eZ-TOMAS Remote, Servers Panel
You can configure the Servers panel to have hosts via the Servers Connections dialog box.
To access the Servers Connections dialog box you can use the <Server Configuration> button that resides
in the Servers panel [see preceding table]; or you
can:
1. Display the eZ-TOMAS Remote main
(gauge) window.
2. Open the Edit pull-down menu.
3. Select Server Connections (see
following figure).
As an alternative to these steps you can
use the shortcut, Ctrl+R.
After selecting Server Connections, its dialog box
appears (following figure). The dialog allows you
to enable servers, which can be specified by IP
Address or hostname. You can specify an update
rate for each server.
Servers Control Item Function
Server
Configuration Clicking this icon brings up the Server Configuration dialog box.
Server
Refresh Clicking this icon forces a refresh of the server status. This is used for first time connection of a server
and for servers that go offline, for example, if port timeout was exceeded during communication.
Note that increasing the Port Timeout increases the time it takes for refreshing the server list [when
servers are truly not on line].
For example, if a server is 1) really offline, 2) is in the refresh list, and
3)Port Timeout is set to 30 seconds; then every time you click the <Refresh> button the operation will
take 30 seconds to time out [before completing the refresh operation. If you know the server is really
offline, you can disable it to avoid the unwarranted slow refresh.
Server
Update Checking the Server Update box enables automatic updates of server status. The update rate is
defined on a per server basis in the Server Connections dialog box.
