Basic steps for a new configuration

When adding and configuring new devices using an AIM server, these are the
basic steps that you need to take:
1 Add the new ALIF devices to the network and ensure that they are using a
default factory configuration. If necessary,
2 Ensure that the AIM server is attached to the same subnet
as the ALIF units and is powered on.
3 On a host computer also connected to the same subnet, use a suitable web
browser to login to the AIM server as the admin user.
4 View the Dashboard page. The ALIF units should announce themselves to
the AIM server and as they do so, they will be automatically added at the
top of the Dashboard page.
If your ALIF units are not added to the Dashboard page, please see
ALIF unit is not located.
5 Either:
• Click 'Configure' for a particular ALIF entry to deal with an individual
unit in isolation, or
• Click 'Configure all new devices' to list all units within the Configure
New Devices page.
6 Within the chosen configuration page, perform the following:
• Substitute the default IP address applied to each ALIF unit for a suitable
one (e.g. 192.168.x.y) within the subnet.
• Optionally use the Description and Location fields to add unique
identifying information for each ALIF unit - this is particularly important
for medium to large installations.
Note: Where necessary, click the
flash the unit's front panel indicators to confirm its location.
• Click the Save button. The new ALIF units will be restarted and will be
changed to use their new IP addresses.
7 The new ALIF units will be added to the relevant Transmitter and Receiver
pages within the AIM admin view. You can now refine their configurations
and organise their relationships with each other and with registered users.
Reset each one.
