Adding a controller

Use the WebSphere® Premises Server Administrative Console to add new Data Capture and Delivery controllers to your network topology definition.

About this task
Controllers in the WebSphere Premises Server Administrative Console are logical representations of the physical edge devices in your WebSphere Premises Server network. You must define a controller for each edge device in the network. The information you define for each controller includes a logical identifier, MAC address, alert threshold, and the locations with which the edge devices communicate. For a Data Capture and Delivery controller, you also add the controller to a configuration group.
