NX VMS Block

This page describes the NX VMS block of the Event Manager Constructor. The NX VMS block is designed to connect the IncoreSoft VEZHA Analytics System with NX VMS, enabling the receipt of event notifications from the system in the NX VMS Client.

Overview

To open the NX VMS block, in the Event Manager Constructor workspace:

  1. Select the NX VMS block icon
  2. See the NX VMS block

Use and Functionality

The NX block functional menu allows to:

  1. Enter the NX VMS server IP address or domain name after http://
  2. Enter NX VMS server port, 7001 by default
  3. Enter a source to filter events
  4. Enter NX VMS user's login
  5. Enter NX VMS user's password
  • HTTPS connection is not supported. Please, avoid using https:// in the URL field, as the request will not be sent.
  • If you have both VEZHA Middleware Core and NX VMS installed on the same server and intend to use 'localhost' in the URL, please ensure that IPv6 is disabled on the server. VEZHA operates exclusively on TCP/IP version 4 (IPv4). To prevent potential compatibility issues or errors, we recommend using an IPv4 address instead of 'localhost'.
  • Please avoid using the user's password with special symbols such as: "!@#$%^&*()", as it may lead to errors.
