Saving DataSocket Server Configurations

You can create multiple DataSocket Server configurations and import and export them, which is especially useful when you want a DataSocket Server on another computer to have the same configuration as the one on the local computer because you cannot configure the DataSocket Server remotely or programmatically. You must locally configure the DataSocket Server with the DataSocket Server Manager. By default, the DataSocket Server uses the configuration specified in cwdssini.dss, which exists in the same directory as the DataSocket Server executable.

Saving Default Configurations

After you configure settings in the DataSocket Server Manager, select Settings»Save Settings Now to save the settings to cwdssini.dss.

Importing Configurations

To import settings from another file, select Settings»Import Settings and select a file from the Open DataSocket Server configuration dialog box.

Exporting Configurations

To save the current configuration of the DataSocket Server so you can load it on another computer or at a later time, select Settings»Export Settings and select a file from the Save DataSocket Server configuration dialog box.
