viewLinc Aware Service
If you have installed viewLinc 4.3 or higher, use the viewLinc
Aware Service page to automatically set the communication
parameters used to identify your vNet Device.
Note:
To activate viewLinc Aware Service, you also need to
set the option in viewLinc. Refer to the viewLinc
User’s Guide to learn how to enable this option.
When installing vNets on the same subnet as viewLinc, enabling
the viewLinc Aware service ensures that drivers are installed
automatically.
When installing vNets on a different subnet from viewLinc,
simply configure one vNet and ensure the viewLinc Aware
Service is enabled. Each time an additional vNet is added, the
viewLinc IP address is passed to the new vNet, and drivers are
installed automatically.
To enable the viewLinc Aware Service for a vNet Device:
1
From the vNet Configuration and Management interface,
choose
Configuration | viewLinc Aware Service
then select the
Enable viewLinc Aware Service
checkbox (enabled by
default).

Device will use to maintain communications with viewLinc
(enter a number between 1 and 3600; default 600).
Note:
