Configuring Network Settings

The Network Settings screen enables you to modify the settings on the Argus Safety Load Balancer Server, Argus Safety API Load Balancer URL, and Proxy.

Configuring Argus Safety load balancer

1. Go to System Configuration > System Management (Common Profile Switches) > Network Settings.
2. In the Modify Network Settings section, enter the Argus Safety Load Balancer Server and Argus Safety API Load Balancer URL.

   The Argus Safety API Load Balancer URL profile switch is available for the default enterprise. It is set at the global level and not specific to the enterprise.

   If you have the Load Balancer setup, then enter the Load Balancer URL. Otherwise, enter the Argus web server URL with port 8091 (instead of 8033) . By default, this field is blank.

   You must configure this profile switch. If it is configured incorrectly, the bridge configuration save and the case save operations fail or show unexpected result with generic errors.
