Chapter 8: SecureSuite System Settings
SecureSuite XS Workstation Guide 67
Port Settings
Changing a port from 0 (which allows the use of any available port) to another port
allows SecureSuite to function over a firewall or similar security component.
The Server TCP Port Setting allows an administrator to specify which TCP
port the server will use to receive messages from client machines during the ping
process.
The RPC Port Settings allow an administrator to specify which ports will be
used in order to ensure proper RPC communication. Port 1 specifies which port
the client machine will use to call CSS functions from the server. Port 2
specifies which port the client machine will use to call LAS functions from the
server.
Timeouts
The Ping Timeout value specifies the amount of time (in seconds) that a client
machine will wait for a response from the server during the ping process. For
example, if this is set at
10 seconds, then when the client is attempting to ping the
server, the client machine will wait for 10 seconds before returning a message
stating that the server could not be found. Increasing this setting will allow the
client machine more time to wait for a response from the server.
The Discovery Timeout value specifies how long a client will search for the
server during the discovery process. If a domain is a LAN (as opposed to a WAN),
this value can be as little as
5 to 10 seconds. For more geographically abundant
networks, the default value should be left as is, or increased if you are having
problems with clients detecting available SecureSuite servers.
Virtual IP
When the server is protected by a firewall and one or more client machines are
outside of the firewall, it may be necessary to specify the server’s IP address in
order to ensure successful communication. The
Virtual IP setting allows an
administrator to specify the IP address.
