![The Socket.IO Settings](https://2561100106-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Ff6JZovzOqBctA4C1o76u%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-c7bdfb057a487434678a6e2132d3b7fa7f8d81d0%2Fprojectsettingssocketio20232.png?alt=media)

The **Socket.IO Settings** allow the user to manage the **Socket.IO Connections** and cover the necessary data to provide functionality to the [**Socket.IO** **Nodes**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2023.2/toolbox/communication/socketio).

**Socket.IO Communication** in **Incari** is available as a plugin and is enabled as default. However, in the case that it is disabled in the **Plugins Editor**, it will not appear in the **Project Settings**. Please refer to the [**Plugins Editor**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2023.2/modules/plugins/communication) to find out more information.

`Name` is an identifying name of a *Socket.IO* connection chosen at the user's discretion.

`URL` is the *URL* of the server.

`Port` is the port the user chooses to serve the *Socket.IO* connection. This is often the same port as the website, which for *HTTP* is 80 and for *HTTPS* is 443.
