Like any other OPC UA connection setup, it will be similar to this: [Connecting to Kepware OPC-UA - Connecting to OPC Servers](https://www.inductiveuniversity.com/video/connecting-to-kepware-opc-ua/8.1?r=%2Fvideo%2Fsearch%2F%3Fq%3Dopc%20ua%26checked_topics%3D)

This is a basic network-level error. A TCP connection could not be opened. The server is not running, not listening on the IP/port you configured, or maybe a firewall is in the way.

Thank you for the reply, working through it.

Ping is good,  
Firewall is off. – Still added a port rule for 62541 in and out on TCP. On the Ignition server.  
We have added certificates as far as I know.

Does Autosol use port 62541?

We now believe the port it is using is not open.
