Edit CFBServer.properties File

The CFBServer.properties file specifies the runtime characteristics of the CFB Server. The directory containing the CFBServer.properties file must be placed in the class path before the directory containing the CFB Server class files. After the file has been edited, the CFB Server must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

The file contains several properties in the form of name=value. The available properties are listed next:

• listen.ports—The port numbers that the CFB Server will monitor for client connections. This is a space-separated list of port numbers between 2000 and 65534 (inclusive). The list is limited to 16 port numbers. For example:

  listen.ports=8901 8902
  

• control.timer—The number of milliseconds between scans for timed-out connections. After a timed-out connection is found, the port is closed. For example:

  control.timer=5000
  

  In this example, a scan will be conducted every five seconds.

• control.port—The port number that the CFB Server will monitor for control connections. This should be set to a single port number between 2000 and 65534 (inclusive). For example:

  control.port=8900
  

• trace.mask—A bit mask to enable debug tracing of the CFB Server. The value of zero should be used at most times. Enter a value of –1 to trace all events. For example:

  trace.mask=128
  

• trace.file—Specifies the output trace file name and location. Note that forward slashes (/) are used in the path name. For example:

  trace.file=../log/CFBServer.log
  

• control.allowed.inet—To increase security, use this entry to specify a space-separated list of the IP address that are allowed to connect to the CFB Server's command port. Note that host names are not allowed. The localhost IP address of ::127.0.0.1 can be used. For example:

  control.allowed.inet = ::128.247.234.39 ::128.247.234.42
  

  The IP address can also be in IPv6 format. For example:

  control.allowed.inet = ::fed0:0000:0000:0002:0218:b9ff:fe45:0a0a ::fcc0:0000: 0003:0003:0319:f9bf:fe45:0a0a
