ConnectedAP

The element ConnectedAP has only two attributes and iedName and apName that in combination are a pointer to the AccessPoint of an IED. The configuration of such an ConnectedAP is done inside the Address element.

The structure in the Communication editor does not completely follow the SCL. ConnectedAP are grouped inside IED containers to help the user to better filter the information. When you click on such an IED container you will find that AccessPoints belonging to the same IED but connected to another subnetwork are disabled but visible too.
