Connecting to Industrial HiVision


Using HiView, you can start the Industrial HiVision GUI without installing Industrial HiVision. You can use the URL connection to Industrial HiVision to monitor the status of your network. This function offers you a limited version of the Industrial HiVision GUI.

To establish a connection to the Industrial HiVision "Web server", in the Industrial HiVision "Preferences > Advanced > Services (Access)" dialog, perform the following steps:
  • Mark the "Web server > Web server" checkbox.
  • Mark the "Project Data Server > Remote Access" checkbox.
  • Record the following settings:
    • "Web Server > Protocol"
    • "Web Server > Port"
    • "Project Data Server > Port"
      Starting with Industrial HiVision release 8.0, you can change the value of the "Project Data Server > Port". Record this value if you changed the default port value. If you changed the "Project Data Server > Port" from the default port value, then it is necessary to connect to the configured port.



    Note:
    You can find the default port values in the Industrial HiVision manual, chapter A.5 "Ports used".




Perform the following steps in the HiView Devices tab.

In the following examples, these values are used:
  • The "Web Server > Protocol" is https.
  • The IP address of the network management station is 10.0.1.159.
  • The "Web Server > Port" is 11194 .
  • For the second example, the "Project Data Server > Port" was changed to 10000.


When the "Project Data Server > Port" is set to the default port value, perform the following steps:
  • In the "URL" field, enter the following information: "Web Server > Protocol"://Management Station IP Address:"Web Server > Port".
    For example, https://10.0.1.159: 11194 .
  • Press the "Return" key.


When you changed the "Project Data Server > Port" from the default port value, perform the following steps:
  • In the "URL" field, enter the following information: "Web Server > Protocol" ://Management Station IP Address:"Web Server > Port"?project-data-port="Project Data Server > Port".
    For example, https://10.0.1.159:11194?project-data-port=10000.
  • Press the "Return" key.



Note:
The Web server port value that Industrial HiVision uses is version-dependent. You find the port that Industrial HiVision uses in the settings under "Preferences > Advanced > Services".
Starting with Industrial HiVision version 7.0 you find the current port number in the "Preferences > Advanced > Services Access" dialog.
