You can use the Server Browser service to display the Search and Matching Servers and Load Balancers that are available in your network to a client. The Server Browser is a Windows service that listens on port 21200 for incoming browsing requests. The communication for server discovery relies on network broadcasts to locate available servers, which means that it functions best when servers are located on the same subnet as the clients. It is possible, though not always easy, to use the server browsing across subnets. Routers need to be configured to forward directed broadcasts on large networks. For more details see appropriate technical literature.

To find available Search and Matching Servers and Load Balancers in your network you can use the Server Discovery button in the Administration and in client applications, such as Kofax Transformation - Project Builder once the Server Browser service is running. When you select a server from the provided list the computer name and its configured port number are returned so that you can use this information to establish the connection.

In case you do not want the Kofax Search and Matching Server services that are running on your computer to be visible on the network, you can stop the Server Browser service. This has no impact on already configured connections to the Kofax Search and Matching Server.
