An endpoint initialization file is installed with each Performance Endpoint. With this file, you can perform the following tasks:
Restrict the use of this endpoint to specific AppManager, Vivinet Diagnostics, or Vivinet Assessor consoles
Control which access attempts are logged in an audit file
Change the filename of the audit file
Enable only particular protocols on this endpoint for setup connections
On most operating systems, this file is named endpoint.ini. This file has the same format and structure on all supported operating systems.
By default, the endpoint initialization file contains the following keywords and parameters. You can change these keywords and parameters to tailor individual endpoints for your needs.

The endpoint.ini file is an editable text file. There is a separate copy for each operating system. You should customize it before endpoint installation. Your changes are then incorporated into each installation for different sets of computers. You can modify this text file before installation by copying the endpoint installation directory for an operating system to a hard drive, preferably a LAN drive, and then modifying the file before running the installation from that drive.
