Checking the connection to a customer-hosted FNE License Server

After installing the FNE license server, check that the FNE license server is contactable from the SmarTest workstation before you start the installation of the FNE client subsystem on the SmarTest workstation.

href="http://<fne-server-hostname>:7070/api/1.0/health <fne-server-hostname>

Complete the following procedure to check the connection to the FNE license server:

  1. Open a browser.
  2. Enter the URL appropriate for your FNE server arrangement:

    • href="http://<fne-server-hostname>:7070/api/1.0/health
      <fne-server-hostname>      represents the hostname of the FNE license server to which you are testing the connection.

    • href="http://<failover-fne-server-hostname>:7070/api/1.0/health
      <failover-fne-server-hostname>             represents the hostname of the failover FNE license server to which you are testing the connection.

    If the FNE license server is contactable (port 7070 is open), the following type of output is displayed:

  3. If port 7070 is not open, you a page with a not available message is displayed. In this case, get in contact with your administrators (customer IT) and request that port 7070 is opened for the SmarTest client workstation.
