Re: xAP Floorplan

[James <james@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The web server that Floorplan uses is the Intranet ocx and the one=20
included in the current build of Floorplan is a little old. If you grab=20
the latest and replace the one in you system32 you should finding it=20
serving pages much better.  I do find Firefox loads the pages far better=20
and is also not effected by the memory leaks of IE when dealing with=20
ajax pages, like the Ping, Floorplan and Switchboard main pages.

The toggle problem is usually on that duplicate xAP toggle messages are=20
being sent. This can occur when the xAP hub gets bound to multiple=20
network cards. You mentioned GSX is loaded and the virtual nics that it=20
loads would cause the issuse. It's easily fixed though by a couple of=20
additional lines in the hub's config file. A how to is available here:
