Add a KB Controller via Manual Add

Add a KB Controller via Manual Add

The following steps explain how to manually add a KB controller using the Borealis web client. Again, before manually adding KB controllers, you must already have the KB hub online and it must have completed its initial update:

  1. From the main menu, click on Hardware >> Controllers.
  2. On the right side of the screen click on the ADD CONTROLLER button.
  3. Enter a name for the new KB controller.
  4. Select the KB hub from the Hub drop-down list.
  5. Select the correct controller type from the Controller Type list.
  6. Enter the IP address that you wish to assign the controller.

    Note: You should first ensure that the IP address is available and not already assigned to a different device on the network.

  7. Enter the MAC address for the new controller. It is printed in the lower-right corner of the controller PCB (it begins: 00-14-34).



  8. Click the SAVE button to add the controller.
  9. The new controller will appear on the Controllers screen.
  10. Initially, the controller status will show as unknown.
  11. Go to Hubs from the main menu.
  12. Click on the hub's SCAN button. This will, in effect, assign the IP address to the KB controller.
  13. Once the KB controller is detected, return to the Controller's screen.
    The KB controller should then be showing as online.
