Basic steps for a new conﬁguration

WhenaddingandconguringnewdevicesusinganAIMserver,thesearethe

basic steps that you need to take:

1 Add the new ALIF devices to the network and ensure that they are using a

default factory conﬁguration. If necessary, Reset each one.

2 Ensure that the AIM server is attached to the same subnet (installing AIM)

as the ALIF units and is powered on.

3 On a host computer also connected to the same subnet, use a suitable web

browser to login to the AIM server as the admin user.

4 View the Dashboard page. The ALIF units should announce themselves to

the AIM server and as they do so, they will be automatically added at the

top of the Dashboard page.

If your ALIF units are not added to the Dashboard page, please see If an

ALIF unit is not located.

for medium to large installations.

Note: Where necessary, click the icon for a particular ALIF unit to

ﬂash the unit’s front panel indicators to conﬁrm its location.
