System processes
To check the status of the ProtoBase and TCP/IP gateway applications, you can view the processes running on the system using the Task Manager applet. To open the Task Manager applet, right click on your task bar and select the Task Manager option. Once Task Manager is running, click the Processes tab. The following processes is started:
• Pbdirect.exe (ProtoBase)
• Pbntsrvc.exe (ProtoBase service controller)
• Pbtsrv.exe (TCP/IP gateway)
• Pbcom.exe (if ProtoBase is in DIAL mode)
• Pbipcom.exe (if ProtoBase is in IP high speed mode)
• Pbipx25.exe (if ProtoBase is in Frame/X.25 high speed mode)
• Xtcpservice.exe (if ProtoBase eXpress Service is being used)
• Adntserv.exe (if RealVu is being used)
Note: For pbcom.exe, pbipcom.exe and pbipx25.exe there may be multiple instances of these processes depending on how many devices are configured on the system.
