Network Status Window

 

This window displays information about Ascendis Caller ID's network usage.

 

Connected Clients

Shows the Ascendis Caller ID clients that are connected to this Ascendis Caller ID server.  If Ascendis Caller ID is not running as a server, there will be no entries here.  Real-time clients appear here the whole time they are connected, which is normally the whole time they're running.  Polling clients only appear during polling events.  Normally the polling event doesn't take long, so you may miss it if you don't watch carefully.

Connected Servers

Shows the Ascendis Caller ID server to which this Ascendis Caller ID client is connected.  If Ascendis Caller ID is not running as a client, there will be no entries here.  If running as a real-time client, the IP address of the server should appear here all the time.  If running as a polling client, the server's IP address will only appear here when a polling event occurs.  Normally the polling event doesn't take long, so you may miss it if you don't watch carefully.

Hosted Servers

Shows which servers are being hosted by this Ascendis Caller ID server.  If Ascendis Caller ID is not running as a server, there will be no entries here.  Currently Ascendis Caller ID offers several servers: real-time, polling, web, and TiVo.
