              title Note
              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.

        2. Failover server and client—installation of the client and server services enhanced with the FailOver capability. In emergency (power outage, network problems), the FailOver technology restores the

    NoteWe 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.

    16. 1. Attention!

           For stable operation with more than 500 cameras on a single server, the Failover server and client (cluster type—independent nodes (see Creating and configuring independent nodes)) installation type is required. For stable operation with more than 1,500 cameras in a single Axxon One domain, the Failover server and client (cluster type—independent nodes (see Creating and configuring independent nodes)) installation type is required on all servers.

        2. Client—installation of only the client that allows the user to connect to any server and perform administration/management/monitoring operations with the protected facility based on the permissions granted by the administrator.
