General settings
To enable the currently configured listener check the box in front of the Enable this listener option. To edit or specify the listener address use the IP related text boxes. Listeners are uniquely identified by their address attribute. Two or more listeners cannot have the same address value - only the first object correctly defined is considered. This will be the IP address followed by a colon and the port number.
Flow control
Within the Flow Control section you can enforce global access limitations to this listener by setting the maximum number of: simultaneous connections, concurrent connections from each remote IP address, new connections made in a defined time interval and connections from each remote IP address in a defined time interval. The default time interval is set to 1 minute. Use the up and down arrows and drop-drown menus to specify the necessary parameters and time values.
Note:
- You can also set up Flow Control for specific IP sets by creating Access Rules for this listener.
Access Control

Under Access Control you can define simple access lists to restrict the access to this service trough the defined listener. By clicking the Add Rule button addresses can be entered in a Network/Mask, Single IP address or IP Range format and the actions that can be taken are Allow and Deny.
Further use the up and down arrows (next to the Delete button) to set priorities between the rules and click the Flow Control button in order to enforce global access limitations to the rule, using the same options as the ones described in the above section. All defined listeners have created by default a rule allowing any IP address if no other rules match Service Rules.
Note:
- Listener level access rules will override for this listener any existing global access rules and service access rules.
Other settings
An inactivity period threshold can be defined for connections made to this listener to ensure that unused resources will be free and used to provide access for other clients. Check the box in front of the option under Other and then use the up and down arrows and drop-down menu to specify the time limit.
For a general description of listeners and their usage in AXIGEN see the Listeners sub-section in the Architecture chapter.
