The Site Management tab lists all the sites that you can access and all the devices that are connected

If you do not see the site you want, you may need to add the site. See Connect to the AI Appliance
(using DHCP) on page 8 or Connect to the AI Appliance (using Static IP) on page 9 .

Or, select the AI Appliance then click Connect to Site… at the bottom-right corner of the

Note: More than one AI Appliance can be connected to an ACC site. Each appliance will
appear separately in the system tree.
Now that the appliance has been added to an ACC site, there is no requirement for the appliance to have
network connectivity to the ACC Client workstation, however the ACC Client workstation still requires
network access to at least one site member so that it can receive the camera feeds from the site for
processing and then return the processed feeds to the site for recording.
