Custom Satellite Specification
This feature is intended for MCS deployments that require
Note: Server-level access is required to configure and enable this feature.
Within the MCS root directory, locate the configuration file named local.ini. Each custom satellite must be declared using the following syntax:
CustomSatelliteX=customsatellite.exeReplace X with a numeric value greater than 6. Each key must be unique — duplicate key names are not supported.
The referenced satellite binary must be placed in the /MCS Root/www/ directory and referenced by its exact filename including the extension. For example:
CustomSatellite7=customsatellite.exeOnce defined, the custom satellite can be selected by supplying the t parameter with the same numeric value. For example: t=7
