Configuration File Settings

The CallRexPacketForwardingService.exe.config, file located in the program installation folder, contains the application-specific settings for the Forwarding Service. This file is a standard XML app config file that contains the following application-specific settings in the <appSettings> area:

  • Enable Logging: Setting this value to true enables the creation and use of the QMS Packet Forwarding Service log file. This setting is generally used only for troubleshooting purposes as the log can grow to a large size quickly, based on network traffic. Therefore, this setting is false by default.

  • LoggingLocation: Specifies the full path for the directory to store logs if a location other than the default directory is desired. To enable this setting set the full path to the destination directory in the value field. The directory must already exist and the user account that the service runs under must have full read/write permissions to the directory.

  • DefaultInboundNicName: The name of the network interface to capture packets on in the case where a packet subscriber doesn’t specify a specific network interface. This value is commonly Local Area Connection.

The <baseAddress> setting, located in the <services> section of the config file, may need to be updated if there is a conflict with existing network application. This setting is the IP address and port number of the WCF endpoint where the service is hosted. The default port number is 65400. The IP address should remain localhost.
