M3 Server is a connectivity tool that allows  the M3 system to search the catalog database. It also acts as a usage monitoring tool, allowing administrators to view server information, TCP/IP port statistics, and database usage. Information  about the activity of every port is contained in the log file.

 

The M3 Server must be configured  for users to search  more  than a single database at one time, as in a central server  configuration.  This tool should only be config- ured by Mandarin technical personnel or by system administrators  with the assis- tance of Mandarin technical personnel.
