Max Total Connections: To specify the maximum number of connections the
QuarkXPress Server Manager server should open for all hosts before it begins queuing
requests, enter a value in this field.
Ping Interval: To set the amount of time the QuarkXPress Server Manager server should
wait between ping attempts (see "Determining QuarkXPress Server instance availability"), enter
a value in this field.
Ping Type: To indicate whether QuarkXPress Server Manager should use a simple ping or
a ping document to test a QuarkXPress Server instance, choose an option from this
drop-down menu.
Ping Document: To indicate which QuarkXPress project the QuarkXPress Server Manager
server should use for ping document requests, enter the project file name in this field.
Make sure a copy of the project file is in each QuarkXPress Server instance's document
pool. Note that individual QuarkXPress Server instances can override this this value by
providing another document name. Note also that a ping document is used only if Ping
Type is set to Ping Document.
Common Document Pool Usage: Check this box if all managed QuarkXPress Server
instances are using the same document pool. If this box is checked, then upload, delete,
and saveas requests are sent to one of the available servers. If this box is unchecked, then
upload, delete, and saveas requests are sent to all managed servers. Note that you must
manually set each server to point at the common document pool.
Platform-specific Rendering: A QuarkXPress Server Manager server can send requests
that involve Mac OS project files to a Mac OS-based QuarkXPress Server instance, and send
requests that involve Windows project files to a Windows-based QuarkXPress Server
instance. Setting up the server in this manner can be desirable if the project files involved
use fonts that are available on only one platform or the other. To enable platform-specific
rendering for the QuarkXPress Server Manager server, check this box.
Inactive Host E-mail Notification: To automatically generate an e-mail message when a
QuarkXPress Server instance becomes inactive, check this box. The e-mail message is sent
to the address specified in the SMTP Settings pane.
