In the object tree of the Apollo Explorer the devices HermesD2D are listed, whereas Hermes V2A is excluded (the
object type starts with a dash). The pictures show the influence of this section in the ApolloExplorer.ini of the
object tree before and after excluding Hermes V2A:
As default, the Digital Stream Source is excluded since these sources cannot be applied with /Source
requested. The Security Provider is excluded to be compatible with previous versions.
The ApolloExplorer.ini file is located in the subfolder ServerData of the Apollo Project and is
automatically distributed to all Apollo network servers.
A user-specific ApolloExplorer.ini file also exists to save the customized settings of the user
interface.
Windows NT: …./Winnt/profiles/user/Local Settings/Apollo/ApolloExplorer.ini
