New AIRA Server Registration allows
AIRA Explorer to connect to an AIRA server over a network. You need at
least one server registered.
Address
Enter the address of the AIRA server you want to connect to. You can enter the IP address of the AIRA server, or the AIRA Dynamic name, which was defined during installation. Aimetis provides support for AIRA servers that are on dynamic IP addresses. Dynamic names must be enclosed in square brackets (see examples below). If you do not enclose the name in square brackets standard DNS resolution will be attempted. If the AIRA server is running on a nonstandard TCP port, you can suffix the address with a colon followed by the TCP port number. If you do not suffix with a port, it will try the default port, 50,000. Here are some examples of valid addresses:
aira1.toyotacentral.com
(standard DNS)
65.43.45.25 (IP address)
[constructix] (dynamic name)
jakescomp.fire.com:9080 (standard DNS with TCP port)
[constructix2]:80 (dynamic name with TCP port)
Note: AIRA servers listen on port 50,000 to remain invisible to the
plethora of port scans. Most port scanners do not scan ports this high.
Once the AIRA client connects on port 50,000 (assuming the default port
was not changed), it will receive the other ports to connect to (for more
information on ports and firewalls, visit Firewalling
your Server).
Name
This is the name that will appear in AIRA Explorer for this address.
This information is not actually used to connect. Type any descriptive
name here.
User
A username with access to connect to the server.
Password
The password that is set up for the User.
