DISPLAX Service can be configured to accept or block connections from other devices on the network. This setting controls whether remote hosts are allowed to connect to DISPLAX Service for discovery, monitoring, or advanced remote features.
For security reasons, network access can be explicitly enabled or disabled using command-line parameters.
To view whether DISPLAX Service is currently allowed to accept network connections, open a terminal or command prompt and run:
displaxservice --allow-network
The command will return the current status:
true – Network connections are allowed
false – Network connections are blocked
To allow DISPLAX Service to accept connections from other hosts on the network, run:
displaxservice --allow-network=true
Using remote features such as DISPLAX Cast
Integrating with external systems or tools
Managing or monitoring touch devices from another machine

To prevent DISPLAX Service from accepting network connections, run:
displaxservice --allow-network=false
