Publishers are the driving force of the OpenDXL data transport and this is reflected in the Topology View displayed in the Connections page. When a Publisher clicks the OpenDXL Set Up Server option on the Data Exchange menu, the Data Exchange wizard leads them through the process of setting up their first Subscriber(s). See the Getting Started - First OpenDXL Data Transport Connections section for more information on setting up your first connection.
After the Publisher generates a Subscriber connection bundle and the Subscriber uploads it, the Topology View shows that the Publisher and Subscriber communicate via the Data Transport. In the following example, TechPubs Publisher can send Data Collections to Station Alpha via the OpenDXL Broker Data Transport.
