38 •• Server Configuration In Depth Installation & Reference Guide — Doc. 5798
this command to select the appropriate configuration file for each demo
before running it.
The following command is always available:
• Exit terminates the server application. If the server protocol is running, a
warning message appears.
The Server Menu
Before the server protocol is started, the following commands are available:
• Server | License… opens the e-control Software Server – Upgrade/Transfer
License window for licensing and activating the various server components.
• Server | Configure… opens the Configuration Options window described
beginning on page 20.
To start the server protocol, use one of the following commands:
• Server | Start connects to the control systems and starts the server protocol. If
no successful connections are made, the protocol remains halted.
• Server | Start w/Signal Analyzer connects to the control systems, starts the
server protocol, and opens the Signal Analyzer window (see below).
• Server | Start without connecting opens the Signal Analyzer window and
starts the server protocol but without connecting to the control systems. This
is useful for testing server behavior simulating incoming signals and watching
the signals generated in response (which are not actually sent).
The above commands all become disabled (dimmed) when the server protocol starts,
whereupon the following signals, normally disabled, become enabled:
• Server | Stop halts the server protocol.
• Server | Signal Analyzer opens or closes the Signal Analyzer window. When
this item is checked, the window is opened. When it is unchecked, the window
is closed.
The remaining commands are always available:
• Server | Log | Timestamps. Selecting this option puts a checkmark next to it
and henceforth all log items will contain a timestamp of the form hh:mm:ss
(24-hour clock) at the beginning of each line. Selecting the command again
removes the checkmark and timestamps will no longer be included in the log.
NOTES:
1. This option affects the server log and the signal log in the Signal Analyzer window as well.
2. This option is “sticky” — meaning that its most recently set state is saved in the Windows
Registry and is automatically applied to the option the next time the window is opened.
• Server | Log | Clear clears the message log.
The e-Mail Menu
This menu contains a single command, e-Mail | Tables, which opens the e-Mail
Tables window. This window provides display and edit access to three essential
tables in the database file named in Configuration Options window. These tables are
used for composing outgoing e-mail messages. See “Tables for sending e-mail”
beginning on page 43 for more information.
The Database Menu
This menu contains a single command, Database | Queries Table, which opens the
Queries Table window. This window provides display and edit access to this
essential table in the database file named in Configuration Options window. See
