The web server allows accessing Axxon Next remotely over the Internet (see Working with Axxon Next Through the Mobile Clients, Working with Axxon Next Through the Web Client).
Attention
On the local computer with the Web server running, ports from the range [9001; 9001 + number of logical cores of the processor] must be open.
Attention
The web server recodes the video that it receives, by using the MJPEG compression algorithm. This codec can cause the bitrate (Mb/s) to become very large.
To configure the web server in the Axxon Next software package:
- Select a Server object.
If you want to disable the web server, set the value of Enable to No (1).
In the Port field, enter the port number on which the web server will be located (2).
- In the URL path field, enter the prefix that is added to the server address (3).
Click the Apply button.
The web server is now configured and available over the Internet at the following address: http://<IP address of Axxon Next Server>:<Port>/<Prefix>. For example, if the server's IP address is 10.0.11.1, the port is 8000, and the prefix is /asip-api, then the web server can be accessed at the following address: http://10.0.11.1:8000/asip-api.
