You can link your Network Discovery hub with a Lansweeper Classic installation for access to Lansweeper's full capabilities. By linking your hub, you can manage both your IT and OT assets from the Lansweeper web console.
You can link multiple Network Discovery hubs with a single on-premise Lansweeper installation.

- You need to open port 9524 by default. You can select another port for the Network Discovery hub in the web console.
