Connecting a Hub

ThinPrint Hubs and Personal Printing Release Stations – hereinafter referred to as Hubs – with firmware version 1.8 or later automatically connect to the NoTouch Center or higher if the NoTouch Center uses the default host name tcmgr. In the configuration console of the Hub you will find the menu Manage via Stratodesk NoTouch Center in the network settings under the tab Remote Management. The Hubs automatically log in to the NoTouch Center after a restart or by clicking the Annouce now button. This login is automatically refreshed every 60 minutes, which can be set with Announce interval (in min).

The Hub in question then appears as Unassigned in the Devices Managed menu on the right-hand side of the NoTouch Center.

Assigning a Hub to a group

In order to configure Hubs, they must first be moved from Unassigned to a group. By default, you can use the My Devices group. However, if you need more than one group, e. g. because two Hubs are to be operated in the same branch office by load balancing, create one group for each branch office and then assign the Hubs to the relevant groups. To name the groups, it is advisable to use the names of the branch offices where the Hubs are located – in our example Amsterdam.

  • To do this, click Create Group.

  • Select one of the unassigned Hubs and choose Move to from the context menu to move it to a group.

Note: If you want to assign an already configured hub to a new group without any configuration you have to keep in mind that the hub will lose his configuration. If you want to avoid this, configure all needed properties in the group settings before you assign the Hub to this group.
