A local broker is available for immediate MQTT communication within your environment.

Control Options: Easily start (Run) or stop (Stop) the Broker as needed, offering control over your simulation scenarios.

Local/Remote Settings

Access the specific settings of the MQTT broker. Here, you can set parameters such as 'Backlog', 'MaxPendingMessagesPerClientOut', and whether you want to disable the retained file. In addition, you can manage user credentials, adding usernames and passwords for MQTT client authentication.
