If you are unable to establish a connection, install the client on the same machine as the service and confirm that the service is running.

Configure Email Settings

We recommend that you click the 'Administrator Email Settings Missing' link which will take you to the settings screen. Errors and important notifications will be sent to the email addresses you specify.

The Connexion UI is organized/grouped as follows:

  • Server: Represents an instance of the Connexion service at a specific Uri (host and port). Multiple servers can be displayed within the user interface.
  • Channel Group: Represents an arbitrary grouping of channels. Channels can be members one or more groups.
  • Channel: Represents a collection of devices which together create a workflow.
