Administration console

The administration console will help you to configure AxIThread's license manager service and will display relevant information about service status.

The console window displays the current status of the service in a text box. You may start or stop the service selecting either the 'start service' button or the 'stop service' button. It also shows a multipage tab control with service information and where you may change service settings.

Fig. 3, service settings

Start auto: service will start when system starts.

Manual start: service must be started on demand, either through this administration console, or through the control panel or by the net start/stop commands.

Service disabled: disable service in this machine.

English or spanish: language selection will affect not only this management console but also the log registry.

Auto-load interface: if you choose to mark this option, the management console will be loaded every time a user (only if permissions allow he/she to) logs in the computer.

Interval: incomplete packet wait interval.

When the service gets a remote request on a given port and the data packet is not available (or not complete) at that moment, it will try (5 times, usually) to read the packet again from the port making a pause of interval miliseconds between each one of them.

If the packet couldn't be totally read, and depending on the requested operation, it will be discarded or will remain pending for a later read while the service performs another task.

If a remote machine seems to be not able to connect to the server you may increase the value of the interval. Values permitted must be in the 20 to 1000 miliseconds range. Take into account that the service will perform successive readings from the port (from 3 to 5) with a pause set to the indicated value between them. Try to keep this value to the lowest, to avoid as far as possible to penalize service performance.
