Documentation for Axxon Next 3.1.1. Documentation for other versions of Axxon Next is [available too].

A Server can be added to an existing Axxon Domain from any Server within that Axxon Domain.

Attention!

Only unallocated Servers, i.e., Servers which do not already belong to any Axxon Domain, can be added

There are two ways to add a Server to an Axxon Domain, depending on whether or not it is present in the search results (in the Unallocated Servers group).
If a Server is present in the search results, you can use the following procedure to add it to an Axxon Domain:

  1. Select the Server in the Unallocated Servers group (1).
  2. Click or select Add to Axxon Domain from the context menu after right-clicking on the Server (2).


The Server will then be added to the Axxon Domain from the Unallocated Servers group.
Since the search for unallocated Servers is conducted using broadcast packets, the results may not include Servers located in a different subnetwork (for example, beyond a router which blocks broadcast packets).
In this case the option of manually adding a Server to an Axxon Domain can be useful; this option can be used with all unallocated Servers, including those present in the Unallocated Servers group.
A Server can be manually added to an Axxon Domain as follows:

  1. Select the option Add Server to Axxon Domain in the context menu of the Unallocated Servers group (the menu can be brought up by right-clicking the name of the group).
  2. When you do this, the Enter Server name window appears.
  3. In the Server Name field, enter the NetBIOS name of the Server to be added to the Axxon Domain.
  4. Click Apply.

The Server will then be manually added to the Axxon Domain.
After a Server is added to an Axxon Domain using any of the methods described, it will appear in the object tree.

Note

If a Server is not currently accessible when it is added to an Axxon Domain, it will be displayed in the object tree with the icon


The Server will be added to the Axxon Domain as soon as the Server becomes accessible. To cancel the addition of a Server to the Axxon Domain, you must select Undo adding Server to Axxon Domain from the context menu (by right-clicking on the Server name).
