Network ID

The Preferences Network ID Screen is used to enable the Network ID feature for devices on your network. If the DHCP Server is configured with your Network ID, devices will get the Network ID from the DHCP Server and specify it whenever they call home. This will secure the on-boarding process by matching the Network ID from the devices with the Network ID in OmniVista. This helps prevent your devices from being on-boarded/managed by somebody else’s OmniVista. Complete the fields and click on the Apply button.

• Network ID to Input on the DHCP Server - You must configure your DHCP Server Option 43, Sub-Option 133 with your Network ID. The Network ID value to be used for configuring your DHCP server is displayed beneath the drop-down. By default, the value is displayed in String Format. Select Hex Format from the drop-down menu to display the Network ID in Hex Format, if your DHCP Server needs the value to be entered in Hex Format. Click on the Clipboard icon to copy the Network ID to the clipboard and use this value to configure your DHCP Server.
• Advanced Settings Strict Mode - Enables/Disables Strict Mode. When Strict Mode is enabled, devices that do not send a Network ID when they "call home" will not be allowed to be associated with this OmniVista System.
