Adding Base Station

To add a Base Station, you must identify it via its IP address, authenticate it with a password, and activate its license.

When adding the Base Station for the first time, three intermediate steps are required:

Identifying the Base Station via IP (see Network).
Authenticating the Base Station using the configured password (see Claiming single device (LinkDesk)).
Activating the Base Station license (see Activating a license (LinkDesk)).

To add a Base Station (claiming single device):

In your production card, activate the function DEVICE SYNCHRONIZATION on the left-hand side of the top bar.
Click on the symbol in the BASE STATIONS bar on the right.
Enter the correct IP address of the Base Station and click on Search.
The Base Station has been identified and is displayed in the results.

If the Base Station has already been used with a previous configuration, this will be retrieved when it is added. You will be asked whether you want to keep the current configuration on the Base Station or continue with an unconfigured Base Station.
Set a new device password (if you are logging in for the first time) or enter the password you have already assigned for authentication (if you have already logged in).
Please note that the new password must meet the following requirements:
- At least ten characters
- At least one lowercase letter
- At least one uppercase letter
- At least one number
- At least one special character: !#$%&()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_{|}~
- Maximum length: 64 characters

Your Base Station has been added successfully and is displayed on the Base Station card on the top left. If external antennas are connected to the Base Station, they automatically appear on the card (see Activating antennas).

You will then be prompted to activate the license (Activating a license (LinkDesk)) for your region (if it has not yet been activated), or to configure at least one broadband channel to enable pairing and communication between the Base Station and mobile devices.
