Notes:
1. For Version 7.x, the default scheduler engine Port = 1967. The port value in the NT service module is read from a settings file, and should match the port value in the user interface.
2. The Period is the time interval in minutes, which the NT service module, will check that the engine is running. The default is 5 minutes. If the engine is shutdown, the NT service module will restart it.
