Configuring a Server - Configure Server


 

To configure a running Network Server service (please read Starting a Server if the Network Server service is not running), you will need to log in to the server with Operator privileges. If this is the first time the service has been started, the username and password will be blank.

 

 

Description

 

Optional label for the name of the host system. This will be displayed throughout DiscJuggler, the Padus Network Console, and all other client interfaces.

Location

Optional label for the location of the host system. This will be displayed throughout DiscJuggler, the Padus Network Console, and all other client interfaces.

 

Accept incoming jobs

Select this option if the server should queue jobs sent in from clients. Disable this feature if server configuration changes need to be made while clients are not be able to send in new jobs.


Process jobs in queue

Select this option if the server should begin processing jobs sent in from clients. Disable this feature if the server needs to accept incoming jobs, but not process the jobs at the time. This can be put to good use if the server is temporarily out of blank media.

 

Max. jobs in queue

 

Maximum jobs allowed in DiscJuggler.NET's queue at one time. The only limitation to this value is the amount of available storage space in use by the Network Server service.

 

Max. connections

 

Maximum number of jobs that can be transferred by all clients at one time.

 

Max. bad discs per job

 

Maximum number of invalid discs created from a job before the job is deleted.

 

Max. bad discs per writer

Maximum number of invalid discs created by a writing drive before it is disabled.


Write speed for Audio CDs

 

Maximum CD write speed clients can select for CD-DA discs.

 

Write speed for Data CDs

 

Maximum write speed clients can select for writing CD-ROM or CD-XA discs.

 

Write speed for DVDs

 

Maximum write speed clients can select for writing DVD discs.

 

Optimize speed

 

This option will enabled drive specific technologies, such as JustSpeed™, PoweRec™, or PoweRec II™ for optimum writing speed control to disc media. These technologies will fetch the ATIP information from the blank media, determine speed information by doing a test write to the OPC area of the disc, and check for disc precision before writing to the blank disc. This option may result in varying times for writing to discs as it automatically adjusts the speed during the writing process, but vastly improve quality of the recorded disc. This option will not appear for drives that do not feature these writing technologies.

 

Maximize quality

 

This option will enable drive specific technologies, such as Audio Master™, Audio Master HQ™, VariRec™, or VariRec™ II for high quality writing. By optimizing the laser power and using lower writing speeds, these technologies vastly improve the quality of resulting discs. Changes in the writing speed will significantly slow down the time to write a disc. This option will not appear for drives that do not feature these writing technologies.

 

Enable test mode (pseudo-write)

 

Write process uses the read power level for the laser of the writing drives, which can be used to test the full writing process without writing to a blank disc.

 

Ignore verify request

 

This option will not verify jobs after writing, even if a client has specified that a job be verified.

 

Erase re-writable media if not blank

 

If re-writable media is not blank, Network Server service will erase disc before writing job.

 

Quick mode

 

Re-writable disc erasure only erases Table of Contents (TOC), which speeds up the erase process.

 

Use buffer under-run prevention technology (when available)

 

Many drives feature buffer under-run prevention technology, to limit the possibility of the data buffer losing data that it must have for the writing process to succeed. The technology can pause the write process until the buffer has the amount of data necessary to complete the process, and begin again where the process was paused. This procedure, while saving the write process, will slow the process down. Common names for the technology include BURN-Proof™, JustLink™, Power-Burn™, SafeBurn™, and Seamless Link to name a few.

 

Timeout  (min)

 

After this many minutes of inactivity in the web interface, the current session will expire.

 

Enable user security

 

Activates DiscJuggler.NET's security allowing users only with proper security clearance to use the server.
