Connection management

Scroll Prev Up Next More

MappRover needs a Application Server as backend. Therefore it is necessary that you define the necessary parameters to access a Redbex Application Server from within MappRover before you can login to MappRover.

Note: MappRover allows you to define any number of connections to different Redbex Application Servers. However only one connection can be active at a specific time, i.e. you will always work with one specific Redbex Application Server at one time.

Opening connection management

The Connection management page is accessible from the Login page by selecting the Change connection link. Note that if there is no connection defined yet the application will directly automatically take you to the Connection page and not to the connection management page.

Adding a new connection

To add a new connection select the + Button in the navigation bar. This will bring up a Connection page where you can define all the necessary parameters for a connection. Table 1 shows the properties you have to define for a connection
