Deployed Devices Monitored via NMS-360 Controller
Prior installation
The NMS-360 is used to centrally manage a large number of BSP-360s(V2). Therefore, you need to upgrade the BSP-360(V2) firmware before using NMS-360.
Please download and use the latest BSP-360(V2) firmware from the website so that setting can be completed smoothly.
The NMS-360 incorporated in a workstation or PC can monitor the BSP-360s compliant with the MQTT Protocol, SNMP Protocol, ONVIF Protocol and PLANET Smart Discovery utility.
Follow the steps below to set up the NMS-360 and BSP-360(V2) accordingly.
Step 1. Connect the devices, NMS-360 Controller and your computer, to the same network.
Step 2. BSP-360: Log in to the Switch’s Web User Interface and enable the SNMP and NMS controller functions.
Wired Network Configuration
A computer with wired Ethernet connection is required for the first-time configuration of the NMS-360 Controller.
- Go to “Control Panel-> Network and Sharing Center-> Change Adapter Settings”.
- Double-click “Local Area Connection”.
- Select “Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and click “Properties”.
- Select “Use the following IP address” and then click the “OK” button twice to save the For example, the default IP address of the NMS-360 Controller is 192.168.1.100, then the manager PC should be set to 192.168.1.x (where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 100), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Entering into the Web Management
Default IP Address: 192.168.1.100
Default Management Port: 8888
Default Username: admin
Default Password: admin
Launch the Web browser (Google Chrome with seamless mode is recommended.) and enter the default IP address “https://192.168.1.100:8888”. Then, enter the default username and password shown above to log on to the system.
The secure login with SSL (HTTPS) prefix is required.
After logging on, connect the NMS-360 Controller to the managed network to centrally control PLANET managed devices.
Setup Wizard
- Account Modification: Set a new account and password for security.
- IP Configuration Setting: Set the NMS-360’s IP into the same local network segment.
- Devices Discovery: Search the managed devices and add to (Finish Wizard)
- If added devices are successful, you can see them in Device List / Management page.
- Account Modification: Set a new account and password for security.
Further Information
