Connection settings for a mobile server

When you add a mobile server to your XProtect Mobile app you must configure the following settings:

Setting

Description

Name

The name of the server.

The name displays in the list of servers on your device and can be anything you want.

Address

The IP address of the computer where XProtect Mobile-Server is running. If you don't know the IP address, you can insert the host name of the computer.

Port

The port number that XProtect Mobile client uses to communicate with the server. The default port is 8081. For secure connections, the default port is 8082.

If you edit the port number, you must also edit the corresponding port number on the server side. Otherwise, the XProtect Mobile app and the server cannot communicate.

Secure connection

Indicate whether you will use an HTTPS connection to connect to the mobile server. The setting is enabled by default.

If you disable the Secure connection setting on the app side, you need to make sure that the HTTPS connection setting on the mobile server side is also disabled. Otherwise, the XProtect Mobile app and the server cannot communicate.

If in doubt, ask your system administrator.

User name

Your user name.

Password

Your password. The user name and password can be based on either XProtect basic users, which are set up in Management Client or Management Application, or domain users.

Save credentials

Indicate whether you want XProtect Mobile to remember your user name and password for the next time you connect to an already added server.

Default server

Indicate whether to log in to this server when you open XProtect Mobile.

Receive notifications

Indicate whether you want to receive notifications.

Notification settings

Indicate the type of notifications that you want to receive:

  • All alarms - You will be notified when any alarm is triggered, regardless of the alarm's owner or source
  • My alarms - You will be notified when an alarm that you own is triggered, or when someone assigns an alarm to you
  • Disable Alarms - You will not be notified when events trigger alarms. However, you will be able to see those alarm events listed under Alarms
