Automation Engine/Agent - BCIN for Connection Set Up

A TCP/IP connection of a BS2000 agent with another component requires this component's IP address to be known in the BS2000 agent.

Communication between a Automation Engine and a BS2000 agent is carried out via TCP/IP connection.
Information and internal protocol are exchanged.
The IP address of the server computer be made known to the BS2000 with /BCIN!

If a file transfer is initiated to/from a BS2000 agent, the participating agents set up a TCP/IP connection between each other.
BS2000 must recognize the file transfer of the BS2000 agents.
Define the IP address of the host (Computer of the file transfer partners) with /BCIN.
