If you already have this selected, but are missing one or more panels (i.e. Console, Javascript,

@SteveMartin - strange, I just copy/pasted the script and run the connector as an iterator in an AL... Could it be you are getting strange data back? Have you tried debugging?

@Tom Steenbergen - A connection timeout could mean a couple of things. First, that the IP address or hostname is wrong, or the server it points to is not running. Try pinging the server to see if it is up. Then you can try to telnet to the port to see that's it's listening on that port. Of course, if it were simply the wrong port you were trying the you'd get a connection refused.
