Use this screen to add/modify DS-System connection setup entries.
 
DS-System connection entry
Primary
Check to indicate if this is the Primary connection. The DS-Client will use the Primary connection first, to connect to the DS-System. All other connection entries are considered alternate entries, to be used only if the primary connection fails.
DS-System address (IP or DNS)
A list of the DS-System’s address(es) that can be used for this connection entry.
You can enter an IP address or a DNS host name.
Multiple addresses can be entered, if your service provider provides multiple addresses to connect to this DS-System.
Add / Modify / Delete
Click this button to add, modify, or delete entries from the DS-System address list.
 
Pre/Post
This option can be used to run commands on DS-Client when connection to DS-System is required. This can help in some network situations, like dealing with firewalls.
Pre-Command
Enter a command to run on the DS-Client computer before it connects to the DS-System. Click Test to run the command and view the exit code it returns.
Post-Command
Enter a command to run on the DS-Client computer after it disconnects from the DS-System. Click Test to run the command and view the exit code it returns.
Consider connection failed if pre-exit code
Specify a number. If the Pre-Command returns an exit code that meets this condition, the DS-Client will:
Not attempt to connect to DS-System.
Log the error.
Consider Pre/Post individually for each connection
Check to run the specified Pre/Post commands for each activity that requires a connection to DS-System (even if the activities overlap). Uncheck to run the Pre-Command before the first activity, and to run the Post-Command after the last activity has finished (if the activities overlap).
Delay after executing pre-command
Enter a time (in seconds) to wait after executing the Pre-Command, before DS-Client connects to DS-System.
Delay after executing post-command
Enter a time (in seconds) to wait after executing the Post-Command. No activities will run on DS-Client.
