As a feature available since 2013-04-26, the admninistrative web interface can communicate with any other OS4Xapi instances than the local one (single requirement: the OS4Xapi you are communicating with must be of at least the same version). You can access the selection on different ways:
 
−
*Use the menu to select the entry "Configuration" -> "Switch OS4X srv.":

http://localhost/os4x/?server

The administrative interface of OS4X is available in different versions. The most common one is the web interface, which is accessed via a webbrowser of your choice.

All interfaces share the same datasource: the OS4Xapi. The complete communication between the frontend and backend is done via http or https. The OS4Xapi is distributed in the directory of the OS4X administrative web interface, but can be installed seperately outside of this directory wherever your interface expects it.

The most easy way of accessing the administrative interface is by using the web interface. Its standard installation directory gives the administrator access via an URL like 

http://os4x-server/os4x/

from where on the interface dynamically forwards the user to the correct directory.
