Cogent DataHub applications access the Remote Config and WebView applications via the Web Application Manager. This is downloaded from a launch page that has been pre-configured according to the application you are using.

[Note]

Current Cogent DataHub software users: The Remote Config and WebView applications get installed in Windows during the DataHub installation, and are available from the Windows Start menu. For more details, please see Configuring a Local DataHub Instance for using Remote Config locally, and Run Locally for using WebView.

1.1. Getting Started

  1. Open the Web Application Manager launch page.

    Software/ServiceHow to access the launch page

    Cogent DataHub program

    Enter the IP address or network name for a running DataHub instance into a web browser. (More details)

    Cogent DataHub service

    Click the Web Launch Page link in the email you received from Skkynet.

    [Important]

    For security reasons, each launch page is pre-configured for the DataHub instance it connects to. Only it can launch the Remote Config or WebView applications keyed to that DataHub instance. Thus, for each host, you should access the launch page specific for that host. If you have multiple DataHub programs or services running, you must use the corresponding launch page for each one.

    [Note]

    Cogent DataHub software installs with both Remote Config and WebView, which can be run locally without using the Web Application Manager. However, the Web Application Manager is needed when running these applications remotely.

    Each of the above options opens the launch page for the corresponding Skkynet Web Application Manager:

  2. Click the Download the Web Application Manager button.

  3. Install the Web Application Manager.
