Remote Server
A remote newFASANT server can be set up to execute a project remotely.
By default, newFASANT is run locally on your own machine, meaning that the kernels used is provided with the software installed and must have an active license for them.
With the Client-Server mode, you can define a new remote server where newFASANT software must be installed and must have an active license for the installed kernels. It requires setting up a connection to the server indicating its network route (IP address) and the port to which it will connect. Once the connection is established, the client sends data to the server, processing it and returning the results to the client.
To get a newFASANT server up and running, you must launch
the newFASANT executable within the installation
alongside the -server
argument. A port number can be specified
after the -server
argument, by default, it will use 3107 (no
additional arguments are needed).
