Verify an InTouch Access Anywhere installation

InTouch Access Anywhere is installed as part of the overall installation of System Platform. For specific instructions to install InTouch Access Anywhere, see the AVEVA System Platform Installation Guide.

After installing the component parts of InTouch Access Anywhere, you need to verify the installation before starting the configuration tasks.

To verify your InTouch Access Anywhere Server installation

1. Before using InTouch Access Anywhere to connect to your Remote Desktop server, log on using a standard Remote Desktop Client, select a ViewApp from Application Manager, and launch it. As a best practice, complete this step for each user expected to display ViewApps through InTouch Access Anywhere.

   This configures the initial setup and enables InTouch Access Anywhere clients to determine the list of available ViewApps.

   The InTouch Access Anywhere Server can be used immediately after installation.

2. Open an HTML5-compliant browser and enter the URL of the InTouch Access Anywhere Server:

   http://machinename:8080/ or http://IPaddress:8080/

   This URL automatically redirects to the full URL:

   http://machinename:8080/AccessAnywhere/start.html

   The InTouch Access Anywhere Server port must be specified in the URL to tell the browser to use the web server that is built into the InTouch Access Anywhere Server service. HTTPS may also be used, but will prompt you to continue without a secured certificate.
