System Directories and Network Address Dialog
This dialog allows the setup of the
Network IP addresses and ports and
related options. Also the file paths
may be setup. "Databases are not
shared" if not checked the master
and all the slave and workstation
computers share the same database
files. This box must only be checked
if each computer has its own copy of
the databases stored locally. In
normal operation this box is typically
unchecked. If this box is checked the
databases must be manually
updated using Backup and Restore
every time there are changes made
to the database.
"Show connection pop-ups" if
checked will show a pop-up
message box whenever a network
connection is initiated or released
with another computer. Unchecking
this box will stop the message boxes
from displaying. In normal operation
this box is typically unchecked.

"Show all error pop-ups" if checked will show a pop-up message box whenever a network error is reported.
Unchecking this box will stop the message boxes from displaying. In normal operation this box is typically
unchecked.
"Disable auto reconnect" if checked the system will not automatically attempt to reconnect a lost connection
each minute. Unchecking this box will allow the system to automatically reconnect a lost connection. In normal
operation this box should be unchecked.
"Auto synchronize time" if checked the master computer will automatically synchronize the time on the slave
and workstation computers once each night.
"Option 6" this checkbox currently has no function and should be left unchecked.
"Master's Network Address" is the IP address of the master computer. There is no need to program the IP
addresses of the workstation computers into the Escort software since they always establish the connection with
the master and the slave. The Escort system requires a fixed IP address for the Master computer.
"Master's Network Listen Port" is a unique number that indicates that the Escort software is attempting to set
up a connection. Other software will use different port numbers, allowing the Network Interface Card to be
shared with other network applications. Typically this would be set to 4561.
"Learn address" button. Clicking this button on the master computer will automatically program the master's IP
address in the "Master's Network Address". If the computer has more than 1 Network Interface Card (NIC) you
must verify that the correct IP address has been selected by comparing this address to the IP address that was
programmed in the network control panel TCP/IP protocol for the master computer's network card. If the address
is not correct, manually edit it to the IP address programmed in the network control panel TCP/IP protocol for the
master computer's network card. Clicking this button on the slave computer will automatically program the
slave's IP address in the "Slave's Network Address".
"Slave's Network Address" is the IP address of the slave computer. There is no need to program the IP
addresses of the workstation computers into the Escort software since they always establish the connection with
the master and the slave. The Escort system requires a fixed IP address for the optional Slave computer.
"Slave's Network Listen Port" is a unique number that indicates that the Escort software is attempting to set up
a connection. Other software will use different port numbers, allowing the Network Interface Card to be shared
with other network applications. Typically this would be set to 4561.
