To access the quick configuration, click on this symbol 
in the taskbar.
The window of the quick configuration will open.
You can set following values:
Serveradress:
The Server address has to be entered here. (The infoserver address is either the computername or the IP address of the computer on which the Infoserver is running).
Hint: Please mind to enter the correct serveradress for the client, otherwise no connection can be established. |
Port
Enter the corresponding port, to which the Infoserver is set to.
Speed
Here you can adjust the speed of the ticker. The higher your entered value is, the slower the ticker will progress, because the entered value resembles the refresh-time in milliseconds. Due to this and depending on the operating system, non-linear jumps may appear. This means, that the intervals of the ticker-speed regulation can be irregular.
Background
Here you can set the background color of the ticker. If you choose the setting background, then the background of the ticker will adapt to the desktop color. Optically the ticker will appear on a transparent background. If the user has an image as desktop background, the background color of the ticker will be set to the background color and not be adapted to the image.
Font Type
Select your desired default font type.
Status
Displays the connection status between client and server. Must always be on OK.
Otherwise you must check your connection settings.
Show in taskbar
Here you can set, if the Infoclient symbol shall be shown in the taskbar or not.
New Infos in taskbar
Here you can set, if you can access active Infos by clicking on a symbol in the taskbar (see Infogrid).
As Taskbar
Please note: selecting this checkbox will let the ticker appear as a taskbar, i. e. all active applications and desktop symbols are moved down analogue to the height of the ticker for the duration of the Info. |
If you don't select this option, the ticker will hover above symbols and applications.
Align on bottom
Selecting this checkbox will align the ticker on the bottom of the screen.

Users with the corresponding authorities can access the Infoserver administration page from this link.
