  • We recommend changing the Region to match your location, although you must not use UK South if you intend to apply Additional Security in Azure (see below).

  • The Enable Storage Account Key Access setting must be enabled in order to integrate the storage account with PICSWeb.

  • The Enable Public Access From All Networks setting must be left selected during the creation process.

Any other settings that you are prompted to configure while setting up the accounts are down to personal preference and will not affect functionality when working with PICSWeb. If you are unsure, we recommend using the default settings.

Once you have set these accounts up, you can begin to send report to Azure from PICSWeb, as explained below.

Additional Security in Azure

Note: For this to work, your storage region must NOT be UK South.

If you wish, you can restrict the IP addresses used with Azure to restrict limit access to the PICSWeb IP ranges address only. To do this, open Azure, enter Storage Accounts into the search bar and select your storage account. In the navigation menu for your account, go to the Networking page and select Enabled from selected virtual networks and IP addresses from the Public network access menu.

The following addresses are address is required for PICSWeb to communicate with Azure:

  • 31172.28166.78250.36

  • 31.28.78.37

  • 146.101.18.36

  • 146.101.18.37

  • 169

After this, enter the required IP addresses address into the Firewall section and select Save to finish.
