- Configure the Endpoint clients to connect to the IP or the host name of ELB computer (not to the Endpoint Servers).
- Listenerstab: SetLoad Balancer ProtocoltoTCPand setLoad Balancer Portto any port number (for example, 443).
- Instance Protocoltab: ConfigureInstance ProtocoltoTCP.

- Health Checktab: SetPing ProtocoltoTCPand setPing Portto the port that Endpoint client servers listen on.
