[Nils]

This page describes how to link your OT installation with a Lansweeper Classic installation, and how to unlink both installations if required.

This page is for Lansweeper Classic. For Lansweeper Cloud, see Link OT with a Lansweeper cloud site.

Lansweeper OT is a feature that is currently in preview mode and is subject to change. It is not intended for use in a production environment. 

Link your installation with a Lansweeper Classic installation for access to Lansweeper's full capabilities. By linking your installation, you can manage both your IT and OT assets from the Lansweeper web console.

For more benefits on linking your Hub to Lansweeper Classic, see the benefits of Lansweeper Classic.

Ensure that Lansweeper Classic is not connected to a Lansweeper Site before linking it to your OT hub. Only link Lansweeper Classic to OT hub if you do not intend to establish a connection between a Lansweeper Site and your Lansweeper Classic installation.

Prerequisites

• Your Lansweeper Classic installation needs to be at least version 11.1.
• Your OT installation needs to be at least version 3.4.0.
• Your OT installation is not linked to a Lansweeper Site or another Lansweeper Classic installation.
• The machine hosting your OT installation needs to be able to reach the machine hosting the Lansweeper Classic installation.
• You need to know the IP address or URL of the Lansweeper Classic scan server you would like to link to.
• You need to open port 9524 by default. You can select another port for Lansweeper OT in the web console.

Link your OT hub

1. Go your OT hub.
2. Click Linking options and select Link with Classic.
3. Enter the URL of your scan server and select Link with Classic.
   The linking URL is a combination of https://, the domain name or IP address of the server running Lansweeper Classic, and the port you’ve configured in the web console. The default linking URL is https://[domain name or IP address]:9524/.
   
4. Go to your Lansweeper Classic web console. A notification mentioning an OT Hub link request is displayed.
5. Select View requests. Alternatively, go to Configuration > Network Discovery Hubs links overview.
   
   If you don’t see a link request in your web console, select Resend link request in the OT hub.
   If you don’t want to link your OT installation, select Remove link request in the OT hub.
6. Select the check mark ✓ to accept the pending authorization request.
   
   
7. Your OT assets will be synced to Lansweeper Classic. This may take a while.

After synchronization, you can find your scanned OT assets by going to Assets > OT assets.
Alternatively, you could filter the entire list of assets by entering “OT” in the Type field.

Unlink your OT hub

Note that the information you added to OT assets in your Lansweeper Classic web console does not sync to the OT hub. Unlinking your OT hub will result in losing any added information.

1. Go to your OT hub.
2. Select Classic Link Overview.
3. Select Unlink from Classic.
