4 Testing the Web API Connectivity

This section covers how to TEST the Web API Service connectivity.

NOTE: After you've changed the port number in the XML Config. file, you must test your local PC connectivity.


Test the Web API Service:	Screenshots

Open a Browser on the same PC as the machine that the Web API Service is running. You should be performing this test on the main System Galaxy Communication Server. Enter the Test IP Address using the syntax of one of the examples shown below: http://Server-IP-Address:Port/swagger/ – OR – https://Server-IP-Address:Port/swagger/ WHERE Server-IP-Address:Port (IN THE ADDRESS ABOVE) REPRESENTS THE IP ADDRESS AND PORT NUMBER OF YOUR COMM. SERVER; WHICH WAS ASSIGNED IN STEP-2 OF THE PREVIOUS SECTION (See Changing the Port Number).	https://192.168.24.26:443/swagger/
IMPORTANT: In a live production environment, you should use the machine name instead of the IP Address because the machine could move locations or be subject to network changes. Using a machine name means any changes to the network addresses will be transparent to the Mobile App / Web API Service.

You should see the SWAGGER WebAPI Version page if your connection parameters are correctly configured. IMPORTANT: you must also test that you can reach this page from a browser on your smartphone.
