Post From: How to configure Sierra Chart to connect to a local DTC Protocol Server Instance

Goal: Connect Sierra Chart App to a local DTC Protocol Server Instance.

Tried to set: File >> Data/Trade Service Setting >> Service to DTC Service but this appears to create a DTC Protocol server instance via the Sierra Chart App because it listens for a connection and does not try to connect to a DTC Protocol Server.

How do I configure Sierra Chart to connect to a specific local DTC Protocol Server instance by providing the local DTC Protocol’s Server’s IP address and port information for the primary connection (market data, trade data, etc.) and secondary port connection to support history data?

I would expect the Sierra Chart App to act like a client and follow the interaction with the local DTC Protocol server as described at:

DTC Messages and Procedures: Introduction

Note: I don’t want to configure Sierra Chart as a DTC Protocol Server at this point at described in:

Data and Trading Communications (DTC) Protocol Server

I want Sierra Chart to be a client to the specified local DTC Protocol Server. To chart market data as if it were connected to an external Sierra Chart DTC Protocol Server.
