When troubleshooting TCP/IP connectivity issues, it is often helpful to confirm that the network path is open over a specified port and that there is no interference from a firewall or antivirus. This also rules out software level problems that may be causing a failure to connect.
While there exists many utilities to accomplish this task (telnet, putty, nmap, etc…), often these utilities aren’t previously isntalled and can’t be accessed when troubleshooting.
This utility will attempt to make a TCP connection to a specified IP Address or hostname over a specified port and return either success or failure.
If you are unable to transfer the file, the contents can be copy and pasted into a file manually and run from command line.

Axis P3247-LVE “Axis Object Analytics” not passing through the Exacq Mobile 3 app Analytic Rules. If seen please see AES-609. Escalate the case to be added to ticket.
Product
exacqVision Server: 23.06.1.0
exacqVision Web Service: 23.06.2.0
Steps to Reproduce
Set up the camera to allow analytics. Note we do not support line cross for axis cameras.
Once camera is set up navigate to the mobile app and connect to the NVR.
Once Connected navigate to the main menu.
Select Push Notifications
Select Analytics
You should see any analytic that cameras are sending.
Expected Results
We should be able to see the Analytics from the Axis cameras.
Actual Results
Analytics do not show up in the mobile app but do on the NVR’s Server when creating event linking and on the camera settings page.
