VoxPro Network Configuration

If you install VoxPro on multiple computers around your LAN and begin to create user accounts on them, each computer will advertise its user list to the other VoxPro computers on the network. As a result, each computer can provide login access to all VoxPro user accounts on the LAN. There are two exceptions: the Administrator and Guest accounts are always local and specific to a workstation.

You can configure VoxPro to operate in standalone mode. On the Settings menu, click VoxPro Network, and then select the Disable VoxPro Network check box. In standalone mode, other VoxPro workstations on the LAN are not accessible. Other VoxPro workstations cannot share your user accounts.

You can also selectively configure other workstations and allow them to share accounts with users on your computer. On the Settings menu, click VoxPro Network. Do not select the Disable VoxPro Network check box. Instead, click on the workstations that you want to include for the purpose of sharing user accounts. Using this mechanism, clusters of VoxPro workstations belonging to one station can be logically separated from those belonging to a different station even though they share the same LAN.

Note   VoxPro uses UDP broadcast messages to communicate between VoxPro workstations. These messages are typically transmitted only to computers physically connected to the same network switch or hub.
