    Usage:

    System consists of DWAGENT.NLM module running on every controlled server and DWMON.NLM running on main managing server. For demo purposes it is possible to start both modules on one server.

    Command to start DWAGENT.NLM is following:

    DWAgent /Nservername /Aipaddress /Pport

    where:

    /N - is the name used by managing server to identify every controlled server. It is not necessary to keep the same server name as it is set in NDS. Maximum length of this name is 12 characters. In case of omitting this parameter the default value will be assigned as exists in NDS

    /A is an IP address of the managing server. Required parameter.

    /P is an IP address port number of the managing server. When it is omitted the default value is set to 2100.

    Command to start DWMON.NLM module (version with 3 servers) is following:

    DWMON /N1servername1 /N2servername2 /N3servername3 /Pport

    where:

    /N1 is the name of 1st controlled server. Maximum length is 12 characters

    /N2 is the name of 2nd controlled server. Maximum length is 12 characters

    /N3 is the name of 3rd controlled server. Maximum length is 12 characters

    /P is IP address port number on which the managing server will be listen to control frames. While omitted the default value is set to 2100
