Server IP Address

Key name in the configuration file: serverIp

Value type: String

Possible values: Any valid IP address or empty string

Default value: "" (empty)

If this setting is set to a valid IP address, AggreGate Server listens for incoming connections of Devices, AggreGate Clients and Web Desktop users only on this IP address. This setting may be useful to run multiple instances of AggreGate Server on a single hardware server that has several IP addresses. In this case, every instance of AggreGate Server will accept incoming connections on the same ports, but on different IP addresses.

Other system services that accept incoming network connections, such as SNMP Trap Listener, use this setting to listen for connections on a certain IP address only.

This IP address is also written as a Destination IP to the External Device Servers that are being connected to the AggreGate Server.
