Deleting a Server from the Server List

NerveCenter maintains a list of servers that a client has connected to, or attempted to connect to, in the past. This list is used in the Connect to Server window, which you use to establish a connection to a server manually, and it also appears in the Client Configuration window. This list may contain the names of servers that you will never connect to again, or, even worse, the misspelled names of servers you were unable to connect to because of a misspelling.

 
  To delete the name of a server from the server list:

  1. From the client's Client menu, select Configuration.

    NerveCenter's Client Configuration window is displayed.

    clientConfig27

  2. In the Server List near the bottom of the window, select the server name you want to remove from the server list.
  3. Select the Delete button.
  4. Select the OK button.

Changing the Client's Server Port

Each NerveCenter server uses a special port on its host for client/server communication. By default, servers use port 32504; however, the person who configures the NerveCenter server can change the number of this communication port if port 32504 is being used by another application. If this number is changed on the server side, you must make a corresponding change on the client side before you will be able to connect to the server.

 
  To change the client's server port:

  1. From the client's Client menu, choose Configuration.

    The Client Configuration window is displayed.

    clientConfig28

  2. In the Server List near the bottom of the window, select the name of the server that uses the non-default port number.

    Connection information for that server is displayed.

  3. Type the new port number in the Server Port text field.
  4. Select the OK button.
