Quick start

All necessary information for activating the license and configuring the required ports of the device.

When starting up the Base Station for the first time, it is necessary to have a direct internet connection to activate the license. Additionally, certain ports must be enabled (especially for the organization/enterprise firewall) for communication between software and devices.

1. Connect the Base Station to a network:

Plug one side of the network cable into the Control socket.
Plug the other side of the network cable to a switch or router.
The Base Station has been connected to a network.

2. Enable necessary ports for activation:

Please contact your IT administrator to provide Internet access to the License Server and any NTP server by opening the required network ports and to provide DNS settings via DHCP to the device.


Address	Port	Protocol	Type	Service	Usage
my.nalpeiron.com	80	HTTPS (TCP)	Unicast	Sennheiser License Server	Activation of devices
ANY (see list of NTP servers)	123	NTP	Unicast	NTP Time Server	Synchronize system time

You can find the complete overview of all ports at Ports, protocols and services.

3. Ensure that the network has an Internet connection and activate the license:
