21. We offer a separate installation package containing only the Axxon One client. To obtain it, contact our technical support. You can download additional packages from the official website. This installation package is intended only for client updates. You cannot install it on a computer where Axxon One was not previously installed.

22. 1. If you use more that 30 servers in one place or if they are located in different places, and you need to have a single user management on all servers, you must consult an AxxonSoft manager or technical support service.

To record all installation-related events to a log file, select
23. Set the Enable full installation log (increases the time of product installation) checkbox if you want to record all installation-related events to a log file and control the entire installation process (all available windows described on the page will be displayed).

    In Windows 11 OS and Windows Server 2019 OS, errors can occur in the server operation when Guardant drivers are installed. We don't recommend installing Guardant drivers. Installation of Guardant drivers is disabled by default. For the correct installation of Guardant drivers, you must disable the check of the drivers digital watermark in the operating system and disable Secure Boot in BIOS.

Note
title Attention!
Starting with Axxon Driver Pack 3.51, this driver package requires the Windows update KB2999226 to be installed. If this update isn't installed in the system, you will see a warning. To continue installation, download the update from the Microsoft official website. When installing the update, consider the bitness of your system.

35. Info
    title Note
    The following software is installed among the prerequisites: PostgreSQL 10.8.0 server database. If an older version of PostgreSQL is installed, it is updated to version 10.8.0. A new log database is automatically created (name: ngp, username: ngp, password: ngp). By default, PostgreSQL is installed on the system disk. You can change the path using the command line options of the installation file (see Silent installation (Quiet Mode)). NET Framework 2.0, .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and .NET Framework 4.0.

42. Select the folder for storing the log database and the metadata database used

in 

43. in Axxon One. 

    Note
    title Attention!
    You can specify the path to the folder for storing the database only once during the installation process. If necessary, you can change it, but you will need to reinstall Axxon One (without losing the configuration and video archive). The path to the folder for storing the log database and the metadata database must contain only Latin letters and digits. By default, the log database and the metadata database are located in the X:\AxxonOneData\ folder (in the Data and vmda_db subfolders, respectively), where X is the drive letter with the largest amount of free memory. In future, the metadata database can be placed in the network storage (see Configuring storage of the system log and metadata). To reduce the load on the system disk, we recommend storing the log database and the metadata database on a separate physical disk. To calculate the required amount of disk space for the log database, the metadata database and Axxon One, you can refer to Disk storage subsystem requirements.

44. By default, shortcuts are added to both Quick Launch Toolbar and desktop. If it's not required, clear the Add shortcut to Quick Launch Toolbar checkbox and the Add shortcut to Desktop checkbox.

45. By default, upon connecting to the server, the client can be automatically updated (see Automatic update of a remote Client). If it's not required, clear the Create archive for automatic update checkbox. In this case, you can save Axxon One installation time, but the clients will not be automatically updated upon their connection to the server.

46. By default, the Axxon One processes are added to Windows Defender Exception. If it's not required, clear the Add processes to Windows Defender Exception checkbox.
    

    Info
    title Note
    The Add processes to Windows Defender Exception checkbox is available starting with Axxon One 2.0.8.

       Note
       title Attention!
       The file browser helps to navigate through the server's file system (such as when choosing disks for archive volumes). The user account for the Windows file browser is created with administrator permissions. After installation of Axxon One, make sure that a file browser account has been created in Windows and belongs to the Administrators group.

56. Specify the range of ports that are used for the server. To do this, specify the lower end of the range, as well as the number of ports. This range can be used by the local network administrator

to 

57. to forward the port manually

 in

58.  in cases when it is necessary to give the client access to the server from another network. The minimum possible number of ports is 20. For a full list of ports,

    Info
    title Note
    Connected devices only work on ports from the specified range.

 If

62. If not enough ports are allocated, then some of the devices may not work or can be unstable. The number of ports that you select affects the scalability of the system. Keep the following in mind when specifying the number of ports: After the server is installed, it occupies 10 ports, including one for sending emails (via the SMTP service, see Email notifier). Attention! The Failover server and client installation type (see Configuring Failover VMS) uses 9 base ports and preset port ranges for each node (see Ports used by the FailOver system); In a 64-bit configuration, 4 ports are required for any number of IP devices. In a 32-bit configuration, 4 ports are required for each 32 cameras; Each archive requires 1 port; 1 port is required for viewing archive in the Web-Client; 2 ports are required for each decoded video stream on the currently opened layout in the Web-Client; 2 ports

 are

63. are required for mobile Client; 2 ports are required for any number of speakers in the system (see The Speaker object); 1 port is required for recording metadata into the database; 2 ports are required for operation of service detectors; 2 ports are required for operation of scene analytics detectors; 2 ports are required for operation of scene analytics detectors based on Neural tracker; 2 ports are required for operation of Neural counter.

64. If necessary, specify an alternative server address—the external address of the switch if the server is behind

the 

65. the NAT. Interface specification format: "IP address1 or DNS name1, IP address2 or DNS name2".

66. To restrict visibility of the servers on particular networks in the list of servers during Axxon One configuration, do the following:

    1. Click the Select network interfaces button. The Network interfaces window opens.

       Image Modified

    2. By default, use of all available network interfaces on the server is allowed, meaning that servers on the relevant networks are visible in the list. If you don't want for the servers on the networks of certain network interfaces to be visible in the list, clear the relevant checkboxes.

       Info
       title Note
       Depending on the network topology, it is still possible to reach the servers manually (if broadcasting is allowed between the network segments).

    3. Click the Apply button.

67. Click the Next button.

68. Create a new Axxon-domain with the name Default (for the definition of an Axxon-domain see Appendix 1. Glossary). If you want to add the computer to an Axxon-domain at a later time, select Server will be manually added to already existing domain later. Click the Next button.

    Info
    title Note
    When reinstalling Axxon One, you have the option of using the previous domain (select Use existing configuration). Using the same Axxon-domain name doesn't guarantee that the servers will be in the same Axxon-domain. To place all servers into one Axxon-domain, you must use Axxon One interface to add each server to the necessary Axxon-domain. Axxon-domain configuration is described in detail in Configuring

Axxon-

69. domains.
