Cross-System client

Cross-System client is a feature that allows an operator or administrator of a security complex to connect from one client workstation simultaneously to multiple servers located in different domains and not united in a single system. Cameras connected to servers of different domains, as well as the settings of these servers are displayed in a single user interface.

This feature is convenient, for example, for geographically distributed objects or a large number of objects that you plan to configure together. This situation can happen when protected facilities are located at a great distance from each other, as well as if there are many objects that you want to configure together, but they must operate separately, and so on. An example of using this feature is the ability of the police to connect to the security systems of stores belonging to different retail chains.

The client connects to different domains automatically when you start it (see Automatic connection). First, it connects to the main domain. The client connects to other domains in the background after you start it. You can also connect to multiple domains manually in the client authorization window (see Starting the client). To do this, specify several servers separated by commas in the format: <Server1 name or IP address>:<Connection port>, <Server2 name or IP address>:<Connection port>, and so on. The server listed first will be the main server (see Automatic connection).

Note

You can connect Cross-System client to servers of a regular domain and a failover cluster at the same time. To do this, specify the servers in the client authorization window as follows: <Server2 name or IP address>/<Node name>, <Server1 name or IP address>.

To connect the client to multiple domains, the following conditions must be met:

each server to which the client connects has the Axxon One Professional, Axxon One Enterprise or Axxon One Unified license activated (see Types of licenses). For example, some servers can have the Axxon One Professional or Axxon One Enterprise license activated, while others can have the Axxon One Unified license activated;
Server name and IP addresses must not be the same;
connection to all servers is made using a single Username and Password pair that must be created in each domain.

When the client connects simultaneously to multiple servers from different domains, the system settings section is duplicated for each domain (see Server settings).
