To monitor and generate reports on federated Genetec™ Industrial IoT entities from Security Desk, you must install the plugin on the Federation™ host and activate the plugin role.

Before you begin

What you should know

  • Industrial IoT entities can only be configured from their local system.

    To configure federated Industrial IoT entities, you must use the Remote configuration task.

  • The Federation host cannot write on data points of federated IoT devices.
  • Security Desk running on the Federation host cannot display in a tile or on a map, the panel showing the data point values of a federated IoT device.

Procedure

  1. Add the Industrial IoT base license to the Federation host.
  2. Install the Industrial IoT plugin.
  3. Open Config Tool on the Federation host.
  4. Create the plugin role and make sure it is active.
  5. Set up a Security Center Federation.
    Tip: Create a Security Center Federation role for each remote system that has the plugin role.
  6. Deactivate and then re-activate the Security Center Federation roles.
    The federated Industrial IoT entities are displayed in the entity browser of the Federation host.
  7. Expand the Security Center Federation roles on the Federation host and confirm that the federated Industrial IoT entities are listed in the entity browser.
  8. If the entities are missing, restart the main server of the Federation host.
  9. (Optional) Delete the plugin role that you created earlier.
  10. In the Monitoring task, add the federated entities to the event monitoring list.
