Setting the broadcast interval

You can modify how often host information is sent to the FH Web Edition Connection Manager by modifying the broadcast interval value. This value represents how many seconds elapse between broadcasts, affecting how often a host’s CPU, memory, sessions, and process status bars are updated, and how long it takes a host to appear in the list of all hosts. The broadcast is sent through UDP and has a packet size of approximately 25-37 bytes.

  1. Navigate to C:\ProgramData\ACSXerox, open the HostProperties.xml file in Wordpad, and locate the following section:

    </property>
    <property id="BroadcastInterval" group="Miscellaneous" type="UINT32">
    <value>10</value>
    </property>

  2. Type the desired number of seconds for the value.

    Note: This value must be an integer greater-than or equal-to 1. Setting the value to 0 prevents other FH Web Edition servers from being listed in the FH Web Edition Connection Manager. The default value for broadcast interval is 10.

  3. Stop and start the FH Web Edition Application Publishing Service.
