The License Manager Tool
Viewing the DialOut/EZ License Manager Activity Display
The details panel provides a live display of current connections that are being controlled by the License Manager. The following columns are available:
• | Client - The IP address of the client computer running the redirector. |
• | COM Port - The virtual COM port being used on the client computer. |
• | Server - The IP address of the modem server. |
• | Server Port - The TCP port number that the redirector uses to connect to the server. |
Depending on the setting of Refresh Speed, short connections occurring within an update interval may not appear in the DialOut/EZ License Manager details panel. However, all connections will be recorded in the License Manager Log.
Managing the Display
Click on any column header to sort the display by that column. Clicking again will invert the sort order. To change the update rate for the details panel, in the Action menu, click Refresh Speed. To force an update of the details panel at any time, in the Action menu, click Refresh.
Saving Activity Data to a File
In the Action menu, click the Export List command. Select a file format and a file name, then click Save.
