Managing Hubs in the cloud

As of firmware version 1.16 you can also manage ThinPrint Hubs via the cloud-based ezeep Blue portal. If you enable that feature you can even handle ThinPrint Hubs which are located behind a masked network. An ezeep Blue account is required to use this feature.

  • Register at ezeep Blue.
  • Switch to the admin portal of ezeep Blue. You have two options to do this:
    1. You open the ezeep portal in a browser: app.ezeep.com
    2. You open the ezeep portal using the ThinPrint Configuration console:

  • Sign in and assign the Hub(s) to your Organization there.
  • Then select Network→ Remote Management→ Cloud Management in the ThinPrint Hub's or Personal Printing Release Station's web console.

  • For remote configuration of a Hub ‒ after running Claim Hub ‒ click on the icon in the last column of the table (the web console of the relevant Hub will open).

The remote configuration of the selected hub opens ‒ recognizable by the URL starting with https://hubgw.ezeep.com/hubproxy/... (where gw stands for gateway). 

Managing ThinPrint Hubs in the cloud: logging in

If a Hub has not been connected to the ezeep Blue admin portal before (see Cloud Connect below), it will automatically be assigned a unique name (because only its Mac address is known so far). If it is connected later, this assigned name (arrows in the screenshot) will be replaced by the original name.
