Singlewire/InformaCast uses SLP as the primary method of discovery when adding devices to your InformaCast server. It will be important to make sure you have SLP enabled on the InformaCast Server and Multicast enabled on your switches. If you are unsure about SLP configuration Singlewire has excellent documentation on enabling those features.
4.0 Configuration Procedure: Setting up the Strobe With SLP enabled once the Strobe is connected to the network it should detect the Singlewire/InformaCast server(s) and fetch its configuration file. This is easy to verify via the Home page of the Strobe’s web interface.

Network Configuration, SIP registration status and firmware version are shown on the Home tab. Note: The web interface of an InformaCast enabled strobe may look different between firmware versions. The process of using the product has not changed, just the layout of the web interface.
