More detailed information about options in quickstream-node-setup below:

Enable Cloud management

Quickstream Cloud is the easiest way to manage your Quickstream Nodes. It allows to remotely configure multiple Nodes from any location. It runs in your web browser and does not require any additional applications. It is a recommended way to manage your Nodes. Find out more about Quickstream Cloud.

To connect Quickstream Node to Quickstream Cloud you need to have an active account in Quickstream Cloud. If you do not have one please go to Quickstream Cloud and create it.

Press 1 to Enable Cloud management. Setup will ask you for your username and password to Quickstream Cloud.

User which connects Node to Cloud is an Owner of this Node and is the only user that can Disable Cloud management and remove Node from cloud management. Please use root account of your organization to prevent unprivileged users to access your Node.

Disable Cloud management

To disconnect Node from Quickstream Cloud press 2. If you do not have access to Node and you want to disconnect it from Cloud just login to your cloud account at Quickstream Cloud you can still do it using Quickstream Client application.

Shared Node

Once you connect Node to Cloud you can give management access to your Node to other Quicksteam Cloud users. Remember to remove access to Node for other users before disconnecting Node from Cloud.

Enable or change local management password

Management of Quickstream Node is also possible without Quickstream Cloud. You can install Quickstream Client application and connect to Quickstream Node directly.

By default Quickstream Node local access is disabled. Press 3 to enable access and set a local password to your Node.

If you lost your current local password you will need to contact with support.

Change Node name

Every Quickstream Node has a name. By default it is the same as hostname. If you select option 4 you will be asked for a new name for your Node. Node name may be also changed in Quickstream Cloud and Quickstream Client application.

This option print Hardware ID for your Node. Hardware ID is a unique identifier of your Node and may be used for non-cloud licenses.

Update licenses

By default Quickstream Node is checking if there are any licenses assigned to it every hour. If you buy a license and you want to download it please use this option.

Change log level

This option allows you to change the log level. Please refer to Logging section of this documentation.

Next steps

If you performed an initial configuration go to Quickstream Cloud or Quickstream Client to fully manage your Node.
