Int 1 Enabled
Default: Disabled
This setting determines if the qualifier will attempt to establish ToolsNet connections for the specified
interface. Unlike the other network protocols supported by the qualifier, ToolsNet requires the
controller to establish connections. Since the qualifier will repeatedly make network requests to attempt
to establish network connections to the ToolsNet server, you should only enable ToolsNet if you have a
server set up in the network and only for the interfaces that are in use.
