General
Both the main program and the slave are configured via a configuration screen
which enables the way the programs work to be changed to suit specific circumstances.
The configuration files from versions prior to version 3.0 are not compatible
with version 3.0 and above. The installer moves old configuration files to
LANOffM.old (main program) and LANOffS.old (slave program). If out of range
parameters are chosen the changed data can not be saved. When
the configuration screen is opened program operation is inhibited (apart from
communications to and from the slaves) until it is closed when the program
will be reset if any parameter changes have been saved. Saving configuration
changes needs administrator privileges.
Port Allocation And Conflicts
The main program transmits on one port and receives on a separate
port for each remote computer. This means Remote Computer 1 is
received on the RX port set for the main program, Remote Computers
2, 3 and 4 are received on the RX port +1, +2 and +3 respectively.
If a conflict occurs on one of the ports then then all ports
are changed by altering the RX and TX Ports. The Slave on Remote
Computer 1 SLave has the TX Port set to the same as the main
program RX Port, Remote Computer 2 Slave has the TX Port set
to the main program RX Port + 1, Remote Computer 3 Slave has
the TX Port set to the main program RX Port + 2 and Remote Computer
4 Slave has the TX Port set to the main program RX Port + 3.
The Slave RX Port is set to the same as the main program TX Port.
If there are any port clashes one of the installations will give
details.
