Connectivity - IP Addresses and Bindings


FieldDescription
IP BindingsThis is the IP address that FireDaemon Fusion will listen on for connections. FireDaemon Fusion supports IP address in both IPv4 and IPv6 format.

The Unassigned list contains the available IP addresses in IPv4 and IPv6 format. In the list, click the required IP address. The IP address is then added to the Assigned list.
TCP/IP PortThe TCP/IP port that FireDaemon Fusion will listen on for connections.

The default port is 20604.

Note: Ensure that the selected port is open to traffic on your network.
SSL

FireDaemon Fusion supports SSL / TLS so that it can be accessed via a secure HTTPS connection. 


  • Use SSL: Click the button to enable SSL for all incoming and outgoing connections to and from FireDaemon Fusion.

  • SSL Certificate: The SSL certificate in PEM format. Either drag and drop a .cert file or copy-paste the .cert file contents into this field.

  • SSL Private Key: The SSL private key in PEM format. Either drag and drop a .key file or copy-paste the .key file contents into this field.

  • SSL Password: The passphrase to the SSL key. You can leave this field blank if the SSL certificate is not password protected.

For more information about SSL, see Setting Up SSL.
Note: FireDaemon Fusion must be restarted in order for any changes to take effect.


CORS - Cross-Origin Request Sharing



CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) is an opt-in protocol for browsers and web servers that permits resources to be requested from domains outside the one from which the first resource was served. For example, a script on jsfiddle.net may need to make a request to FireDaemon Fusion on a local server.


CORS exists to prevent CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery), where a script can steal or modify data from another domain. For example, a script on jsfiddle.net performing a bank transaction.


By default, CORS is disabled. Select the checkbox to enable or disable it. If enabled, scripts from external domains (i.e. outside your server's domain) are able to access the FireDaemon Fusion API. CORS can only be enabled if SSL is enabled. For more information about using CORS with FireDaemon Fusion, see Cross-Origin Request Sharing.

By default, the folder is named logs, and it is located in the FireDaemon Fusion installation folder.

  • Midnight: The log file is rotated every day at midnight. Each log file will contain 24 hours worth of log messages. A date stamp suffix is appended to the log file name.

  • Hourly: The log file is rotated at the beginning of every hour, and thus will contain one hours worth of log messages. A date/time stamp suffix is appended to the log file name.

  • By File Size: The log file is rotated whenever it grows to the size specified in the Size field.
