Getting Started
1. From
the user interface, NT service menu, click on the 'Register 9.x
Service Control' menuitem. This will register the 9.x ActiveX
control on your system.
2. Click on the 'NT Service Module'
menuitem. The HitekService9 window will open.
3. Click on
the 'Install Service' button. This will add the program name
(Automize/AbleFtp/Jasftp/Autokrypt etc) to the Service Control
Manager.
4. The NT Service Module window does
not need to be kept open. You will only use the module to
change settings, or to remove the service.
5. Go to the Windows
Service Control Manager, via the Control Panel.
6.
Set the logon properties for the Service, as shown in the Recommended
Settings table below.
7. Start the Service.
Notes:
1. The port value in the NT service
module is read from a settings file, and should match the port value
in the user interface.
For Version 9.x, the
default engine ports are: Automize = 1982, AbleFtp = 1983, JaSFtp =
1984, AutoKrypt = 1985, JaBack = 1986.
2. The Period is the time interval in minutes, which the
service module, will check that the engine is running. The
default is 5 minutes. If the engine is shutdown, the service
module will restart it.
3. If you change the
Period value in the Service module, the Service needs to be restarted
from the Service Control Manager.
4. When the service is
stopped in the Service Control Manager, it will request the engine to
shutdown.
