The bOS Service Monitor application displays the current state of the bOS Server. For normal
operation the message bOS Service Running is displayed.
The application also displays the current server addresses for two types of server services:

• HTTP service on port 80 for bOS Client application (unsecure connection http).

• HTTPS service on port 443 for bOS Client (secure connection https).

Addresses are used for accessing the server over the network. Multiple addresses for each
network adapter installed on the system are displayed. Make sure that both services have
addresses listed. If an error message is displayed instead of the address, make sure no other
program is using the service's port.
To change the default service ports the BOSService.exe.config file can be edited in the text
editor. When changing the default ports, the firewall exceptions in Windows OS need to be
changed manually.
After the successful installation, please check if the web server is running by entering the HTTP
(e.g. http://192.168.1.2) and HTTPS (e.g. https://192.168.1.2) server address into your web
browser. A bOS Server login page should be displayed. When connecting from other computers
make sure you use the address of the correct network adapter (the adapter connected to the
same network as your client machine).
The bOS Service Monitor can also be used to manually start or stop the bOS Server for
maintenance purposes.
