          The Windows OS will create two accounts when the Axxon One software package is installed using a Server and client type of configuration. An account with administrator rights which is used by the Axxon One file browser. The name of this account is set during installation of Axxon One. For Axxon One to function correctly, this account must have Windows administrator rights. If the account is a domain user account, you must also add the account to the Users and Power Users groups. The file browser helps to navigate through the Server's file system (such as when choosing disks for log volumes). The account can also be used for configuring access rights to the hard disk. Axxonpostgres – an account under which the log data database service is started. A log database (Postgres) is used for storing system events.

52. 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.

53. 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.

 If

74. 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

    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
