IPMonitor Configuration
The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.IPMonitor Configuration Settings
| ListInterface:
Lists the interfaces visible to the WinPCap or NPCap driver. Returns a numbered list of interfaces visible to the WinPCap or NPCap driver on the system. | |||||||||||
| ReceiveAllMode:
Enables a socket to receive all IPv4 or IPv6 packets on the network. Available modes:
ReceiveAllMode captures only IPv4 and IPv6 packets. It will not capture other packets (ARP, IPX, NetBEUI packets, for example) on the interface. | |||||||||||
| SelectedInterface:
Used to select the interface the WinPCap or NPCap driver will listen on. Set this to the index of the interface the WinPCap or NPCap driver will listen on. Indices can be returned by querying ListInterface. | |||||||||||
| UseWinPCap:
Whether to use the WinPCap or NPCap driver. When set to true the class will use the WinPCap or NPCap driver available on the system. The default is false. |
Socket Configuration Settings
| AbsoluteTimeout:
Determines whether timeouts are inactivity timeouts or absolute timeouts. If AbsoluteTimeout is set to True, any method which does not complete within Timeout seconds will be aborted. By default, AbsoluteTimeout is False, and the timeout is an inactivity timeout. Note: This option is not valid for UDP ports. | |
| FirewallData:
Used to send extra data to the firewall. When the firewall is a tunneling proxy, use this property to send custom (additional) headers to the firewall (e.g. headers for custom authentication schemes). | |
| InBufferSize:
The size in bytes of the incoming queue of the socket. This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be receiving. Increasing the value of the InBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance in some cases. Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small. | |
| OutBufferSize:
The size in bytes of the outgoing queue of the socket. This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be sending. Increasing the value of the OutBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance in some cases. Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small. |
Base Configuration Settings
| BuildInfo:
Information about the product's build. When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CodePage:
The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations. The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001). The following is a list of valid code page identifiers:
The following is a list of valid code page identifiers for Mac OS only:

| LicenseInfo:
Information about the current license. When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a class is using. It will return the following information:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ProcessIdleEvents:
Whether the class uses its internal event loop to process events when the main thread is idle. If set to False, the class will not fire internal idle events. Set this to false to use the class in a background thread on macOS. By default this setting is True. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| SelectWaitMillis:
The length of time in milliseconds the class will wait when DoEvents is called if there are no events to process. If there are no events to process when DoEvents is called, the class will wait for the amount of time specified here before returning. The default value is 20. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| UseInternalSecurityAPI:
Tells the class whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation. By default the class will use the system security libraries to perform cryptographic functions. Setting this to True tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system's security API. |
