Settings
Within PackNet, server settings must be configured correctly for the software to communicate with any machines on the network. Make sure these server settings are correct before continuing the setup of PackNet.
Important
Do not change any server settings unless instructed to do so. Changing these settings may render the software unable to communicate with both the server appliance and any Packsize machines on the network.
