    • Approach:
    1. Establish a connection using basic setup without any security settings 
    2. Proceed to configuring the security options as needed
    • Prerequisites for validating the network connection:
      • Use a tool like PuTTY to test a Raw type connection to IP:49320 between the servers
      • Monitor with wireshark whether the TCP 3-way handshake is taking place as expected
    • Server side configuration
      • Right click on the ex icon in the systray, and choose OPC-UA Configuration
      • On the Server Endpoints tab click Add
      • Choose the network adapter that this server should listen for OPC-UA traffic on
      • Make note of the url opc.tcp://<IP>:49320
        • Make sure that TCP:49320 is allowed by OS Firewall
      • Allow None in the security policy and certificates will not be checked for validation.
      • Open the server Configuration
      • Right click on Project in the tree > Properties > OPC-UA
      • Verify Server Interface Enable is Yes and Client Sessions Allow Anonymous is Yes
      • Click OK
      • From the menu bar choose Runtime > Reinitialize
    • Client side configuration
      • Open the server Configuration
      • Right click on Connectivity and choose New Channel
      • For the driver choose OPC-UA Client driver, click Next
      • Click Next > Next
      • Use the url from the server as the Endpoint URL: opc.tcp://<IP>:49320
      • Set security policy to None
      • Take all the defaults for the rest of the channel creation
      • Click to add a device
      • Click Next until the option Select Import Items 
      • Click Select Import Items and pull in the items needed from the target
      • Last step is to click Next and Finish
