First, you need to create a remote access profile in ZEN Master. Then, you can use the configuration settings shown in ZEN Master to connect the device to ZEN Master using the device's UI. See the following section, Connecting Device Using Remote Access.

To add a Zixi remote access profile:

  1. In the main navigation, click Remote Access.
  2. Click + Add.
    The Create New Remote Access window is displayed.


  3. In the Info section, in the Name field, type a logical name for the Zixi enabled device.
  4. In the Tags field, select one or more of the predefined Access Tags from the drop-down list.
    Tags are used for access control. By selecting a Tag you are relating this Remote Access to that Tag. Tags are associated with certain roles (through the Users & Roles screen), and roles, in turn, are associated with users and user groups. If you would like to create a new Tag, see Creating a Tag.

  5. In the Events Configuration Profile field, select from the dropdown list the profile that you would like to apply to this Remote Access. By default, the Default profile is applied.

    Events Profiles consist of a series of rules that determine precisely how various types of Events are logged and what results they trigger.

  6. In the Configuration section, in the SSH Key field, make sure Zixi is selected. 

  7. In the SSH Key field, select from the drop-down list one of the existing remote access keys to be used for SSH tunneling between the Zixi Broadcaster and ZEN Master.

    If you would like to configure a new SSH Key, see Configuring SSH Keys.
  8. Select a radio button to designate the manner in which the ZEN Master accesses the remote device. Options are:
    • Auto Detect/HTTPS (default) – ZEN Master automatically detects whether the remote device uses HTTP or HTTPS.
    • HTTP – ZEN Master will always use HTTP.

  9. Click Save.
