Setting the duration of the authentication
When a user has logged in, that user's authentication is valid for the duration of the session.
There is no option in the Workflow Preferences that allows you to set a different behavior for the dur-
ation of the authentication. However, you can manually edit the file named: C:\Program Files
(x86)\Objectif Lune\ppnode\src\constants\default.js.
Look for the line exports.DEFAULT_SESSION_TTL = 0; and change the value to the number of mil-
liseconds that you want the authentication to last.
Note that editing any other value in this file may result in unpredictable behavior.
Serial Input plugin preferences
Serial input plugin preferences control certain functions of the PlanetPress Serial Capture service,
which in turn has a direct impact on all Serial input tasks performed by PlanetPress Workflow on a
given computer.
Preferences
l
Serial settings group
l
Serial port: Select the port of the computer where the Serial input is connected to (COM1
through COM8).
l
Baud rate: Select the baud rate of the Serial input. The baud rate is the number of bits
transferred per second. The transferred bits include the start bit, the data bits, the parity bit
(if defined), and the stop bits.
l
Data bits: Select the number of data bits defining the incoming data file on this serial port.
The data bits transferred through a serial port represent the data content. This excludes
the start, parity, and stop bits: these are bits defining the beginning and end of each unit of
transferred data, as well as error detection provided by the parity bit. The majority of serial
ports use between five and eight data bits. Binary data is typically transmitted as eight bits.
Text-based data is transmitted as seven bits or eight bits. If the data is based on the ASCII
character set, a minimum of seven bits is required. If an eighth bit is used, it must have a
value of 0. If the data is based on the extended ASCII character set, eight bits must be
used.
l
Parity: Select the type of parity used for error detection. The parity transfers through the
serial connection as a single bit. It is used to verify that each set of data bits transfers cor-
rectly. It is then stripped away before the data file passes through the rest of the Plan-
etPress Workflow process. Select None to ignore all parity bits; no error detection occurs.
l
Stop bits: Since most serial ports operate asynchronously, the transmitted byte must be
identified by start and stop bits. The start bit indicates when the data byte is about to begin
and the stop bit(s) indicates when the data byte was transferred. The start bit is always 0 to
