To allow an openFT instance to act as a remote administration server, this must be specified explicitly in the operating parameters of the instance.
To do this, the FT administrator enters the following command:
ftmodo -admcs=y
Alternatively, you can set this operating parameter using menu system of the openFT Explorer: Administration - Operating Parameters, Protocols tab, Remote Administration Server option.
As soon as an openFT instance is declared as a remote administration server, the operating parameter Administration Connections is implicitly changed and set to 64! If a high load is to be expected, the FT administrator can increase this value, in particular if the openFT instance is also used as an ADM trap server. See section “Configuring the ADM trap server”.
For reasons of performance, it is recommended that a separate computer that only handles remote administration tasks and that possibly also acts as the ADM trap server is used as the remote administration server.
