When working with Axxon One, keep in mind the limitations requirements that the developer has imposed on the system in order to ensure its operability.

No.Parameter

Limitation

Requirement

System requirements and graphics (OpenGL)

OpenGL version

1

To work with Axxon One, the following requirements for OpenGL must be met:

Version

2.0 and higher.

The following extensions must be available:

Required extensions:

  • ARB_vertex_program
  • GL_EXT_blend_func_separate

  • GL_ARB_framebuffer_object
.

You can check the availability of extensions with the using the OpenGL Extension Viewer program (download from the official website). This program also utility contains a large database of OpenGL support in for video cards of various vendors

Note
titleAttention!

If your computer's graphics card does not meet OpenGL requirements, OpenGL can be emulated in software. But in this case, the CPU load can be high.

2

You cannot start Axxon One client if the scale of all items on the screen (DPI) is over 100%.

If the screen resolution is set lower than 1280*960 pixels, the correct operation of Axxon One isn't guaranteed

3

The server and the client versions must be the same. If not, the correct operation of Axxon One isn't guaranteed

4

For the correct operation of Axxon One, the OS must use the UTF-8 locale

5Downgrade to a previous version of Axxon One is not allowed

from various manufacturers. If the video card doesn't meet the requirements, OpenGL software emulation is possible. In this case, CPU load increases significantly.

The maximum frame rate of video on the client is 50 FPS.

Frame rate drops when running in safe mode

Screen and DPI requirements

Screen resolution: Correct operation isn't guaranteed at resolutions lower than 1280×960 pixels

Version compatibility and updates
  • Server and client: The versions of the client and server to which you connect must be the same. We don't recommend you connect if the product versions aren't the same. The versions of installed DetectorPack add-ons must also be the same (see Installing DetectorPack add-ons).
  • Version rollback: Rolling back to a previous version isn't allowed.
  • OS localization: For proper operation, the operating system must use UTF-8 localization
Installation requirements
  • Administrator privileges: You must install Axxon One with Windows administrator privileges.
  • Installer path: The directory that contains the installer must not contain spaces at the beginning of its name.
  • Drivers: Before installation, make sure that your computer is using the latest version of the video card driver
Network restrictions and configuration
  • Server name requirements:
    • It is prohibited to have two servers with the same name on the same local network

7Maximum video frame rate in the client is 50 FPS. When Axxon One is running in the safe mode, the frame rate decreases
8

To install Axxon One, you must log in to Windows as administrator

9

For the correct installation of Axxon One, there must be no spaces at the beginning of the name of the folder that contains the installer

    • .
    • If the client name and server name are the same, correct operation isn't guaranteed.
  • Network interfaces and IP addresses:
    • Redundant interfaces: The server must not have redundant network interfaces. For correct operation, you must use different IP addresses on all network interfaces or use an interface mask to specify a list of addresses on which the server operates (see Network settings utility). To ensure that the server operates
10

For the correct and full-featured operation of Axxon One, the system must not limit network activity between all servers and clients.

If during Axxon One installation, you specified certain ports, the access to these ports via the TCP and UDP protocols must be enabled. Otherwise, access to all ports must be allowed in the system.

For the client to operate correctly, disable unnecessary network interfaces on the server. If you want the server to work
    • with only one network interface,

If there are identical IP addresses on the servers, there can be problems in communication between the servers, as well as between the client and the server

    • . Having the same IP addresses on servers causes communication issues.
  • Access and ports:
    • Network activity: The system must have no restrictions on network activity between all servers and clients.
    • Ports: If you specified specific ports during installation (see Installation), access to them (TCP/UDP) must be open. Otherwise, access to all ports must be open

Before installing Axxon One, make sure that your computer uses the latest version of the video card driver
