The AxxonNet domain is a selected group of computers on which the Server configuration of Axxon One is installed. When the servers are united into a group, a distributed system is formed, which allows you to establish the interaction between the servers.

This page describes the specifics of working with the AxxonNet domain. General capabilities of domain management are described in Configuration of a domain in Axxon Datacenter.
