The Console page

This page displays server messages.

Errors are displayed in bold. You can set a general threshold for the number of messages that are displayed through the serverÆs NumberOfConsoleEvents property.

The Events page

This page maintains an event log.

Each event has the following attributes:

• A glyph to indicate the type of event:

  Glyph	Type of event	Description
  	Information	A regular status event
  	Unusual	An expected but unusual event that may indicate a problem
  	Error	A definite problem

• The date and time the event occured
• The name of the user that caused the event; blank for server messages
• The IP address of the user that caused the event; blank for server messages
• The event message

You can set a general threshold for the number of events that are displayed through the serverÆs NumberOfEventEntries property.

The Connections page

This page displays all current connections.

Each connection has the following attributes:

• A glyph to indicate the connection status:

  Glyph	Type	Description
  	Active	The client is currently (or has recently been) receiving information
  	Idle	The connection is open but it has not been used recently

• Application
• Version
• User name
• Locale
• Operating system
• The connection number
• Connection status

It also contains three buttons which control connections to the server:

• Close All

Close all existing client connections.

• Disconnect

Close the highlighted connection. If no client connection is highlighted, nothing happens.

• Refuse New Connections (Allow New Connections)

Leave current connections open and continue to service them, but ignore all new connection requests from clients, as if the server is down. When you click the button (or if the server starts disabled, see Disable), the caption changes to "Allow New Connections"--clicking it reactivates the server.
