section of the shortcut that initiates eESPA.exe. This shortcut is usually located in the Windows
Startup group.
Figure 69: Typical parameters in the shortcut
In the example shown in Figure 69: Typical parameters in the shortcut on page 120, the
eESPA.exe identifies itself as belonging to site 1, and specifies the location of eKERNEL
through IP address *LOCAL and port 3114. The special value *LOCAL refers to the assigned
IP address of the first NIC adapter found in the PC. You can determine the IP address using
the IPCONFIG.exe command or in the appropriate sections of the Windows network settings.
The keyword Log drive refers to the drive where the logging data must be stored. Usually this
is C:\SOPHO Messenger@Net\Log\.
The keyword SleepBeforeAnswer refers to the number of milliseconds the system waits before
sending an answer to the linked station. Some systems block the answer if the answer is sent
immediately (less than 6 milliseconds after receipt). Use this parameter to set a delay of x
milliseconds before the output is sent.
Note:
The maximum supported value is 150 milliseconds
Set this value as low as possible, because during the delay time, the application is inactive,
so high values can disrupt the operation of the system.
At start up, the eESPA.exe sends an XML string to eKERNEL.exe requesting a configuration.
This step is needed for each module that interacts with eKERNEL.exe, because this approach
allows central administration from a single database, even if some client modules are located
on a distributed machine.
