This setting is used to automatically connect:

  • the Client client to the Server server without having to re-enter entering the Server server name, username and password when starting the app;
  • the Client client to Servers servers belonging to different domains (see Cross-System Clientclient);
  • the Client client to the nodes of the FailOver failover system (see see Configuring Failover VMS).

If you connect automatically, the Servers servers specified in the Automatic connection parameters group will be used first. If these Servers servers are unavailable, the system will try to connect to the Servers servers from the Preferred servers parameters group following the set order (see Selecting Preferred Servers).

Configuring

...

the automatic connection

To configure the automatic connection, do the following:

  1. Select the Options tab (1) → Automatic connection (2).
    Image Modified
  2. From the drop-down list (3), select the connection protocol to the server.
    Description of the protocol and recommendations for selection are given in the table.
    ProtocolDescription
    TCPThis protocol is more reliable , but has a busy connection. We recommend selecting it for Servers servers with a small number of cameras
    UDP unicastUDP protocol has a higher data transmission speed, but it is less reliable. The unicast scheme is used to transmit data to a single one recipient.
    You must select this protocol for a Server server with a large number of cameras and which that has several Clients clients working with it
    UDP multicast

    The multicast scheme is used to transmit data to a group of recipients. This protocol is best suited for a Server server with a large number of cameras and which that has many Clients clients working with it.
    Attention! This protocol must be supported by To operate with this protocol, all network elements, including switches must support it

    The

    connection protocol of the Clients to the Server determines the choice either in favor of

    choice of either favoring connection reliability or

    in favor of

    data transmission speed depends on the clients' connection protocol to the server. You

    must

    can select the connection protocol for each

    Sever

    server of the domain. All

    Clients

    clients connected to the

    Server

    server will receive video streams via this protocol.

  3. For automatic authorization when connecting to Serversservers, enter the username and password (4). If you leave these fields blank, authorization will be performed manually when you start the Clientclient.
    Note
    titleAttention!

    Cross-System Client client connects to all Servers servers using a single username-password pair that must be created in each domain (see see Cross-System Clientclient).

  4. In the Connection timeout field (5), specify the wait waiting period for a successful connection before considering the attempt unsuccessful. The default value is 60 seconds, the maximum value is 300 seconds (5 minutes). If you use this setting, an automatic connection attempt will occur immediately. If the connection fails, the Server server will wait for the time period of time (timeout) specified by the user (timeout) and repeat the connection attempt.
  5. Specify the maximum number of automatic connection attempts after the specified timeout (6).
  6. Specify the Servers servers to which you want to connect. For each Serverserver, do the following:

    1. Select a Server server from the list or enter the Server server IP address (7).
    2. Specify the port for connecting to the Server server (8).

      • If you use the Cross-System Clientclient, you can connect to only one Server server of each domain (see Cross-System Clientclient). That is why Therefore, when you add a Server server to the list, all other Servers in that servers of this domain become unavailable for selection.
      • To remove a Server server from the list, click the Image Removed button.the Image Added button.

Configuring the automatic connection of the client to servers is complete. The next time you start Axxon One, the system will connect to the selected servers.
