When the Server is in Run mode, the Suspend Protocol menu item is available.
Suspend Protocol permits you to pause the operation of the Server without breaking
the DDE links established by client applications. You might wish to do this to scroll
back up the communication log display for trouble-shooting purposes. Suspend
Protocol does not allow you to enter Configure mode or make any changes to the
operational parameters of the Server, whereas the Stop command breaks the DDE
links and allows configuration of the Server.
To take the Server off-line for additional configuration or diagnostics, click the Stop
button on the Toolbar, or select Stop from the Server menu.
NOTE: Selecting the Stop command will attempt to stop the DDE Server, but if
there are active DDE links with client applications, the Server displays a message
that these links are present, and the Server cannot be stopped until you have closed
any active links from client applications. Switch to any active client applications,
close active links, then return to the Server and select Stop again.
When the Server is busy collecting data and passing it to the client applications, the
I/O Traffic Display feature can be used to take a look at what's happening over our
network.
Pull down the View menu and select I/O Traffic Display. (The Server must be in
Run mode to display traffic.)
The I/O Traffic Display dialog box pops up:
