Chapter 2: Creating a Server

Differences between a DCDirector server and a non-directed servers

Following are some of the concepts and differences between a DCDirector server and a non-directed server:

The DCDirector server designation is only a conceptual change in the way that DirectConnect Manager views the servers and can only be used with DirectConnect Manager.
The DCDirector concept gives DirectConnect Manager some additional administrative functionality.
You are not required to create or use a DCDirector, but it can give DirectConnect Manager a level of control over the servers.
Because the DCDirector servers and non-directed servers operate in the same manner, nothing needs to be changed in terms of connecting and using these servers by a client application.
