Activate the Cloud Connector

For your Cloud Connector to be manageable by Oracle ECP, it must be onboarded on the cloud UI and then activated from the local UI. This procedure explains how to activate the Cloud Connector.

The Tenant User Authentication screen displays the Cloud Connector's serial number at the top of the screen. This value is required for onboarding the Cloud Connector on the ECP service. Before activation, set the proxy if required, the WAN interfaces' priority, and set up the local LAN.

Before you begin: Obtain the URL, username, and password of the tenant where you are onboarding this Cloud Connector. Keep in mind that some functions cannot be performed once the Cloud Connector has been onboarded into the Oracle ECP service. Plan to perform these items first:

• Setting the Cloud Connector proxy

  Note:

  Proxy settings are required for certain networks. Failure to configure your proxy may prevent activation.
• Test the WAN Interfaces' Connectivity
• Sending AT commands to the cellular modem

1. Click the Activation tab on the Local UI.
2. Click each field in the Tenant User Authentication section, then type or paste the required information:
   • Tenant FQDN - the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for the customer tenant where this Cloud Connector will be onboarded.
   • Tenant Username - the username for onboarding this Cloud Connector.
   • Tenant Password - the password for onboarding this Cloud Connector.
   The Activate button is enabled after the UI validates the values in updated fields.
3. Click Activate to request Cloud Connector activation for the specified FQDN.
   After clicking Activate, the system moves to the Information tab for you to monitor the status of this process.

At this point, with this Cloud Connector previously onboarded in the Oracle ECP Service, after a few minutes, you will observe its entry in the Inventory screen move to a connected and activated state, ready for use.

Note:

After activation, you cannot make any configurations from the Local UI. You must offboard this Cloud Connector before making any changes from the local UI.
