Logging In at the Job Site

Configuring On Site Verses from the Cloud

Dashboards, schedules, trends, and alarms can be configured later from the Cloud as desired, but the following are the minimum functions to perform on-site (or performed as local via VPN):

  • Configure most Settings . (See Configuring Settings.) See "Configuring Settings" in the KMC Commander Software Application Guide. (See Accessing Other Documents.)

    Note: Cloud settings do not include Network Interfaces (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Cellular), Date & Time, Whitelist/Blacklist, IP Tables, Proxy, and SSH settings), but those settings can be configured through VPN.

  • Recommended: Discover all known network devices and points (in Network Explorer) and set up profiles. (See Configuring Networks, Discovering Devices and Assigning Device Profiles.) See "Configuring Networks", "Discovering Devices", and "Assigning Device Profiles" in the KMC Commander Software Application Guide. (See Accessing Other Documents).

    Note: The Cloud can discover devices and points. However, discovery of devices and points on site will be helpful if network troubleshooting is required.
