17. Connectivity to the Servers

There might be time that the Fortex front-end loses its Internet connection to the Fortex Trade Server and Quote Server. Normally, both of the Trade Server and Quote Server fields should show a green background to indicate normal network connectivity. If their background colors turnes red and connection status message rolls up, that means the connection to the server is off. For example, Figure 17.1 indicates that the front-end connection to the Trader Server is active, while the connection to the Quote Server has been lost. One way to re-connect to the servers is to exit the application and then re-login. A more convenient way is to use the Connection function from the menu.

Figure 17.1

As Figure 17.2 illustrates, you can select Connect Trade Server to re-establish network connection to the Trade Server and select Connect Quote Server to re-establish network connection to the Quote Server.
