Pairing an Appliance

An appliance (such as, Makito X/X4 encoder) can be used as an edge device with Haivision Hub, provided its version is up-to-date, has remote management (EMS) enabled, and is on a network that is discoverable by HUB.

The following are the supported Haivision appliances and versions that can be remotely managed:

  • Makito X Encoder (2.4) – Minimum required firmware version.

  • Makito X Decoder (2.4)

    NOTE: "EMS" is a reference to Haivision's Element Management System, which is the technology behind the pairing feature.

  3. Hover over the
    option and click Configure
    .
  4. When the Haivision EMS dialog opens, paste the passcode into the Passcode field and click Pair.
  5. ON HUB: Refresh the Appliances page. The newly paired appliance will appear in the list.

    NOTE: The appliance name is the hostname that was configured on the device itself. If you need to rename an appliance after it has been paired, see Troubleshooting for a workaround.

Duplicate Paired Appliance Names?

Currently, devices cannot be renamed from the HUB, nor are changes in the device's name after pairing reflected. Consequently, it is possible for multiple devices to be paired with the same name.

See Troubleshooting for a workaround.
