('-' means RSA/512bit and RC2/40bit encrytion)
If you receive a message with an attachment, then an attachment
button will be displayed. Folder transfer data can't be overwritten.
<Others>
To make connection to WAN through router, Broadcast setting will
be required. (See in Broadcast setting for detail).
Other features are easy to understand.
Try first, you will see it. (See 8.Appendices and 10.History)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Others
- Setting is saved in the following registry key.
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HSTools\IPMsgEng
(If port number has been set, IPMsg + port number)
When changing your registry number, please re-start ipmsg.
- Password for Lock and Seal is saved in registry with encording.
*******************************************************************
* If you forget the password, remove it in the following registry *
* key. \\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HSTools\IPMsgEng\PasswordStr *
*******************************************************************
- This software can be used for Mail delivery check.
Check URL at [Support],You will find UNIX mail server software.
- Normally use 2425 port for TCP/UDP. (See 8. Appendices)
Use 2425 port only for UDP with no File(Folder) Transfer.
(These ports should be activated when using firewall software.)
- Protocol specification comes with source.(Japanese)
- Broadcast messaging happens only at [Start/End], [Absencemode],
[Refresh].
- Compiled by Visual C++4.1(J)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
6. WAN settings (Broadcast Settings)
- All bits of Host part have to be 1 in the receiver's IP address.
For example, connect to Class C(network 24bit, host 8bit) address
"aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd", broadcast address will be "aaa.bbb.ccc.255".
If network uses subnet, it may not work.
- For more detail check TCP/IP books or ask network administrators.
- If you have difficulty to connect, especially over two or more
router connection. Set IP addresses independent.
- For dialup connection, check [Dialup connection] box on.
When press [Refresh], member list doesn't go off.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Appendices
- At startup IPMSG software, you can specify UDP/TCP port number.
IPMSG can run at multiple sessions.
For example, using [ipmsg.exe 2426] command, you can contact only
people who are using 2426 port.
- You can run as much as you want using different port number.
- Using more UDP/TCP port number, then 1024 is recommended.
(Between 10000 - 60000 may be more safer)
For example, Known NFS software uses 2049/UDP.
Ask network administrator
- Specifing NIC (for multi NIC environment)
ipmsg.exe [port] /NIC nic_ipad
