This simple demo application showcases various ways to use the Web Presentation Engine within an application.
The application is ready to use - just run it.
The web client will be available on port 80 (HTTP).
-
Checkbox “Identical Sessions” checked:
The Native Presentation Session and the Web Presentation Session are identical. -
Checkbox “Identical Sessions” unchecked: The Native Presentation Session and the Web Presentation Session differ - allowing you to provide dedicated content for web clients.
When the “Identical Sessions” checkbox is unchecked, additional options become available:
-
Checkbox “Mobile Sessions” checked:
Open the application in a web browser and resize the browser window - the content will automatically switch to the mobile layout. -
Checkbox “Unique Web Sessions” checked: Each defined web client receives unique content. The client is identified by its IP address.
Click the magnifier icon (🔍) once - a configuration window will open.
In this window, click the magnifier icon again to automatically detect and add the IP addresses of all currently open client sessions.
(Tip: to configure the demo easily, first open client sessions in browsers, then click the magnifier icons to detect them automatically.
Up to 3 clients are supported in this demo.) -
Option “Using dedicated link”: Open a browser and navigate to:
http://<OptixRuntimeHost>/windows/Dashboard
This link provides dedicated web content that is automatically available under this address.
The interface is intentionally simple and includes a large label showing the session name and its description.
Importantly, no scripts are used in the configuration of this demo application - the only script included is responsible for automatically detecting client IP addresses, which is not the focus of this presentation.
Developed and tested on: Optix 1.6.2.36
