Using DMS to manage and configure LiveAction appliances
If you have one or more LiveAction appliances, you can use the Device Management Server (DMS) to manage and configure these appliances from the cloud. In order to use the DMS server for the LiveAction appliance, you must first enable the Enable DMS option in the LiveAdmin utility as described in Omni.
NOTE: When DMS is enabled, you can make local changes to the LiveAction appliance using the LiveAdmin utility; however, changes made with the DMS will overwrite any local changes made with the utility.
NOTE: All DMS communications require that the LiveAction appliance has Internet access and is able to access various websites including https://mypeek.liveaction.com and https://cloudkeys.liveaction.com using TCP over port 443. If necessary, configure a DNS server to resolve the URLs above.
Additionally, all DMS communications are initiated by the LiveAction appliance, so it is not necessary to open a port in the firewall for communications.

To use DMS to manage and configure LiveAction appliances:
1. Log into the LiveAction Customer Portal at https://cloudkeys.liveaction.com/.
NOTE: A link to the LiveAction Customer Portal and a temporary password is emailed to the customer whenever a LiveAction appliance is purchased. Use the customer email and temporary password to log into the customer portal. You will be required to change the temporary password upon first login.
2. Click the tab at the top of the portal to configure the appliances. The LiveAction appliances associated with the user account are displayed.
