Configuration Requirements
Default Access Details
The default port number is 8443.
The default Mobile Server IP Address is the same as the Management Server Address.
How to Change A Mobile Server Port
Whilst the default port is 8443, you can change it by following these steps:
Open the Topology page and navigate to the Integration Services tab and click on the Mobile Server:
Click the Edit button:
You can then amend the port number as required and then click Save to save the change:
Remote Network Access Suggested Examples
Example 1
This is a simplest scenario with a local network where the Mobile Client is on the same network as the Mobile Server. This assumes that all Witness services are installed on the local network:
...
Example 2
This example has a private network that spans two different sites but is connected via a VPN. In practical terms this is the same as the first option because the VPN is transparent to the Client PC.
It assumes that all Witness services are installed on the Site A network and that both sites have access to the same internal DNS Server or name resolution system, so that the Mobile Server hostname can be used by the Client:
...
Example 3
The last suggested example has a mobile device remotely accessing the Mobile Server across the internet. In this scenario the Mobile Server has to be exposed to the internet.
The following assumptions have been made:
All Witness services, except the Mobile Server, are on the local secure network.
The internet connected firewall / router has one or more public static IP address.
There is a public domain that can be configured with a DNS A record for one of the public static IP addresses.
The firewall can be configured with appropriate security rules and NAT configuration to allow the incoming client requests to be forwarded to the Mobile Server.
The default port of 8443 is used, however, externally any port could be used, including 443 as long as this is mapped internally to the port configured on the Mobile Server.

Mobile Server Resilience
...
| Info |
|---|
Note that the Mobile Server resilience is based on an Active-Active configuration. A client can use any of the installed servers. |
Using the Round Robin DNS approach means the DNS server would provide alternate IP addresses from all of the Mobile Server entries configured for a common domain name.
The first request from a client gives the first IP address which means that the client will connect to the first mobile server.
The next client requests an IP address for the same name but it now gets the second IP address in the list so it will connect to the second mobile server.
This provides load balancing because you share clients between the available servers. More importantly it gives you resilience because if a mobile server goes down and a client tries to connect to it and fails, when it tries again it will be given the address of the next available mobile server in the list which it can then connect to.
Configuration of the site network is outside the scope of the documentation and is not the responsibility of Navtech.
& Requirements
Please refer to: Setting Up the Mobile Client.
Getting Started
To enable the Mobile Server, you will need to obtain a Google API Key. Here is a link to the Google API Key page: https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/api-keys#creating_an_api_key.
Navigate to Topology > Integration Services.
Click the Edit button to enter your API Key:
Once you have entered your API Key click Save.
The IP Address of the Mobile Server, and a field for the API Key of your system will be displayed, similar to the example below:
Open a web browser and enter the following with your system's Mobile Server IP Address and Port Number: 8443. https://(Address):8443
