Add Names and Keys to appliances

After linking is enabled on the appliances, configuring linking on each appliance requires copying the linking key from the remote appliance KACE Linking page to a central location, then pasting the key to the appliance to which you are linking.

1.
On the left navigation pane, click Settings > Control Panel to display the Control Panel, then click KACE Linking, and select the Enable KACE Linking check box.
The Manage Linked Appliances option is now available from the Control Panel.
2.
Select Choose Action > New to display the Add Linked Appliance page.
3.
In Host Name, enter IP address of the appliance that you want to link.
If you are linking an RSA to an appliance, the host name must match the host name set on the RSA Network Settings page.
4.
In Linking Key, paste the key that you copied to a central location to the appliance to which you are linking.
5.
Click Save.
6.
After both links are created, go to the Edit Linked Appliance Detail page, and click Test Connection to verify the connection between the two linked appliances.
The Linked Appliances page appears.

The next time that you log into the appliance, the linked appliances appear on the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information. To switch to a different appliance, select its name in the drop-down list.
