-FIXME+==== Node Display Interval (seconds) ==== 
 +This setting controls the frequency of updates to the "Node" window in the Synchronet Control Panel. This setting is only applied when the Node window is visible. 
 + 
 +==== Clients Display Interval (seconds) ==== 
 +This setting controls the frequency of updates to the "Clients" window in the Synchronet Control Panel. This setting is only applied when the Clients window is visible. 
 + 
 +==== Semaphore Check Interval (seconds) ==== 
 +This setting controls the frequency at which semaphore files are checked. Lower numbers mean more disk or CPU activity, even while the BBS is idle. 
 + 
 + 
 +==== Minimize to System Tray ==== 
 +When checked, this setting will place a small icon in the Windows "system tray" or "notification area" (usually in the lower right corner of your display) when the Synchronet Control Panel is minimized rather than a normal icon/button on your task bar. The system tray icon is also animated when the BBS is in use. 
 + 
 +=== Password === 
 +When minimized to the system tray, you can optionally require a password to be typed by the local user for the Synchronet Control Panel to be restored/visible. This is a very simple security measure to help prevent un-trusted users of your system from stopping or re-configuring your BBS services (when minimized). An advanced malicious user could easily find other ways to stop or reconfigure the BBS.

-FIXME+The settings on this tab control the automatic throttling, logging, and filtering/banning (both permanent and temporary) of clients (IP addresses) that repeatedly try and fail to login to your BBS. 
 + 
 +**See How-To: [[howto:block-hackers]] for more details on these settings**.

 {{:monitor:sbbsctrl:sbbsctrl.customize.png?nolink|}} {{:monitor:sbbsctrl:sbbsctrl.customize.png?nolink|}}
  
-FIXME+The settings on this tab allow the sysop to customize the look of the Synchronet Control Panel windows. Each window can have the following customized: 
 +  * Font Face, Style, Size and Color (for each log level) 
 +  * Background Color 
 + 
 +==== Schemes ==== 
 +Customized settings for one window can be easily cloned into another window by using the **Apply Scheme To:** button. The **Scheme** text box just shows an example of the current color/font scheme for the selected window. Changing the upper-left window selection resets the current scheme to that of the newly selected window. Changes to that scheme can then be made with the **Change Font** and **Background Color** buttons and then applied to a new window by selecting a target window with the lower-right window selection and clicking the **Apply Scheme To:** button. 
 ===== Advanced ===== ===== Advanced =====
  
 {{:monitor:sbbsctrl:sbbsctrl.advanced.png?nolink|}} {{:monitor:sbbsctrl:sbbsctrl.advanced.png?nolink|}}
  
-FIXME+==== Control Directory ==== 
 +This setting points to your Synchronet ''[[dir:ctrl]]'' directory. The value is normally automatically derived from the ''[[config:env#SBBSCTRL]]'' environment variable, but you can override this value here if you wish. 
 + 
 +==== Temp Directory ==== 
 +This setting determines where Synchronet will store temporary files. The default is ''[[dir:temp]]'' off of the same parent directory as your ''[[dir:ctrl]]'' directory (i.e. ''../temp''). 
 + 
 +==== Hostname ==== 
 +The DNS host name of this instance of Synchronet may be over-ridden using this setting. If not set, the value from [[util:SCFG]]->Networks->Internet->Address is used for the system's public host name, where needed. 
 + 
 +==== Log Window Size ==== 
 +Log windows in the Synchronet Control Panel consume memory (for scroll-back history). To limit this memory consumption, set this value to a specific number of lines (log history) to store in the Window. Logs written to disk are not limited by this setting. 
 + 
 +==== Error Sound ==== 
 +This setting is used to specify the path to an optional WAV file which will be played on the local/server system every time there is an error condition detected in the system and logged. 
 + 
 +==== Undockable Windows ==== 
 +Checking this box allows the child windows of the Synchronet Control Panel to be "undocked" from the parent window and floated (e.g. on another monitor). 
 + 
 +==== Use File Associations ==== 
 +Checking this box causes the Synchronet Control Panel to use Windows' file associations for opening text and configuration files with common file extensions/suffixes (e.g. ''.txt'', ''.cfg'', etc.). When unchecked, a simple text editor built into the Synchronet Control Panel will be used to open and edit these types of files.
 ===== JavaScript ===== ===== JavaScript =====
  
 {{:monitor:sbbsctrl:sbbsctrl.javascript.png?nolink|}} {{:monitor:sbbsctrl:sbbsctrl.javascript.png?nolink|}}
  
-FIXME+The settings in this tab allow the sysop to change the operating parameters of the JavaScript run-time used in all Synchronet Servers and Services.
