  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.
