The purpose of each of the settings in the “Add/Edit Destination” dialog will be described next.
- Name – - Allows user's to set the name of a particular destination, like “Test System 1”, or “Product System SH2”.
- End Point – - An end-point uniquely identifies an external TCP/IP application, in this case an HL7 MLLP receiver. It is comprised of both a hostname (Host) and a network Port. It should be noted that an IP address can be used instead of a hostname.

On the HL7 receiver side of the communication, the receiver is listening for connections on a specific application port. The Port setting here must match that configured on the receive side.
- Message Framing – - Message Framing defines how the HL7 Messages are encapsulated as they are sent out. The standard protocol is to prepend the message with 0x0B and to append 0x1C0x0D to the end of the message. Setting Message Framing is an advance topic and is covered in section “Message Framing” on page 35.
- Encoding – - Allows you to configure the character encoding that the HL7 receiver is expecting.
