*** Network Settings ***

Your TCP/IP Address:

This is information only - in this line you can view your local TCP/IP address.

TCP/IP Port:

In this line you can enter a TCP/IP port, which will use Vypress Messenger.

To understand, that such of TCP/IP a port, imagine, that to each person have allowed to select some last digits in number of the telephone - so that in this situation to ring up the person, it is necessary to know, what digits it has selected. Or it is simples to all people to select identical digits. Just so and a TCP/IP port - you can select any number from 1 up to 65535 (however numbers up to 1000 to use it is not recommended), but then, that you could send the message, the person should use it sending just the same number of a port. Or you can use number by default and nothing to change (it is variant it is recommended). Number 7777 is used by default in programs Vypress Messenger and NetPopup.

You can interchange this value for safety reasons (that you could be written only by insiders), or if it requires your system administrator.

Delay, ms:

This parameter sets a slice of time in milliseconds (one thousand second) during which Vypress Messenger will try to send the message. If this number will appear too little - Vypress Messenger will not have time to send the message, if is too great - probably you will wait too lonely when to wait is useless.

The recommended number for use in a local network (is installed for want of pressing the button " LAN " - 3000 milliseconds (3 seconds), and for Internet - 60000 milliseconds (1 minute).

Utilize this protocol(s)

Includes the TCP, UDP or both in supported protocols.

TCP is default protocol to Vypress Messenger before version 2.1. For compatibility reason it is recommended to keep this protocol included.

UDP protocol used for broadcast messages. If you clear this box you denied Vypress Messenger to send and receive broadcast messages. For compatibility reason it is recommended to keep this protocol included.

Interface

Start as an icon

This  option  indicates  that Vypress Messenger start up as an icon rather than as the normal window.

Iconify window after last message is deleted

If checked, Vypress Messenger will iconified when all messages are deleted.

Use files to automatically save and restore messages

If checked, Vypress Messenger will automatically save all messages when they arrive and restore it from files at startup. This option prevents Vypress Messenger to keep messages while computer rebooted, program closed, etc.

Play this sound when new message arrives:

In this item you can include possibility to lose a sound for want of obtaining of the new message and also to indicate the file (with the .au extension), which will for want of it be lost. If you do not have sound card, the signal will be output through a built-in system speaker.

Don't display duplicated messages

This switch includes or switches off filtering the duplicated messages. This type of filtering allows mapping only first from the several contract of the absolute identical sent messages. For inclusion of this type of filtering it is necessary to you simple to include the appropriate switch on this page. The given type of filtering implements simples matching of the text of the come message with the text of the message, displayed in the present situation. In case of coincidence the come message is not mapped. So that if you delete the message earlier, than you one more will come precisely same, the come message will be again displayed. We recommend to not delete at once message, and to do it for want of accumulation of the several various messages.

Allow receiving the UDP acknowledgements

This option need to check if you want to control passage of messages sent via UDP protocol (UDP in general don't allow guaranteed checking message transferring - by this reason Vypress Messenger and Vypress Auvis sends call back messages with confirmation).
