Device Advanced Properties

Advanced properties set specific behavior for messaging devices.

  • Relay Server URL Prefix – the URL prefix to be used when the device client is connecting through Relay Server. The prefix you set depends on whether Relay Server is installed on IIS or Apache. For IIS, this path is relative. Acceptable values include:
    • For IIS – use/ias_relay_server/client/rs_client.dll.
    • For Apache – use /cli/iasrelayserver.
    Note: The value used in the client application connection for the URL prefix must match what the administrator configures in the URL suffix. Otherwise the connection fails. Test these value by using the Diagnostic Tool command line utility. See Diagnostic Tool Command Line Utility (diagtool.exe) Reference in System Administration.
  • Allow Roaming – the device is allowed to connect to server while roaming. Acceptable values: true and false. Default: true.
  • Debug Trace Size – the size of the trace log on the device (in KB). Acceptable values: 50 to 10,000. Default: 50.
  • Debug Trace Level – the amount of detail to record to the device log. Acceptable values: 1 to 5, where 5 has the most level of detail and 1 the least. Default: 1.
    • 1: Basic information, including errors
    • 2: Some additional details beyond basic
    • 3: Medium amount of information logged
    • 4: Maximum tracing of debugging and timing information
    • 5: Maximum tracing of debugging and timing information (currently same as level 4)
