3.3.4 User Manager (connections manager)
In order to manage several plotters simultaneously through Server Manager, it is important to take the following into
account:
1
To activate the Multiplotter option, it is necessary to edit the default connection (PLOTTER-DEFAULT) and
establish the ID of the plotter which manages the connection. This identier allows Server Manager to link the
connection to the appropriate plotter when the computer is connected to multiple plotters.
It is recommended that you change the connection name to something more descriptive and meaningful.
2
For each new plotter connection, the previous procedure must be repeated. For example, activate the multiplotter
option and establish the identity of the plotter to be managed by Server Manager.
It is also recommended to assign each plotter a suitable name.
3
For each additional connection, a new port must be established to the ones already being used in the other con-
gurations.
4
Alternatively, the other options for each connection can be modied individually, such as setting different paper
width values for each plotter.
The plotter ID and the port for each connection dened in Server Manager are the settings that need to be estab-
lished in each installation of User Manager.
3.3.3 Server Manager (additional connections)
From the main screen of User Manager, you can manage connections through the connection manager using Options
and Connections. The dialog box shows a list of previously dened connections and lets you edit existing settings by
deleting from or adding to the list. You cannot delete the last connection, because a minimum of one connection is
required.
By default, the installation User Manager denes a connection as PLOTTER-DEFAULT, which establishes a link to
the Server Manager server located in the local computer (whose IP address is 127.0.0.1).
