Set up physical HIPswitches
Before you begin installing your HIPswitch, ensure that you already have the Conductor installed and configured. After you are finished installing your HIPswitch, you can begin connecting devices.
Important: You should familiarize yourself with your model's front panel layout,
specifications, power requirements, and safety warnings before use. Also, you should review the
procedure for connecting your HIPswitch to your Conductor. This information can
be found in your model's Platform Guide, included with your HIPswitch. If you are unable to
locate your Platform Guide, you can download a PDF from the Documentation Downloads
section of the Documentation Center.
To install and connect HIP Services
To install HIPswitches and
connect them to the Conductor, you must first apply power to the HIPswitch hardware. Once
booted, you can configure a HIPswitch to connect to the Conductor in one of three ways:
- Put the HIPswitch into diagnostic mode and manually configure the Conductor IP address or URL. This is the most common method. See Connect a HIPswitch by using a manually-configured URL.
- Configure a DNS SRV record. This might require assistance from your network administrator. See Connect a HIPswitch by using a DNS SRV record.
- Use a factory-configured Conductor URL. This requires assistance from Tempered Networks. See Connect a HIPswitch by using a factory-configured URL
