NetSupport Manager
126
Port
This value is used for all interactions with TCP/IP Clients. You can configure Clients on your
network to run on a different port number if required.  This is useful to provide additional
security, as other NetSupport Control Users would need to know on which port your Clients
are configured.  You can also specify a port number when creating or connecting to a Client.
Send Keep alive Packets
Some TCP/IP stacks send periodic Keep Alive packets to detect a failed connection.  This can
be undesirable on ISDN links because it keeps redialing the connection, and can be
suppressed by checking this box.
Connect by Hostname
Normally the Control connects to a Client by IP Address, rather than by name.  In an
environment that uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) this may be undesirable
as the address may change when the Client workstation is restarted.  Checking this option
forces the Control to connect by hostname.
Test
Press this button to check the configuration and version of the TCP/IP stack installed.  The
version of Winsock is returned along with its current state.
Browsing
When you are running on a network with multiple subnets or addresses, you need to configure
the Broadcast Addresses for each effective network.  When a Browse is performed, the
broadcast messages are sent to these addresses.
IPX
Use IPX
Check this box to enable the IPX transport protocol.  This protocol is used on Local and Wide
area networks.
Record Clients’ Network Numbers
When you connect to a Client, the Control records its network number.  The Control normally
obtains a list of network numbers from the nearest NetWare Server or Bridge.  If subsequently,
the Server is unavailable the network numbers will be invalid.  Uncheck this box to store the
network numbers as zero.  Check this option to record the network numbers so that the
CLIENT.NSM file can be copied to other workstations which may be located on a different
segment of the network.
Use Networks
The Control normally obtains a list of network numbers from the nearest NetWare Server or
Bridge.  On some networks, there is no NetWare Server to ask or the list generated is
unreliable.  Enter one or more network numbers to use, which replaces the normal discovery
mechanism.  The numbers can be in decimal or hexadecimal, and must be separated by
commas.  Such as “0x1, 0x2, 0x34db1d69”.  You can also use the Test function to determine
these values automatically.
