Configuring connection monitor
In this section of the program's settings, you can configure connection monitoring preferences.
- Monitor connections constantly
When this item is selected, monitoring for active connections will be performed continuously, with the period configured in the corresponding field.
Warning! With shorter time inteval, the software can log more user connections and react faster when using black list and alerts. But very short interval and large number of simultaneously connected users can increase the load on your system and computer disk due to excessive log writing. We recommend the value of 1 sec. for user computers and 3-5 sec. for file servers.
- Notify on new connections
When this item is selected, in the upper left corner you will see the notification message with name of computer, which your shared resources are being accessed from, and name of the remote user. The message will disappear automatically after the number of seconds, which you have specified in the Display message for... setting.
- Play sound on new connections
When a new connection is detected, the program can play a sound file (WAV), which you have specified in the Sound file field.
- Show balloon tip in tray
When this item is selected, the program will show notification messages in the system tray displaying remote user and computer name.
