Maxpro Network (maxpro-MaxproNetwork)
Figure 89. Maxpro Network properties
This component is available from the maxpro palette or from the New window. Typically, you add the network-level component from the Driver Manager view using the New window and it appears under the Drivers node of your station.
In addition to the standard properties, Status, Enabled, Fault Cause, Health, Alarm Source Info, Monitor, Tuning Policies, Fox Video Stream Preferred, and Poll, these properties configure HTTPS.
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Use Tls | true (default) or false |
Configures secure communication between the station and network devices. By default, the system uses TLS secure communication.
You would change this network property to
false only if a legacy device (camera) cannot support TLS.
If some devices on your network support TLS and others do not, you may add two networks of the same type: one for the secure devices, and the other for those that do not support security. To connect to a camera that does not support TLS, change the value of this property to |
| Address, Ip Address | IP address | Identifies the Supervisor PC on the Maxpro network. This should be the host name of the PC. |
| Address, Port | number |
Defines the port, when using the web UI, over which to transmit the camera’s video signal. 443 supports only secure communication between the camera and the station.
For a camera that does not support TLS secure communication, that is, if CAUTION: Be aware that the framework cannot prevent a flooding attack or other malicious activity if you choose to configure your application
without secure communication.
If using fox streaming, which uses the station to render the video stream, this port should be different from the station’s fox port. If you are not using fox streaming, this port should be the same as the station’s fox port. |
