Operation Modes

Local-Dongle-Mode

In the Local-Dongle-Mode, the G-Core SAM service connects to all local dongles, reads their information and processes all requests. Select this mode for a server installation with locally connected dongles or for a central option server installation.

Local Dongle Cache:

The local dongle cache is a backup mechanism that saves all local dongle information on the system and makes it available for up to 30 days in case a dongle fails. In case of an error, a windows event log entry is created.

Remote-Dongle-Mode

In the Remote-Dongle-Mode, the G-Core SAM service is connected to a remote SAM and forwards all requests and responses. Use this mode if you have a central option server. You must then select this mode for all remote systems connected to the central option server.

Local Options Cache:

The local options cache is a backup mechanism that saves all requested options of this system on the system and makes them available for up to 30 days if the connection to the remote SAM is lost.

Two different actions are generated in the G-Core system depending on the current state of the system:

• SystemError: This action is triggered repeatedly when the connection to the remote SAM is lost and contains the last time the connection was established.

  

• SystemInfo: This action is triggered when the connection to the remote SAM is established or reestablished.
