Logger Clients

Logger clients are Eventide logging recorders that will connect to your NMA. They do this by uploading a .vpn file to the system and establishing a connection.

Creating the Logger Client

SSH into your NMA as the monitor user. If you are using a different account that you set up yourself, the execute cd /home/monitor to access the build scripts.

Once you are at /home/monitor execute the command ./build-key-logger . Replace with the identifier of the control client. Example:

monitor@nma:~$ ./build-key-logger 740000001.NJ.SiteName

Running this command will generate the VPN certificates and configuration files needed to connect to loggers.

The control clients files are located in /home/monitor/loggerkeys/.vpn Export this file from the NMA and install it on your logger.

Connecting a NexLog

Once the .vpn file has been downloaded from an NMA, it can be installed to a NexLog logging recorder. Log in to the NexLog's webconfig and navigate to Networking->VPN.

Upload the .vpn file by clicking Choose File at the bottom of the page.

Click save to upload the file.

Enter your connection string in the field provided. The string should be --remote <NMAHostname> 1194 See the image above for an example.

Click the enable check box at the top and press save to establish the connection.
