Once licensed, you are requested to input details on LoadMasters to be added. As no Metered Licensing LoadMasters are deployed, this stage can be skipped.

You are also prompted for an SMTP relay to deliver alerts by email. This can be configured at this stage or skipped for later configuration.

There are a number of system settings on Kemp 360 Central that are optional. Full details on configuration is available in the Kemp 360 Central Feature Description document on the Kemp Support site.

System Setting Comment
NTP Time Server An NTP server is not mandatory. Using an external time server ensures that the system time on Kemp 360 Central (and LoadMaster instances) is correct and synchronized with the wider infrastructure.
SMTP Relay An SMTP relay is not mandatory. If configured, notifications may be set by email and email may be used to deliver usage data to Kemp.
Role Based Access In addition to the default admin user, other users and groups can be added and configured for role-based access.
Scheduled Reporting The system can autogenerate reports and deliver them by email. An SMTP relay is required for this feature.

Your Kemp 360 Central system is now ready to license metered LoadMaster instances.
