Setting Auto Start parameters
When your GhostCast session includes restoring an image file to client computers, you can set the server to start the session automatically. The start time can be based on a single parameter or a combination of parameters.
If you specify more than one Auto Start parameter, the session starts when one of the conditions is fulfilled.
To set Auto Start parameters
-
In the GhostCast Server window, click .
-
Do one or more of the following:
|
To use the time parameter:
|
Type a specified time using a 24-hour clock and within the next 24-hour time period.
For example, 5:30 AM would be 05:30, and 5:30 PM would be 17:30.
|
|
To use the number of clients parameter:
|
Type the number of clients that are connected to the session.
For example, if the threshold is set to 10, then the server waits and accepts clients until the tenth client. Once the tenth and final client is accepted, the server stops accepting clients and starts sending out to the connected client computers.
|
|
To use the timeout parameter:
|
Type a number of minutes after the last client joined.
For example, if the timeout is set to 15, the server waits indefinitely until the first client is accepted. After the first client joins, the 15 minute countdown starts. If no more clients join, the session starts 15 minutes later. If another client joins before the 15 minutes timeout, the timeout counter resets to 15 minutes and starts counting down again.
