port. This means there can only be one From Mirth connection for each port.
