LiveWire - User Guide - LiveWire

The LiveWire view lets you configure Centralized management, License server, Factory reset, Backup, Restore, SFTP, and SNMP for the appliance.

Centralized Management

Centralized management is the preferred way to manage and configure multiple LiveAction appliances. In order to enable centralized management select the Centralized Management check box and configure the HTTP Proxy settings. For more information on configuring HTTP proxy settings, refer to Proxy.

Once enabled, changes can still be made locally but configuration changes made in the centralized management console supersede local changes. For instructions on how to register and manage devices from the centralized console please visit MyPeek.

Enable Centralized Management: Select this check box to enable LiveWire Grid to manage and configure LiveWire from the cloud. Refer to the LiveWire Grid Quick Guide for instructions on using LiveWire Grid to manage and configure LiveAction appliances.

Note: When Centralized Management is enabled, you can make local changes to LiveWire using the LiveAdmin utility; however, changes made with Grid will overwrite any local changes made with the LiveAdmin utility.
