Register the Capture Appliances

Overview

Follow this procedure for the EchoSystem Capture Appliance, the EchoSystem SafeCapture HD and the Echo360 PRO.

Before registering a capture appliance, you must initialize it. See:

• Initialize the EchoSystem Capture Appliance
• Initialize the SafeCapture HD
• Initialize the Echo360 PRO

Procedure

Capture appliances begin communication with the EchoSystem Server (ESS) immediately after initialization.

1. In the ESS application, navigate to Configuration > Devices.
2. Select the Unregistered tab. The Unregistered Devices screen opens, showing all of the unregistered devices.
   

3. Highlight the capture appliance device. Check the MAC address shown on the screen against the MAC address you noted.

   If you do not see the device listed, there is probably a networking issue, often related to DHCP or DNS. If you know the IP address of the device, you can log in to the advanced Ad Hoc interface and run ping diagnostics to troubleshoot.

4. Click register. The Devices screen appears.
5. Notice that the MAC address is shown in the Summary table and the new device is listed on the Devices screen.
6. Wait for the capture and log status to change to Idle. This shows that the capture appliance has been successfully registered. It can be configured and assigned to a room.
