Software Configuration

Configuring the application to use dual network cards

Issues with Client-to-Server connectivity can be due to different reasons. Some examples are:

• The computer running the Server has more than one network interface card (NIC) installed.

• The computer running the Server is behind a firewall that performs network address

translation.

To make sure that Clients can connect to the Server, you may need to edit the IP configuration

setting in the Options dialog to manually specify the IP address that the Server should use to

communicate to its Clients.

NOTE

The server binds using IPv6 address by default if your Operating System is IPv6-enabled (dual mode

or IPv6 only). The server binds using IPv4 address by default if your Operating System is

IPv4-enabled. Servers running in dual mode allow the client to communicate from both IPv6 and

IPv4 addresses.

To configure the IP address to override the default RMI server host IP address, complete the

following steps.

NOTE

This configuration option replaces the -Djava.rmi.server.hostname value used in previous releases.

1. Select Server > Options.

The Options dialog box displays.

2. Select Client/Server IP in the Category list to set the IP address.

3. Choose one of the following options in the Server IP Configuration list.

• Select All. Go to step 4.

• Select a specific IP address. Continue with step 5.

• Select localhost. Continue with step 5.

When Server IP Configuration is set to All, you can select any available IP address as the

Return Address. If you select a specific IP address, the Return Address field shows the same IP

address and you cannot change it.

4. Select the return IP address in the Client - Server IP Configuration Return Address list.

5. Click Apply or OK to save your work.

NOTE

Changes take effect after you restart the Management Server.

NOTE

You can only restart the server using the Server Management Console (Start > Programs >

Management_Application_Name 11.X.X > Server Management Console).

6. Click OK on the “changes take effect after “application restart” message.
