CtrlNet​

CtrlNet is the proprietary protocol used by Ctrl Suite to link all system elements together; it handles discovery, workspace sync and more to ensure the smooth running of the system. The following options are configurable:

  • Discoverable - Defines if the Ctrl Engine can be discovered on a network by Ctrl Designer & Ctrl Player incidences. When disabled, the incidence will be accessible using the API only. (It is recommended that Ctrl is set to be discoverable during the configuration and workspace creation process).

  • Debug Mode - All console messages will be saved in the logs when enabled. - Ideal for aiding tech support.
