Net Administrator is a feature used to control the server from the local host without any authorization. Net Admin can be used even when it is not possible to connect to the server using AggreGate Client or access its Web Desktop, and the System Tray icon is also unavailable (i.e. on a system without graphical user interface). If is usually used to debug AggreGate Server installations if other methods (<%AGCL%>, Web Desktop) are not working for some reason.
Net Admin is accessed using Telnet or any other Telnet-like software. You have to telnet from the PC on which the AggreGate Server is running. You cannot access the Net Admin from any other host.
To access the Net Admin:
| • | Make sure you are working on the server actually running AggreGate Server. |
| • | Telnet to 127.0.0.1 (localhost), port 6440. You should get a connection, and no prompt. |
| • | If the command was successful, you will get an A (Ack) and an optional answer text. |
| • | If the command failed, you will get an E (Error) and an optional error description. |

The Net Admin interface is enabled by default. It is used during automatic upgrade or uninstallation of the AggreGate Server. If untrusted users have local access (by Unix shell or physical access) to the host running AggreGate Server, this feature should be disabled for security reasons. It can be disabled using the Web Admin interface.
