Requirements

  • PointX CM Account: A valid account is required. Create one here.

  • Internet Connection: Ensure the device is connected to a stable internet connection to communicate with the PointX CM server.

  • Cloud Access (Optional): Enable Cloud Access via System > Cloud Access for individual device access while remote.

  • PointX CM Server Credentials:
    • API Link: The server API URL for PointX CM (e.g., https://youraccount.pointxcm.com/api.php).
    • API Key: A secure key provided by the PointX CM account for authentication.

  2. Provide Server API Details

    • API Link: Enter the URL of your PointX CM server API (e.g., https://username.pointxcm.com/pointx/api.php).
    • API Key: Input the secret API key provided by the PointX CM Settings page.

  3. Set Sync Intervals

    • Use the Sync Interval Slider to configure the frequency of synchronization (e.g., every 5–120 minutes).

  4. Save Configuration

    • Click the Save button to store your settings.

  5. Sync Immediately

    • Click the Sync Now button to trigger an immediate synchronization with the server.

From now on, your WAVER device will be centrally managed through PointX CM, with any changes made to the PointX CM Sync Profile automatically reflected on all assigned devices.


Security Notice

  • Administrator Access: Activating PointX CM gives the remote server administrator full access to user data, settings, configurations, and passwords on the WAVER device.

  • Overwriting Changes: Local configurations such as Captive Portal content will be overwritten during synchronization if they differ from the remote configuration.

  • Protect API Key: Keep the API key confidential and secure to prevent unauthorized access.



Troubleshooting

  • Sync Fails:

    • Verify Internet connectivity.
    • Ensure the API link and key are correct.
    • Ensure your PointX CM account has sufficient storage or device capacity.

  • Overwrites:

    • Review the remote server's configuration to ensure compatibility with local settings.

The PointX CM feature streamlines device management, making it ideal for large-scale deployments. For secure and efficient use, adhere to best practices and monitor system changes.
