Properties

• alias: defines an alias for the slave machine
• dispatcherAddress: sets the IP of a reachable master. If this property is set, the application will try to connect to it directly. If this property is not set, the connection mechanism will be the automatic discovery, that only works on a master configured on a local network shared by the slave aplication.
