Claim a Standard NXT Hub

Claim a Standard NXT Hub

Introduction

The following steps explain how to add and claim a Standard NXT hub. When adding the hub you will associate it with the NXT site. Once the hub has been successfully claimed the hub will be configured for the NXT hardware type.

 

Notes:

  • At least one hub is required per system.
  • A hub configured for NXT will ONLY support the NXT and Keri KB controller types.
  • A hub will support up to 32 doors.
  • If your system consists of more than 32 doors then multiple hubs will be required. Multiple hubs (of the same controller type can be added to the same site).
  • The hub must be added to a DHCP network with an active, unrestricted internet connection.

 

The following steps assume that you have followed the instructions for setting up the hub (powering-up the hub and adding it to a DHCP network).
