Activating the web server in AdminClient
Before you can start working with the WebClient, you will firstly need to activate the octoplantweb server.
Requirements
Note
The web server is run via the browser. The following browsers are supported:
- Mozilla Firefox (version 32.0.0 onwards)
- Google Chrome (version 37.0.0 onwards)
- Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 10 onwards)
Note
Other web browsers available on request!
No special hardware or software is required for using the web server. The normal hardware and software requirements for the octoplant system apply. The latest hardware and software requirements can be found in the tutorial Installation requirements.
Note
To establish a connection with octoplant MobileApp for iOs to the server, you need to have installed
an iOS accepted certificate on the web server.
Note
For more information on the Client timeout, see the AdminClient tutorial.
Activating the web server
To enable the web server, proceed as follows:
- Open the AdminClient
- Enter your username and password
- Click on Global settings
The Global settings window will appear - In Global Settings, click on Web server in the left pane.
-
In the right plane of the Web server proceed as follows: – Check the checkbox enable Web server – Enter the ports (Default port for HTTP is 80, default port for HTTPS is 443; ports can be changed) !!! note HTTPSÂ communication uses a octoplant certificate. For details refer to launch Web server. – To add a octoplantserver, click on the button Add – Enter the display name (free choice) and the computer name. – Click on Save
Note
If you only have one server, you can use the entry Local (local host). If you have more than one single server you can add these individually
-
Click on OK to save your settings and start the web server.
Note
In addition to this, you can also find Factory Floor Status reports in the web server. These come at an additional cost.
If you wish to use Factory Floor Status with a single octoplantserver only, you do not need to configure any additional settings in the octoplant system once you have purchased the license and activated the web server. If you wish to use Factory Floor Status with a parallel server system, there are a few additional settings that you must configure. You must configure these in addition to purchasing the license and activating the web server.
