PRIMIS Server
To enable a secured TLS connection to the Velocity SMB PRIMIS server, check the TLS enabled checkbox on the configuration page:
Setting Up Master Bridge (release 1.1 and above)
Master Bridge(s)Velocity SMB PRIMIS Administrators can designate one or more EG2s IDENTIV EG-2s in the fleet as “Master Bridge(s)”. A Master bridge facilitates global I/O access to the rest of the “Member” bridges.*note: it is highly recommended that Master Bridge(s) use static IP’s.
Member Bridge(s)“Member” bridges need to know the IP address(s) of “Master” bridges so as to forward Global I/O requests to the whole EG2 IDENTIV EG-2 network. To configure Master Bridge Host IP, uncheck Master Bridge checkbox and enter IP:
NTP Configuration
EG2 IDENTIV EG-2 is able to use NTP to sync its system clock. To configure NTP, enter the NTP server’s address and check “enabled.” By default, the NTP server address is pool.ntp.org.*note: for NTP to work, please make sure a legitimate Name Server is configured on the EG2IDENTIV EG-2.
Installing TLS Certificate
After the TCP connection is established between the Velocity SMB PRIMIS server and the EG2IDENTIV EG-2, we need to install the Velocity SMB PRIMIS CA certificate and the client certificate on the EG2 IDENTIV EG-2 by clicking the “Install Certificate” button. The client certificate, together with the Velocity SMB PRIMIS CA certificate, is used for the MQTT authentication.
