LinkPlexer configuration changes

Configuration file changes

IP address to host name resolution 

LinkPlexer 1.1 performed a lookup on the IP address entered in the 
configuration file to obtain a host name for display purposes. On some networks, 
the lookup process was unacceptably slow (~20 seconds). When configured with 
Contact Center Manager Server acting as a session controller, the slow response 
can lead to LinkPlexer 1.1 failing to complete the logon process initiated by 
Contact Center Manager Server. This feature was removed in LinkPlexer 1.2 
and is not supported in LinkPlexer 6.0.

Configuration keywords 

The following configuration keywords from LinkPlexer 1.1 are not supported: 

„

DNAssocFilter 

„

SessionPort

ListenerPort 

Configuration entries renamed
