Configure a sensor
After you have added a sensor, you must configure it before you can complete the connection of the sensor.
Once you have added the sensor in Vantage, you must configure it.
- Log in to the sensor that you want to connect to Vantage.
- In the user interface (UI) of the sensor, go to the configuration page. If you want to connect a Central Management Console (CMC), or Guardian, go to .
- In Upstream Connection, select On to activate the connection.
- In the Host field, paste the URL that you copied in Vantage.
- In the Sync token field, paste the sync token that you copied in Vantage.
- Optionally, enter a description of the Vantage connection and site.
- If the sensor, is already connected in another system, replace the Host and Sync token values with those you copied from Vantage.
- Select Check connection.
-
When a successful connection is confirmed, select Save
in the top right corner of the page.
Note: Consider the flow of data when you connect a CMC to Vantage. Depending on your implementation, there might be no advantage in doing this. It might be preferable to connect your Guardians directly to Vantage.
- Complete the connection of the sensor.
