    Name: the name of the target system. (Used as namespace for the symbols).
    AmsNetId: AmsNet Id of the target system to which a connection is to be established.
    Enabled or disabled connection to the specified target system

The connection you have configured is available. The events can be displayed accordingly via the EventGrid or EventLine Controls. Alternatively, the values can be queried via a JavaScript subscription.

When using the EventGrid or the EventLine, the filter must be set to the "TcHmiEventLogger" domain accordingly. All events of the extension run under this domain and can only be displayed if the filter allows messages from the domain.
