and modify a user account. The user account must exist on the server before
the user Signs in.
Each user's record includes different data fields:
Field "Number" is used to identify each user,
each user's number is different. Field "Name"
and "Password" are used to sign in. Field
"Status" has two status: "Active"

value to "Closed" if he want to disenable the
user. Field "Date" is the date when the user
is created. Field "Type" means user type,

Network Configuration
In Config->Communication tab Network Configuration function allows the server's administrator to
change the communication port. Ports of client program
should match the server's configuration. After
the administrator have modified the value and click the
"Enable" button, he must reboot the server
program to activate it.
Security Configuration
In Config->Security tab Security Configuration function allows the
administrator to enable/disenable the communication
encryption function. All communication, including file
transfer, can be done through an password oriented encrypted
channel to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of
the data. The communication channels are comprised of
control channel and data channel. The control channel
refers the communication signaling which is transferred
between client and server. The data channel refers the
raw data of audio, video and others, which are mostly
transferred between clients. The control channel and
data channel can use different password. The communication
data is encrypted by the password string. Different
password, different result of encrypting communication data. So,
the administrator can change password string to obtain an
unique communication data stream. This will improve the
communication security.
If you want to enable control channel encryption,
check the Item "Encrypt all client-server
communication" and input the password. The data
channel is the same. After you click "Apply"
button and restart the server program, the encrypted
channel will work. This will cause communication break
between client and server.
Note: The encryption will take some resource and
cause some delay in communication. The client program do
not need to configure for security. All the
configuration is done by the administrator, although
communication data is peer-to-peer encrypted.
License

about the License key that the installation is using.

night during the installation of the key.

default is the Standard mode which will take less
bandwidth and is recommended. The Broad Band mode will
