client limitations

[andheri]

Dear sir,

i am using datasocket connection to transfer the data between computers. Presently i am having one computer as a server and from that server  we are sending the data using datasocket write function. In the client side i am using datasocket read function i am reading the data. There are one server computer and 5 client computers. I have made one server exe and  one different exe for client computer. when i installed server exe on any computer its becomes as server and same for the client. Now i want to restrict this client limitations i.e. no. of clients.How can i do it? i want to restrict this client limitations programatically so that user can not change it.

thanking you

If you are using a DataSocket connection, the standard way to control the number of clients is by using the DataSocket Server Manager.  To do this programmatically, you would probably have to use the lower-level TCP/IP VI's and it would require some extensive programming.  I would recommend that you looking into our LabVIEW DSC Module, which provides user-level security VI's that can be used to limit the number of clients, and provide additional security options as well.  Please view the link below for more information.  Thanks Falgandha!
