Enabling LLDP for NVRs on the DoLynk Care Platform

How to Enable LLDP for Overseas NVRs on the DoLynk Care Platform

The latest baseline update for the Diamond AIoT Console introduces support for the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), allowing NVRs to report basic device information to the DoLynk Care platform. This feature enhances the ability to manage and configure NVRs remotely by providing essential details such as the serial number, equipment model, category, and profile picture. This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to enable and use the LLDP feature on the DoLynk Care platform.
 

Applicable Models

The LLDP support feature for reporting device information on the DoLynk Care platform is available on the following NVR models:

• NVR 4XXX-EI
• NVR 5XXX-EI
• NVR 4XXX-4KS3
• NVR 4XXX-4KS2/L
