TOP Server Connection Sharing Warning Message

I am receiving the following message in my TOP Server event log. What does this mean and how do I get rid of it?

Warning TOP Server\Runtime Unable to load plug-in DLL 'C:\Program Files\Software Toolbox\TOP Server 5\plugins\connection_sharing.dll'. Reason: 'Connection sharing plug-in failed to load due to lack of driver support.'

Background

Beginning with TOP Server 5.10 the Connection Sharing plug-in was added, which allows the TOP Server to support multiple protocols over the same COM port of modem connection for certain drivers.

For more information on this feature and a list of supported drivers review the TOP Server website here.

Resolution

Unless you are using this feature in the TOP Server you can get rid of the error message in the event log by uninstalling the feature. To do this, re-run the TOP Server and select the Modify option. On the page where you select which drivers to install, expand out the  Plug-Ins folder and deselect the Connection Sharing option.

Otherwise, you can simply ignore this warning message.
