5 Cloud-based Management Using Belden
Horizon
Belden Horizon allows you to manage multiple gateways on the network through a
secure VLAN tunnel via a webpage. You can perform multiple tasks, including activating,
setting up VPN clients, perform configuration and maintenance, and invite team
members.
5.1 Log In and Activate Belden Horizon
Belden Horizon requires that you activate the PLX35-NB2 the first time you use it. You
must obtain an activation key from the gateway.
1
Connect your gateway WAN port to a network that can reach the internet. The
MGMT LED will flash green if the PLX35-NB2 can reach the internet and is not yet
activated.
2
Log in to the module from the LAN port as described in the section entitled
"Connecting to the PLX35-NB2 Webpage
” (page 13). This takes you to the
Overview
tab.

Under
Device Details
, click the
A
CTIVATE
link to the right of the
Belden Horizon
label.
Note: If the gateway is already connected to a Belden Horizon account, the link reads “Deactivate”.

The gateway securely retrieves an alphanumeric activation key from Belden Horizon
that is only valid for three (3) hours. Record this activation key.
Note: The module must be connected to the internet through the WAN port in order for the module to
retrieve an activation key.
