Im assuming by DT you meant datasocket .
Most of the configuration in the datasocket server does not need to be touch unless the application needs something really specific. Plus you would only need to make the change once and the server would save the setting for you.
And if there is an active connection, users cannot close the datasocket server on the taskbar since they will get an error message saying that an application is using this and has a reference open to it. So it will not allow users to close the server.
For master-slave type applications, the default settings of the datasocket server should work.
