Configure a Server

Advertising

The usage information collector uses SAP and/or SLP to advertise itself. You can enable or disable either SAP or SLP advertising for the local server by checking or unchecking the check boxes and then clicking Save. This advertising affects only the usage information collection service. You cannot disable both advertising methods.

IP Ports (values are decimal)

Select Dynamic if you want the local server to use dynamic IP ports for any SPX™ sends and receives performed in conjunction with the usage information collection service. Select Static if you want to specify a port for either sending or receiving. You can still specify that either sends or receives use a dynamic port by using a port value of 0 in the appropriate box. Click Update Configuration at the bottom of the page for your changes to take affect.

Note: The value must be entered in decimal.

IPX Sockets (values are hex)

Select Dynamic if you want the local server to use dynamic IPX™ sockets for any SPX sends and receives performed in conjunction with the usage information collection service. Select Static if you want to specify a socket for either sending or receiving. You can still specify that either sends or receives use a dynamic socket by using a socket value of 0 in the appropriate box. Click Update Configuration at the bottom of the page for your changes to take affect.

Note: The value must be entered in hex.
