Remote Configuration

ClearBox Server can be configured both locally and over the TCP network from any remote host. ClearBox remote tools should be installed on that host.

When Configurator is run the first time, your are prompted whether to open local configuration file or connect to a remote ClearBox server:

If the first option is selected, Configurator runs as usually. If you select the second option, the remote connection dialog is displayed:

Specify the server host IP address, the server port (default is 7799, but is may be changed with Server Manager ) and the connection password set during the server setup. Finally, click Connect. ClearBox Server can serve only one remote connection at time to avoid configuration inconsistence. If no other connections are established, and all input data is correct, remote server configuration file will be loaded. It may be edited, and all changes are local. Pressing Save causes Configurator to send the result to the server. You may click Disconnect on the toolbar when done:

The same way, you may click Connect at any time to connect to a remote server.

IMPORTANT NOTE. Please remember that all paths and IP addresses are relative to the server. Say, if the configuration describes c:\general.mdb data source, it is the path on the server, and you should not change it to your local machine path.
