subnet mask may differ from the default value 255.255.255.0 and service providers may assign some specific network settings. Administrators should change the configuration according to what is given by the service provider. The configuration may include "IP address", "Subnet Mask", "Default Router", "Primary DNS" and "Secondary DNS". After changing network settings, be sure to leave "Reset network at next boot" blank to skip installation when the system restarts. Otherwise the settings will be erased.
NetworKam not only plays the role of server, it will also actively connect to servers outside to send out messages or snapshots. When NetworKam starts, it will send out a system log to notify administrators. Even in modem application, NetworKam will send out a connection log whenever it dials out to an ISP or dialup server outside. If the administrator has setup some applications in either event mode or sequential mode, NetworKam will send out snapshots once conditions are met. There are two methods to send files, including
In both methods, a "Secondary" server can be provided for backup connection. However the primary server information should be entered first. If the primary server is not set, the related FTP or email will be deactivated. Note that it may take time to connect to the secondary server after the first one fails and it may affect some applications when conditions happen too often.
For security or network integration, administrators also can hide the server from the general HTTP port by changing "HTTP Port" to other than 80 and known port numbers such as 21 and 23. These ports of “Control Channel Port”, “Audio Channel Port” and “Video Channel Port” which are used in media transmission can also be changed. Administrators should have enough acknowledge before changing the default port.
If the NetworKam works in variation or low bandwidth (comparing with video bandwidth) environment,
