Setting Panels
Click Settings in the left bar. Three tabs give access to the settings concerning devices, security and logs.
Device Settings
IP Viewer
When KCenter is running on a Windows OS, you should select the application that is launched when clicking on the Viewer button. Select either Execute Java IP Viewer Application, or Execute Windows IP Viewer Application. Whether you select the Windows or the Java viewer, you must ensure that the viewer application is installed and you must specify its absolute path.
When KCenter is running on Linux or Mac OS, only Execute Java IP Viewer Application is enabled. You must specify a valid path to the jar package containing the Java(TM) viewer.
Device Detection
By default the device detection is run manually by clicking on Detect into the Devices panel. By checking Detect Devices Periodically, KCenter runs the device detection periodically every specified amount of time.
Click Apply to validate your modifications.
Security Settings
This is the place where you MUST setup the credentials that KCenter will use to access the devices.
All devices that will be accessed by KCenter must have one super-administrator user corresponding to these credentials. For example add in all devices a super administrator user "kcenter" with password "kcenter_password". Then fill in Administrator Name with "kcenter" and Administrator Password with "kcenter_password". Confirm the password and click Apply to validate your modifications. Starting from now KCenter will use these credentials to get access to the devices.
Note: Preferably use a complex password with a mixture of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers. After everything have been configured you will not have to type it anymore.
Log Settings.
Use this panel to set up the options related to report lists and program debug messages.
Report List Settings
Keep Only the Most Recent: When this box is checked, you can set up
the number of most recent messages that will be displayed in the report lists
Clear the Report Lists at the Program Exit. When this box is checked,
all report list contents are cleared when the program terminates. Otherwise, the list contents are kept and restored at next start
Automatically Save the Deleted Report Contents. Permits to save the messages that are deleted because at least one of the two previous boxes is checked. Refer to Report Panel to know the names of saved files. Note that the lists "manually" cleared by clicking the Clear button are not concerned by this option
Debug Log Settings. By default, KCenter sends messages resulting from unattended events to the Java console. You can control the message types and destination by checking the following checkboxes:
Display Full Debug Information in the Console Log. Ask KCenter to send more detailed information to the Java console
Redirect Console Log Contents to Disk. If this box is checked, debug messages are not sent to the Java console but saved into files located in the USER_HOME\.kcenter\Debug folder
Click Apply to validate your modifications.
Note: Do not check these debug checkboxes unless you are asked to do so by Prosum technical support.
