CygNet Bridge

CygNet Bridge is a set of services provided to run outside of a CygNet network so that CygNet production data can be made available to consumers who require access to CygNet data, but are external to a CygNet installation. The following optional CygNet products utilize CygNet Bridge for this purpose:

These CygNet products require connection via an instance of CygNet Bridge to securely connect to a CygNet installation for CygNet data access.

Note: CygNet Bridge v4.7 is required for interoperability with CygNet v9.8. Refer to the CygNet Release Documents for additional version compatibility information.
