# Network Thread Count

Specifies the number of network threads used by the EMS server.

The threads count can be any positive integer. The default value is 1.

When set, this property allows the EMS server to control the number of threads while still allowing the system administrator to control the thread affinity externally (for example, by using the Linux taskset command).

If you intend to set the thread affinity externally, we recommend that you avoid setting any thread affinity in the EMS server for either network traffic of stores.

Note: The EMS server ignores this property if the Processor IDs property is also specified.

## Classic Configuration

The network thread count is set using the network_thread_count property in the tibemsd.conf file:

    network_thread_count threads

## Administration Tool

This property cannot be set using the administration tool.
