The Windows Network Administration Utility, netadmin, allows you to add, edit, delete, and list Reality routing entries in the Registry on a Windows system.
To run the utility, enter netadmin at the Windows command
prompt.
Note: Only users with ‘Administrator’ privilege are allowed to execute netadmin.
The following main menu is displayed:

Note: See the topic Routing Entries for more detailed descriptions of these types of entry.
1. Destination Hosts
To add, edit, delete and list Destination host entries. A Destination host entry
defines a route to a particular remote system, allowing outgoing connections to
be built to it. See the topic
Destination Hosts.
2. Alternative Host Lists
To add, edit, delete, and list Alternative Host List entries. An Alternative
host entry contains a list of equivalent destination systems, in the order in
which connection is to be attempted. See the topic
Alternative Hosts.
3. Listening Ports
To add, edit, delete, and list Listening entries. A Listening entry defines a
route to the local system allowing smanager to accept incoming calls. See the
topic
Listening Entries.
4. Remote Databases
To add, edit, delete, and list Remote Database entries. A Remote Database entry
identifies a Reality database on a local or a remote host. See the topic
Remote Databases.
5. Local Databases
To edit, delete, and list Local Database entries. See the topic
Local Databases.
6. Session Manager Options
To change Reality session manager (smanager) options in the Windows
Registry. See the topic
Session Manager Options.
7. Refresh Session Manager
To request smanager to restart its listening ports. This should be
selected after changes to listening entries.
8. Defaults To display and change the
default database, realman directory and the default version of Reality.
q To exit the utility.
Note: When you quit from the main netadmin menu, if you have added, changed or deleted any listening entries, the following message prompt is displayed:
Listeners have changed, shall I refresh smanager [y / (n)] :
New or changed listening entries cannot be used until the
session manager has been refreshed or restarted. Enter y to refresh
smanager,
or n to exit without refreshing.

Chevrons (>>) Specify the position at which the user response is entered, when the
user's response is potentially long.
q Exits the current level (menu or prompt) and returns to the previous level.
y Specifies a yes reply to a question prompt.
n Specifies a no reply to a question prompt.
