To complete the basic Operations Center deployment, run the `register` command in the administrative shell on each Collector to register them with the newly configured Operations Center.

> ⚠️ Managed device licenses are enforced on each of the collectors for the Operations Center, not on the central Operations Center node. The Operations Center node must contain a license encompassing the scope of all licenses between all Collectors.

To register a collector:

1. Use a terminal program to connect to the management IP address of each Collector appliance.
2. Log in using the default *admin/admin* username/password account.
3. Execute the following administrative shell CLI commands on a newly installed or reset Operations Center appliance:

`admin-na206.corp100.com> ``register`  
`NOTICE: The inactivity timeout is being disabled temporarily while this command is run.`

  
`+++ Configuring Tunnel Registration Settings`

`Registration Server/IP [e.g., example.com]: ``10.1.21.2`  
`Registration protocol (http|https) [https]:`  
`Registration username: ``admin`  
`Registration password:#$^%#*#$`

  
`Register this system? (y/n) [y]:``y`

4. Enter` y`` `to establish a secure communication link between the Collector and the Operations Center appliance.

You can migrate from a standalone NetMRI appliance to an Operations Center environment.
