Adding a new device to your hosted Omada account can be accomplished in just a few simple steps. To start you have to tell the device where the controller is located by doing the following:
- Power on the device you wish to add
- Find the devices IP address by:
- If you currently have Omada switches or firewalls added to your account, log in and look at the Clients tab for the new device (HINT: Sort by the time connected to look at the newest devices)
- Look at your DHCP server to see what leases have been handed out recently
- Open up a web browser and go to the devices web page. For example, if you found an IP address in the previous step as 192.168.1.250, then go to https://192.168.1.250
- Log in with the default username and password of admin / admin
- You will be prompted to change the username and password for your device. Set them to what you would like...you will need this information in one of the following steps
- Go to the System tab and choose Controller Settings
- For the Controller Inform URL use: omada.nomadsystemsgroup.com
- Save the settings
Next you need to add the device to your hosted Omada account by doing the following:
- Log into your hosted Omada account. You will find a link to it in your online portal. Go to the services section, selected your hosted Omada service and you will find the link to go to it.
- Under devices, look for your new device waiting to be adopted and press the adopt button
- The first time, you adoption will fail and this is to be expected. Select the adopt button again and this time it will prompt you for the device username and password you created in the above section. Enter those in and your device will be added to your account
At this point your device is added and you can manage it along with your other network equipment.
