System Client Configuration

The client configuration defines the client's network connection, auto start, logging properties etc. The configuration are defined in a xml file. The default file used, if no other file is specified, is C3FireClientConfig.xml located in the www directory <C3FIRE-WWW-ROOT>. You can select the used client configuration file with the "ConfigFile" parameter in the html file used when starting the C3Fire client, see Client Html Configuration.

XML Definition

The xml file should have the elements, Connection, DefaultFiles, AutoStart, InfoLog, TraceLog, ErrorLog and Language.


Connection

Defines how the client communicates with the server. The Connection element should have the attributes, IPNr, Port and Type. The connection information for the server and the clients should be the same. Change these values so that it works with your network settings. Ask the system administrator if you do not know the network settings. The network can be configured so that you are not allowed to communicate on the defined port 8080.
