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 incoming non-H.264 videos into MJPEG format, therefore the incoming traffic may increase dramatically.

To configure the web server in the Axxon Next software package:

  1. Select a Server object.

  2. If you want to disable the web server, set the value of Enable to No (1).

  3. In the Port field, enter the port number on which the web server will be located (2).

  4. In the URL path field, enter the prefix that is added to the server address (3).
  5. To connect to a web server via the HTTPS protocol, do the following:

    1. Specify a path to the certificate (4).

      Attention!

      Axxon Next supports TLS encryption v1.2 and 1.3 with AES GCM, AES CCM and AES CBC algorithms.


    2. Specify a path to the private key (5).
    3. Enter a port number to connect to the HTTPS server (6);

  6. If you want to enable CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing) in the Web server, select the corresponding parameter (7).
    The  Axxon Next VMS supports the following:

    1. CORS HTTP-headers for GET and POST requests;

    2. preflight requests.

  7. 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.
