Prerequisites
The workstation running the wizard must have Microsoft .Net Framework 4.5 installed.
The Appspace Cloud account should have sufficient Appspace IDs/client access licenses (CALs) to register the desired number of devices.
Allow access to the following network ports:

Registering Edge 340 with Online Registration Tool
Warning
The Online Registration Tool does not work on Chrome and Firefox web browsers, as the NPAPI plugins that are required by the tool to communicate with the devices on the local network are disabled by default on these browsers. Please use Internet Explorer 11 instead.

Click the Appspace menu and select Admin > Networks. Select the Players tab and click the Register Player button.
Select Manual Registration, and select Cisco Edge from the device drop-down menu.

Note
An IP range may be used in the Device IP field to find multiple devices.
All the Edge 340 devices found within the defined IP range are displayed. Select the check box of the devices you wish to register, and click Register Device. This process will take a few minutes depending on the number of devices selected.
