Liquid UI for iOS allows you to connect through a SAPRouter which acts as a proxy between multiple SAP application servers. A SAPRouter also acts as a gateway between an SAP system and an external network where it serves as a port filter for security purposes.
To configure the App to connect to an SAPRouter, you need to input the SAP router IP address in the SAP Router field, where it will automatically fill in the '/H/' at the beginning and end of the IP address if you do not add it.
