Device Server Settings

Options in this group define different aspects of Device Server operations.

Port number to listen for Device Server connections (0 to disable)

Key name in the configuration file: deviceServerPort

Value type: Integer

Possible values: 0-65535

Default value: 6450

This option defines the port number for Device Server logins, i.e. the port to which Device Servers should establish connections. If set to zero, non-secure Device Server connections are not allowed.

Default Device Driver

Key name in the configuration file: defaultDevicePlugin

Value type: String

Possible values: Auto Detect or any Device Driver available for AggreGate Server

Default value: "" (empty, corresponds to Auto Detect)

This options defines which Device Driver is used for processing data by a newly created Device Server context. This is the ID of the default driver, not its name. This option is normally edited through a GUI (such as AggreGate Client), which includes all needed IDs. Finding the correct driver ID for manually entering it in the configuration file is beyond the scope of this manual. This option defaults to a Dynamic DNS driver.

If this options is set to Auto Detect, AggreGate Server will set Device Driver option in the settings of newly created Device Server account to Auto Detect. The actual driver to be used will be provided by the Device Server during its first login and stored in the settings of Device Server account.

Timeout for ordinary commands (seconds)

Key name in the configuration file: timeoutDsCommands

Value type: Integer

Possible values: 1 or more

Default value: 5

This option specifies the timeout for normal Device Server operations (login, configuration of external Device Servers etc.)

Timeout for inband commands (seconds)

Key name in the configuration file: timeoutDsInbandCommands

Value type: Integer

Possible values: 1 or more

Default value: 5

This option specifies the timeout for commands that are sent to Device Server while it stays connected to the AggreGate Server. This applies to all Device Servers that through normal Device Server Accounts and to the External Device Servers that are configured using TCP inband commands.

Timeout for broadcast commands (seconds)

Key name in the configuration file: timeoutDsBroadcastCommands

Value type: Integer

Possible values: 1 or more

Default value: 2

This option specifies the timeout for commands that are sent in broadcast mode, for example during auto-discovery of External Device Servers.
