# CAN

![The CAN Settings.](/files/xKn3H8uOSeItoeCLsf3T)

The **CAN Settings** cover the necessary data to provide functionality to the [**CAN Nodes**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/communication/can.md).

`Baudrate (Windows - PCAN)` is the speed of the communication for the channel. More information about this metric can be found in the **External Links** section.

`Interface Name (Linux - SocketCAN)` is the identifying name of the *CAN* Bus. *Virtual CAN* is also possible within **Incari**. This is only used for Linux.

`Channel Name (Windows - PCAN)` is the USB port that *CAN* is connected to on *Windows*.

Furthermore, the `ChannelName` and `Interface Name` can both be specified, in the case that the user's platform is different than the target platform. If there is no difference in platforms, only one needs to be filled in.

A `DBC File` needs to be uploaded and selected. This `DBC File` is a vital part of the **CAN** protocol, as it stores all data regarding the connections between devices.

`Autostart` can be enabled or disabled and dictates when the channel is run (from the beginning of an application's life cycle or when the appropriate **Nodes** are used).

Please note that this version of **Incari** only supports the [*base (or standard) frame format*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN_bus#Base_frame_format).
