Conference & Discussion

The DetectDevices script was developed to give a fast feedback on connection problems or any other failure within the DICENTIS wired system. It will simulate a device and give out an advanced log file which can be used to track sporadic or normal connection problems. The technical support will provide this tool to get a deeper look into some issues if needed.

If RSTP is not enabled in an looped system packets will loop infinitely exhausting all available bandwidth and could cause an overflow of MAC address tables. In the end it will result in a broadcast storm and breakdown of the entire network.

The DICENTIS Server has a own log file system which is working in the back ground and is called LogDump. If something went wrong during the operation it will be reported in there. In many times this is a good tool for error analysis as well as fault detection and will often requested by the Technical Support for pre-analysis. In the next Step-by-step guide it will be shown how to extract the LogDump file form DICENTIS Conference System.

This short instruction will show you how to return and activate DICENTIS licenses with the old license model. It is capt for documentation purpose since some old license system are still in the market. This instruction is only meant for the old license model with DCNM-LSYS and single function licenses which we stopped selling in 2024 and must be changed at some point in time to the new license model if you want to have further updates of our software. We will make special offers after the SMA extinguished to our customers and we expect that most of them will be switching within 5 years to Premium or Ultimate our new participant based license system. The new license system does only work with >5.00 or higher wile the register function was already implemented in 4.40.

If something is not working well in the Microsoft Windows Server it will be recorded in the Event Viewer (log files) and can indicate where the error occurs. This is a good tool for the Technical Support to figure out if there are considerable issues in the Windows and other programs.

DICENTIS installation log files are needed for further analysis for Technical support team if the software update failed or later some errors occurred. Below it is explained how you can extract DICENTIS installation log files.

The Conference protocol is a platform-independent protocol which is based on Web-Socket technology to enable scalability of the DICENTIS system and it connects with the DICENTIS web server. This is a small introduction to test if the web socket is basically working and if the connection is right.
