LANOff Configuration Latest Version: 4.1 Size: 654KB Released 18-September-2008

Below is a screen shot of the main program configuration screen showing the various parameters that can be set. Hovering over the various fields will display the tool tips with extra information. Errors will be flagged by a status message at the bottom of the screen when Save is clicked and the parameter(s) involved will also be highlighted. If no name is entered for a Slave the IP address or domain name will be displayed. You must enter a name for the Local Computer and an IP address or domain name for at least one remote computer. Any errors must be fixed before new data can be saved. The configuration file can be found in the data directory of the program (usually c:\program files\JSutils\LANOff\Data) and is called LANOffM.ini.

The Log Level can be set to None, Normal or Full. If the log file path is changed the path must end with '\'.The alternate log path must be created manually and the permissions set to suit the required operation if it does not already exist before running the program. If the log level is set to Full configuration details are written to the log file when the configuration screen is closed if any changes have been saved, in addition configuration details are written to the log file each time the program starts.

When using the remote slave you can use either an IP address or if the domain name check box is ticked a fully qualified domain name (on systems without a Directory Name Server you can also use the computer name). Only change the communications port if the program gives an error message indicating a clash with another program.

The configuration screen will timeout after 600 seconds if left open, there is a warning message 90 seconds before closure which appears at the top of the screen and counts down before this happens.
