Local TCP Server Locator
Benefits
Know exactly what TCP servers are active on the LAN at any given time.
No need to manually probe individual IP addresses.
No need to remember URLs of local servers or be informed of changes.
Description
The TCP server locator allows users to see a list of all web, FTP or other servers on the LAN without having to manually probe individual IP addresses, or ask their colleagues what URL to use. Each computer on the LAN is periodically checked to see what servers are active.
Browser viewing of server locator
Benefit
Proximity to the host that is running the Vicomsoft server product is not necessary to view list of servers.
Description
The list of TCP servers may be viewed from any web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Netscape Navigator. This means that any LAN user with a web browser can immediately view a list of all of the TCP servers on the LAN. Since the servers are listed as hyperlinks in the web browser, end users need only click on the links to visit the servers.
TCP Server Locator configuration list
Benefits
List only the types of server that you want your users to see.
Specify which ports you wish the server locator to probe.
Description
The TCP Server Locator can be configured to check specific port numbers and which types of server may be listening at each port. A typical configuration would probe standard, or well-known port numbers for common server types. These are port 80 for web servers and port 21 for FTP servers. Any server listening on port 80 would be listed as a web server, and any server found to be listening at port 21 would be listed as an FTP server. For technical reasons however, it may be necessary to attribute non-standard port numbers to certain servers. Administrators may accommodate this situation by specifying any combination of port numbers and server types for total flexibility. An administrator may also configure the server locator to probe for less commonly used servers such as Telnet.
