    The WAN is a service network used to transmit service data. The LAN is a maintenance network used for device maintenance.

  2. Click Next. On the Server Settings page that is displayed, set Cloud platform to Huawei Cloud and click Activate. In the dialog box that is displayed, enter the activation code.

    If the system displays a message indicating that the server fails to be obtained, reset the terminal settings and activate the terminal again. For details about how to reset the settings, see Routine Maintenance > Restoring Factory Settings in HUAWEI Bar Maintenance Guide.

    If the terminal still cannot be activated after the settings are reset, contact Huawei Cloud customer service at +86 4000-955-988 or 950808 and forward the call to technical support as prompted.

  3. Click Next. The Video Input page is displayed, as shown in Figure 2. Set parameters based on Table 2.
