Register a Manager

Once you have created an account (see the previous section) you are ready to register and obtain your MobileConnect Manager.

Note

If your Manager is already registered by another member of your organization, you do not need to register a new one. Instead request to be invited as a member to the existing Manager. For more information see Managing Members.

Log into your account at https://accounts.sennheiser-connect.com/.

Click “Manage Manager” in the top right of the page.

Manage Manager

Click “Register New Manager” and you will see the following page.

Register New Manager

Enter the name of your Manager. The name can be the name of your organization, e.g. “Sennheiser Streaming Technologies”.

Add a redirect URL that you plan to use as URL/domain name to access the MobileConnect Manager in your network.

Note

To access your MobileConnect Manager after installation, open a browser and open the redirect URL. It can be a private domain or URL, but not an IP address or “localhost”.

Click “Save” and wait for your Manager to be registered. A new Manager section is shown on the page.

Get your MobileConnect Manager

Select “Download Manager” to obtain the installation and configuration files for the MobileConnect Manager. Your account has owner role for the Manager that you created. For more see Managing members.

Managing Members

If you have an owner account for the MobileConnect Manager, you can manage its members.

  • You can invite or remove members from your Manager.

  • Members have access to view and/or edit Manager configuration.

Note

MobileConnect users streaming audio on their mobile devices do not require access to the MobileConnect Manager or any registration/invitation process.

  • A Manager can have multiple owners.

  • A Manager needs to have at least one owner, i.e. the last owner cannot be removed.

  • A user with a MobileConnect account can be a member of several MobileConnect Managers.
