Advanced settings of the USB dongle
Ithea provides a utility to change the configuration of the USB dongle service. It is available on C:\Program Files\ithea\instsvc.exe
and must be run as administrator.
Setting the key server
To use the computer as a network server, you must check "Actif" in the box "Serveur" at the top right of the window.
The default listening port of the server is 1331. This field is to change if you have another application that may be using the same port.
The proper functioning of the server can be checked using the command netstat -an
. The 1331 port is LISTENING should appear in the active connections:
Connexions actives
Proto Adresse locale Adresse distante État
TCP 0.0.0.0:1331 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
If this line does not appear, check that the port is open for incoming connections in the firewall settings of the computer.
Setting the network client
If the dongle is on a server, it is necessary to specify the IP address of the server. In the "Client" part, you must check "Actif" in the box "Mode Registry" and then enter the IP address and port of the server key in the window accessible from the button "Edition":
If the dongle server is likely to change, it is possible to enter multiple addresses.
