Fast Networking Chapter 19
BigBusiness 16 adds Fast Networking and BigBusiness 15 continues New Networking.
Both offer high perfomance and fault-tolerance and both are covered in this chapter in detail as you may switch between them to optimize control or flexibility as preferred.
Fast Networking Speed
Fast Networking helps you connect to your BigBusiness 16 Server about twice as fast.
Fast Networking optimizes for secure connections and gets connections in record time.
Fast Networking Setup
BigBusiness Networking helps you easily connect all computers at your main location.
BigBusiness is designed to start fast on your office network running Server and Client. If Big Business Server is running, Big Business Clients should see it and connect easily.
There are many options for Firewall, Remote Client, and Cloud Server. To start, check that the BigBusiness Server is running on your network and start BigBusiness Client.
Fast Networking Instant-On
Your BigBusiness Clients should instantly resume whenever their computers wake up.
Fast Networking Client Connection
Client Connection is updated for better security, speed, and connecting automatically.
Fast Networking Force Quit
Big Business Client works with Sleep settings on your Mac to connect again to your Big Business Server on waking . This is handy, except when Server is not to be found.
If Server was shut off, or if you switched networks, or it has been too long in Sleep mode, Client may not connect again and try to Quit. Or, it may need to be Force Quit.
Choose Force Quit in the Apple menu, click Big Business Client, and click Force Quit.
Networking End Task
Big Business Client works with Sleep settings on your computer to connect again to Big Business Server on waking . This is handy, except when Server is not to be found.
If Server was shut off, or if you switched networks, or it has been too long in Sleep mode, Client may not connect again and try to Quit. Or, it may need you to End Task.
In the Task Manager, click once to select Big Business Client and then click End Task. To open the Task Manager right-click on the Windows taskbar and choose from menu.
Networking Search & Select
Search & Select helps connect Client by trying both a search and a remembered Server.
Search lets a newly installed Big Business Client search locally for Big Business Server. Select remembers the address of a Server and tries it next, twice. This covers the bases.
This is the default setting for Remember Server and the best overall choice for success. To optimize for Remote Client, Wireless Networks, or Remote Server, see the options.
Fast Networking Select Only
Select is the Remember Server setting that lets your Client instantly select your Server.
This skips the default Search & Select that searches your local network for 10 seconds. Instead, your Big Business Client immediately selects the Server that it used last time.
