To claim a device, the Link-Live Cloud Service listens for an Internet request from the device with the same MAC address entered in the claim dialog box on the Link-Live website. Therefore, you must make sure you have clicked "Listen" in the Link-Live claiming dialog window before your device sends the claim request to Link-Live.
COMMON ISSUES BY UNIT
LinkSprinter
- Link-Live must be "listening" for your device when the device sends the claim request. If your LinkSprinter has already reached the cloud icon when you press "Listen" on the Link-Live portal then that time for "listening" has passed.
- Please power off your LinkSprinter and try the claim process again. This time when the LinkSprinter gets to DHCP, press "Listen" on the Link-Live portal.

- Must be on version 2.4.3 or later to use Cloud Services.

GENERAL COMMON ISSUES1. Incorrectly Entered MAC
- Double-check the MAC address you entered in the Unit number field (shown below), and ensure that you have correctly entered the last 6 characters.
2. No Internet Connectivity
- Check for good internet connectivity. Your device must be connected to a functioning Ethernet port, not your laptop Ethernet port.
- Ensure that a corporate firewall, proxy, or captive portal is not blocking the device from reaching Link-Live using your network. You may need to add proxy settings or white-list the URLs, review Web Proxy & White-Listing.
- Run an AutoTest. How far is the unit getting? Is it getting an IP address?
- If you have a browser, can you access websites?
3. Update your unit to the latest software.
- After updating. Reboot the unit and try claiming again.
4. Other Environmental Issues
- Try to claim the device by connecting to a network port from another location (i.e home), to rule out any environment issues.
