## Connection Requirements

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### IP Address or Hostname

Provide either the IP address or hostname of the MyQ host. This is the server to which the connection will be established.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Port

Specify the port number to use for the connection.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Client ID and Client Secret

To get these credentials, register a new client — Client ID and Secret will be generated automatically. In the MyQ X Web Interface:

* Open the Settings tab.
* Navigate to External Systems (or Connections).
* Under REST API applications, click Add.
* Specify the Title of your client and the Scope required by your application.
* Copy your Client ID and Secret.
* Click OK.
