In order for measurement devices to be displayed and used in the GridVis® Cloud, at least one Cloud Connector must be installed and configured in the local network.
The following steps must be followed to commission the Cloud Connector: - Installation of the Cloud Connector in the local area network (LAN) with access via Ethernet to the measurement devices to be monitored and with connection to the Internet.
- Commissioning of the Cloud Connector: Accessing the integrated Web interface using the standard browser and IP address or via the hostname janitza-connect.
- Configuration of the Cloud Connector: The Cloud Connector must first be assigned to a GridVis® Cloud account. This requires a one-time login with the corresponding Janitza ID. In the Web interface, this is queried via an initial wizard. The assignment to the account is done automatically in the background.
- Initial measurement device addition: The Cloud Connector initially performs a scan of the network for known measurement devices. This scan is accompanied by a wizard, but can also be moved to the background. In this case, however, it may take longer until the measurement devices are displayed in the GridVis® Cloud.
- Optional further configuration: After commissioning, additional measurement devices can be added manually or the IP settings can also be adjusted. This is available via the settings menu, which can be accessed via the gear icon in the top right.

| If the Cloud Connector is initially connected to the network with Internet access, an update to the latest firmware is first performed automatically. The update may take a few minutes, the Web interface of the connector is not accessible during this time. |
