Devices : The All Devices Module : Add a Device in VBrick Rev - Initial Configuration and Set Up

Before you are able to add a device to your system, you must make sure it is configured correctly with an API key first.


	Note: The steps in this topic must be completed first before you begin adding devices from the Devices module.

To set up device configuration in Rev:

1. Create an API key for the system devices (DME and/or Encoder) you plan to add and use with Rev. You may add a key for each device or one that is used for all devices that communicate with Rev. You will also need to create an API key for your LDAP connector which must be a separate key from your system device key.

○See: Add an API Key.

○See: Configure and Import LDAP Groups in VBrick Rev

2. For each device:

○Add the API key created to each device you plan to link to Rev.

○Add the host URL to your Rev installation to each device. May be obtained from the Account Host Name field on the Contact module or from your browser bar URL on the Log in screen minus the “#/login” text. See: View Contact Information for an Account.

○Example: To configure and link an encoder, enter this information in the API Key and Host fields under the System Configuration > General section of the encoder.

○Example: To configure and link a DME, enter this information in the System Configuration > Rev Interface section of the DME.

○See the corresponding device’s Admin technical manual for more information if needed.

3. You are now ready to add your devices in Rev through the All Devices module.
