| + | Configuration of the RADIUS Server is done by the //Evolynx Controller// tool. This tool is a Windows program which allows you to check and control status of the RADIUS Server, and also provides a user interface to modify the configuration settings. These settings are different from data managed by the Web Admin, because these settings are stored in an XML configuration file named **settings.xml**. All data managed by Web Admin are stored in the SQL Server database. \\ | ||
| + | //Evolynx Controller// tool can be executed by clicking on its icon in the Start menu, or by directly executing the program from Windows Explorer or command line. The //Status// tab shows current status of the RADIUS Service and some Performance counters. It also lets you Start or Stop the service. \\ | ||

| + | Most of the buttons shown above are active only when the Service is running. Those buttons will send a signal to the Service to execute a specific task. Those tasks are: \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | * Reload Configuration: Reloads the configuration file //settings.xml// and applies the changes. | ||
| + | * Reload RADIUS Dictionary: Reloads the dictionary file //radius.txt// and applies the changes. | ||
| + | * Reload RADIUS Clients: Reloads the Clients from API or from file //clients.txt// and applies the changes. | ||
| + | * Reload Proxy settings: Reloads the proxy settings from file //proxy.txt// and applies the changes. | ||
| + | * Clear Logs: Clears the current Log file stored in the Logs folder and truncates the Log table in database. | ||
| + | * Run Maintenance: Manually forces the Maintenance operations to be executed. Maintenance operations are normally executed on specific time intervals. | ||
| + | * Send Notifications: Manually forces the email Notifications to be sent. Notifications are normally sent on specific time of day. | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | In addition to above buttons, the are other buttons that are always enabled, regardless of the status of the service: \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | * Open Log Folder: Opens a Windows Explorer to location of Log files. This is handy when you are troubleshooting, because very useful information can be found in the log file. | ||
| + | * Change Settings: Opens the Settings window, which lets you modify the [[Configuration Settings]]. \\ | ||
