Install CAST Extend local server or Offline for CAST Imaging - optional

CAST Extend local server/Offline is only required if (due to security concerns for example) your organization/AIP Console cannot interact over the public internet with CAST's Extend system for Extension management. CAST currently offers two separate but similar "offline" packages that can be installed:

CAST Extend local server
  • Installed on-premises.
  • Can be configured in offline or online mode:
    • When in offline mode, functionality is the same as CAST Extend Offline and extensions must be added manually to CAST Extend Proxy.
    • When in online mode, CAST Extend Proxy is configured to connect with CAST's Extend system for Extension management over the public internet.
  • AIP Console connects directly to fetch required extensions.
  • Configured in AIP Console in the start-up wizard.

See Install CAST Extend local server.

CAST Extend Offline
  • Installed on-premises.
  • Does not interact with CAST's Extend system for Extension management over the public internet.
  • Extensions must be added manually to CAST Extend Offline.
  • AIP Console connects directly to fetch required extensions.
  • Configured in AIP Console in the start-up wizard.

See Install CAST Extend Offline.
