Server Configuration In Depth
Installation & Reference Guide — Doc. 5798
this command to select the appropriate configuration file for each demo
before running it.
The following command is always available:
•
Exit
terminates the server application. If the server protocol is running, a
warning message appears.
The
Server
Menu
Before the server protocol is started, the following commands are available:
•
Server | License…
opens the
e-control Software Server – Upgrade/Transfer
License
window for licensing and activating the various server components.
•
Server | Configure…
opens the
Configuration Options
window described
beginning on page 20.
To start the server protocol, use one of the following commands:
•
Server | Start
connects to the control systems and starts the server protocol. If
no successful connections are made, the protocol remains halted.
•
Server | Start w/Signal Analyzer
connects to the control systems, starts the
server protocol, and opens the
Signal Analyzer
window (see below).
•
Server | Start without connecting
opens the
Signal Analyzer
window and
starts the server protocol but without connecting to the control systems. This
is useful for testing server behavior simulating incoming signals and
watching
the signals generated in response (which are not actually sent).
The above commands all become disabled (dimmed) when the server protocol starts,
whereupon the following signals, normally disabled, become enabled:
•
Server | Stop
halts the server protocol.
•
Server | Signal Analyzer
opens or closes the
Signal Analyzer
window. When
this item is checked, the window is opened. When it is unchecked, the window
is closed.
The remaining commands are always available:
•
Server | Log | Timestamps.
Selecting this option puts a checkmark next to it
and henceforth all log items will contain a timestamp of the form
hh:mm:ss
(24-hour clock) at the beginning of each line. Selecting the command again
removes the checkmark and timestamps will no longer be included in the log.
N
OTES
:
1.
This option affects the server log and the signal log in the
Signal Analyzer
window as well.
2.
This option is “sticky” — meaning that its most recently set state is saved in the Windows
Registry and is automatically applied to the option the next time the window is opened.
•
Server | Log | Clear
clears the message log.
