Advanced Settings

Reach this dialog via the system settings.

Warning: These settings are only for advanced users! Changing any settings can lead to significant changes in the system's tracking behavior and may even disable tracking functionality entirely. Only make changes if you know exactly what you are doing!

Note: All of these options are only usable if there is an active connection to the zactrack server as indicated by the symbol in the upper right corner. The configurations may appear empty and cannot be changed otherwise.

Allow Remote Maintenance

Checking this checkbox activates a mode that allows to maintain your system remotely.
Note: Only activate this if you really need to!

Network Configuration

Change the IP address and netmask of the Light Port of the Zactrack Server and if it is used from the Backup Server. It is necessary to restart the server. This can be done by clicking on the Ok Button, a confirmation is done by user.

System Config

Change the configuration file of the zactrack server. By changing/adding/deleting lines, several advanced system settings can be adjusted.

After changing this file, the zactrack server application will restart automatically.

The syntax for each line is:

property.name=value

Note: The lines have to match the above syntax EXACTLY in order to have any effect. Make sure that there are no spaces or '#' symbols anywhere. Double check for typos!

Here are examples for some of the most important properties:

osc.string=/zactrack/actor/

Change the OSC address part after an actor's name:
