Adding a system

2024-02-19Last updated

Before you can connect the Genetec ClearID™ plugin role to your Genetec ClearID™ account, you must add your Security Center systems to ClearID.

Before you begin

What you should know

  • To create systems in ClearID, you must be a Global administrator.

Procedure

  1. Log on to your ClearID account.
  2. From the Home page, click Administration > Add system .
    Note: The option for data center region is not available if your account is deployed in the Europe only architecture.
  3. In the Add system dialog box, complete all the fields:
    1. Enter a system name.
      Tip: Use a system name that represents the name of the account and the associated data center region. For example, GenetecEuropeSC.
    2. From the Data center region list, select a region that applies to the geographical location of your system or where you want data stored.
    3. If you want ClearID to populate cardholder and credential fields automatically, select Manage cardholders and credentials.
      Note: If the Manage cardholders and credentials checkbox is not selected, cardholders and credentials must be managed manually.
    4. Select the checkbox to accept the terms of service and click Create.
When the System name has been successfully created, the status changes to New. The system ID remains empty until an activation file is downloaded and the ClearID plugin has been registered.
Tip: Move your mouse over a system status in the Status column to display the status explanation in the user interface.

After you finish

Download the activation file.
