You can now proceed with Register a Manager.
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.
Click “Register New Manager” and you will see the following page.
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.
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.
The user’s profile page at https://accounts.sennheiser-connect.com/ lists all Managers they are a member of.
The user can switch between MobileConnect Managers using the menu on the top right.
Warning
Inviting additional members is supported only for Manager version 1.2.0 and higher. Check your MobileConnect Manager version (bottom right corner) and upgrade following the steps in section MobileConnect Manager Upgrade and Redeploy.
