JMap NG is accessed via a Web browser (Edge, Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) using a URL provided by your JMap administrator.
The URL takes the following format: http or https://SERVERADDRESS:PORT/services/ng where SERVERADDRESS:PORT is the IP address or domain where JMap Server is installed.
Here are two examples:
https://jmap7dev.jmaponline.net/services/ng This URL uses the JMap Server domain.
http://192.168.0.106:8080/services/ng This URL uses the IP address and port where JMap Server is installed.
You can take the address of your JMap Server and add the /services/ng section.
