Configuring Additional Settings for a Tunnel

Field	Description
Basic
Tunnel name	Type a unique name for the tunnel.
Autostart tunnel when created	Select this option if you want the tunnel to start as soon as it is ready without any user intervention.
Server
Server host	The default host value for the destination server is 127.0.0.1. Important: Do not change this value.
Port	The default port value for the destination server is 55580. Important: Do not change this value.
Client
Local IP address	The default host value for the destination server is 127.0.0.1. Important: Do not change this value.
Port	The default port value for the destination server is 55580. Important: Do not change this value.
Reverse	Select this option if you want to connect the tunnel to ActiveTransfer Server, create a tunnel back to your system, and then connect to a destination from there.
Channels
Maximum number of inbound channels	Type the maximum number of inbound channels to use for file transfers. These values should correspond to the appropriate multiplier for the speed gain you are looking for. Use the smallest value that still gives you the performance you need, usually 10 to 20.
Maximum number of outbound channels	Type the maximum number of outbound channels to use for file transfers. These values should correspond to the appropriate multiplier for the speed gain you are looking for. Use the smallest value that still gives you the performance you need, usually 10 to 20.
Stability interval (sec)	Type the number of seconds to build an average speed for a single connection. After this time is reached, channels are added.
Channel ramp-up	Type the number of channels to be added as the data transfer speed increases.
Channel ramp-up speed (Kb/sec)	Type the speed in KB per second for an existing channel to reach before a new channel is added to the tunnel.
Channel ramp-down speed (Kb/sec)	Type the speed in KB per second for an existing channel. If the speed of the channel goes below the specified speed, then the channel is removed from the tunnel.
Speed threshold (%)	Type the threshold of the speed in percentage for an existing channel. If the current speed is above the speed threshold value, then ActiveTransfer adds a new channel to the tunnel.
