Workstation Configuration

The Workstation Configuration application is used to alter settings for individual workstations.

The Server Auto Discovery feature enables PhonePad 5 to automatically detect and connect with a PhonePad 5 Server on your network without you needing to enter the server's settings.

If Auto Discovery is blocked on your network by a router or other network device then you can override this feature and specify the Server's IP Address.

Disable Auto Login	If your computer is set to Auto Login, you can temporarily disable it. Perhaps you have changed your username or password. By disabling Auto Login you will be able to login using your new account details which will then be remembered the next time you login. Click the Disable Auto Login button.
Connection Timeout	Specifies how long PhonePad will wait for a response from the PhonePad Server when it is already connected.. The default is 15 seconds.
Remote Timeout	Specifies how long PhonePad will wait for a response from the PhonePad Server when attempting to establish a new connection. The default is 15 seconds.
Wait for Network Connection on Startup	If you have PhonePad set to start automatically when Windows starts, you may encounter situations where PhonePad is unable to connect to the server because the workstation hasn't yet established a connection to your network. If you check this checkbox,, on startup PhonePad will check for a network connection (either Ethernet or Wireless) and wait until there is a connection available before attempting to locate a PhonePad Server and connect to it..
Remote Trace	This should only be activated when requested by PhonePad Support as leaving it active for too long can affect PhonePad performance.

These default settings shouldn't need to be changed unless there are network conflicts on these ports.
