DataXchange Onboarding – DX Service Installation

Overview

The DataXchange Service (DX Service) is the communication point between machines and the web server.

This service must be installed on a Windows PC that is able to communicate to both the machines over a local network and the Internet, if using the Cloud.

To download the service, go to https://scytec.com/dxserviceinstall. Run the installer when the download completes. The license agreement will be shown. To continue, you must accept the license agreement by going to the Options screen and checking the box I agree to the license terms and conditions. Additional options are as follows:

• Install Location: The file folder where the DataXchange Service and DataXchange Update Service will be installed.
• Start Services: This determines whether the services will be started during installation. If an issue is preventing the services from starting, uncheck this box to complete the installation.
• SSL: Controls whether HTTP or HTTPS is used when the DX Service connects to the server. If unsure, leave this checked.
• URL: The server URL the DX Service will connect to. If using the Cloud then the default of dx.scytec.com should be used.  If using On Premise then enter your DataXchange server URL here.
• Account Number: The account number as provided by Scytec or your Reseller.
• Account Password: The account password as provided by Scytec or your Reseller.
• HTTP Port: The port on which the DX Service will listen for connections. This port should be open on any firewalls controlling access to the PC where the services are being installed.
• DCI Port: The port on which the DX Service will listen for DCI Communication.
