A.1 Overview System

1 VisualGroups must be installed on the same system as SwyxWare. This is necessary because VisualGroups depends on the SwyxWare CDS service and connects locally. In addition, the ECR scripts connect locally (via HTTP) to VisualGroups' IIS Web service.

2. The VisualGroups database can be hosted as required. It does not need to be hosted on the same machine as SwyxWare.

3. If you are running the unattended installation mode, you can specify a database name that allows multiple VisualGroups instances on a single SQL server.

4. The data traffic from SwyxIt! as well as configuration pages or wallboards is primarily sent via HTTP.

5. You can make the Web service accessible over the public Internet. As the client interaction takes place over HTTP, you can configure SSL and a domain name on the IIS web service and, depending on the scenario, allow a connection from all or from specific IP addresses. Note, however, that the ECR scripts connect to localhost and therefore do not use the configured domain name. See “TLS/SSL Activation in VisualGroups”, service.swyx.net/hc/en-gb/articles/360008304879.

6. If you restrict the connection via Internet to certain IP addresses, users with other IP addresses (e. g. from home office or mobile) can connect to SwyxIt! via remote connection but cannot access the VisualGroups service.
