Checking the Network

The Network page checks and shows detailed information about network connections of the Automation Engine Server, including those to external systems like the License Server, WebCenter Sites and Devices.

The network checks are grouped into 3 categories:

• General: This category checks
  • if the Automation Engine Server can connect to the Online Help (http://help.esko.com).
  • if the DNS settings are configured correctly (does the server name of this server computer match with what the DNS returns to other systems when they try to access it).
  • if the License Server can be reached (in case of failure, basic network tests are done to verify DNS configuration and TCP/IP connectivity).
• WebCenter Sites: This category checks the network connection between the Automation Engine Server and the configured WebCenter Sites.
• Devices: This category checks the network connection between the Automation Engine Server and some configured Devices (RIPs, DFE's, Nexus or Odystar servers).

If there are no network checks available or applicable for a certain category, then that category will not be shown, except for the General category, which is always shown.
