Communication server update​

If you installed a Communication Server, update its settings to use the main server's new IP address. Run this on the server where you installed the Communication Server.

  1. Navigate to C:\Program Files\BioStar X Communications Server.

  2. Run biostar-device-cert-enroll.exe.

  3. When the Certificate Enrollment window appears, enter the new IP address of the main server in the Main Server IP Address field.

  4. If the main server's port number differs from the default (21810), enter the new port number in the BioStar X Coordinator Service Port field.

  5. Click the Enroll button.

After updating the main server's IP address, a success message appears.

Info

  • If you didn't install a Communication Server, skip this step.

  • If you changed the port number on the main server where BioStar X is installed, run BioStar X Service Manager on the main server and check the Client Port value under SERVICE SETTINGS → BioStar X Coordinator Service.

  • For more information on installing the communication server, see Install Communication Server.
