Previous page Starting a Server  Running multiple Axxon One Clients Next page

The Axxon One Client can be started manually using the Start menu, which is intended for launching user programs in Windows.

Note

To launch the Client from command line, you have to specify the following parameters: login, password and Server.

For example: C:\Program Files\AxxonSoft\Axxon One\bin>Axxon One.exe --login=root --password=root --server=127.0.0.1

To connect to multiple Servers, specify their addresses separated by commas.

For example: C:\Program Files\AxxonSoft\Axxon One\bin>Axxon One.exe --login=root --password=root --server=10.0.11.30, 10.0.11.34

To start working with the software, perform the following steps:

  1. Select Start → All Programs → Axxon One → Axxon One.

    Note

    The Axxon One software package program file Axxon One.exe is located in the folder <Axxon One installation folder>\Axxon One\bin\.

    Note

    To start the Client in Safe mode with OpenGL software emulation, select: Start → Programs → Axxon One-Axxon One (Safe mode).


    The Axxon One Client will then launch and an authorization window will appear.



  2. Select a Server to connect to, and specify a port number. 

    Connecting the Client to the Server behind NAT

    Note

    If the software is accessed by a remote user, the NetBIOS name or IP address of the computer with which the connection is established should be indicated in the Server name or IP address field.

    Note

    The order of the Servers in the list is as follows:

    1. Preferred Servers (see Selecting Preferred Servers).
    2. The latest Server that was connected to.
    3. Other Servers are in alphabetical order.

  3. Enter the user name and password and click Connect.

    Note

    The first login to the system is done with the user root, which has administrator permissions. Enter root in the User Name and Password fields. The administrator then needs to configure the system for multi-user access described in detail in the section titled Configuring user permissions.

    Attention!

    You need to match software versions between the Server and the Client. The Drivers Pack's version must be the same as well.

    It is strongly recommended to avoid any connections if the product versions do not match.

    Connecting LDAP users

  4. If the user requires the access confirmation by the system administrator, enter corresponding credentials and click Connect.

Attention!

When you first start the Client, the archive settings tab opens (see Configuring archives).

After the archive is created, camera addition starts automatically (see Adding and removing IP devices). IP Device Discovery Wizard launches.


If authorization is successful, a video surveillance monitor will be displayed on the screen.



Note

If Axxon One is launched in Axxon One Demo mode, then after you enter the authorization parameters, a message to this effect will appear (see the section Axxon One in Demo mode).

If the Server to which Axxon One is connecting does not belong to any Axxon-domain, after the Connect button in the authorization window is clicked, a message is displayed.



To connect to the Server, you must either create a new Axxon-domain based on the Server or add the Server to an existing Axxon-domain.
If you choose the first option, click OK in the message and follow the instructions given in the section Creating a new domain. For the second option, click the button and follow the instructions given in the section Adding a Server to an existing domain.
