Device Setup - The “Connection Settings” Tab
The Connection Settings tab allows administrators to determine exactly how the client goes
about looking for and connecting to available hosts. The client can be preset to connect to
specific server groups or configured to search for avaliable hosts within its network.
A “vSpace Server server group” is a collection of one or more individual vSpace Server servers specified
by a name that is currently defined from inside each L300 device’s setup interface.
If a server group contains only one name (or IP address), then the L300 attempts to connect to that
server until successful or until the L300 is reset. If the server group contains more than one name (or IP
address), the L300 tries to connect to the first server in the list, and if no successful connection is made,
the L300 attempts to connect to the second server in the list (i.e., the device does an “auto failover” to
the next server). If the L300 does not successfully connect to the second server in the list, the device
attempts to connect to the third device in the list, etc. When the L300 reaches the end of the list, it
starts again at the beginning of the “server group” and continues until a connection is made or until the
L300 device is reset. (To allow for unusual requirements or server weighting algorithms, an individual
server name or IP address may exist in multiple places in the list.)
Whenever an L300 disconnects from a session, autoconnect (if set) begins at the top of the connection
cycle. The device does not keep track of the last server to which it successfully connected. Issuing a
device reset command from the admin console will also cause the autoconnect processing to restart at
the top of the cycle.
